M: The word "whatever" I said is the same as in your example， But when someone says "whatever" like this: "whatever," he is being sarcastic. He thinks what you just said is nonsense.. k, ^. L3 [# e( r8 Y1 E

李华今天学到了两个常用语，一个是：buck，这是指美元；另一个常用语就是：whatever，这是表示说话的人对对方说的话很不以为然，就象中文里说的"得了吧"。这次[流行美语]就学习到这里，我们下次节目再见。 & W: a2 @5 `! W' ^6 o! JAudio as following: h) M' V' q9 T
