! }" Q% Z8 U" _/ g2 uL: Michael, 你说 "whatever"，在这里是什么意思呀？比如说：You can buy whatever you want." 意思是：你想买什么都行。可是，你 刚才说一个字" whatever"，口气不同，好象意思也不一样。 # y0 e6 y7 ~8 K0 O1 T( I( H# j2 _% g+ Z
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. ' m2 Z1 e) G. x# B4 {+ D, G3 u/ v3 q8 i
L: 噢，原来是这么回事。你说的whatever和我举的例子里的 whatever 是一个字, 可是，说的语调不一样就表示说话的人在讽 刺对方，认为对方说的是废话。好，又学会一个词。不过， Michael，你不喜欢这部电影是不是你认为Piers Brosnan不够帅？ 你 是妒忌他吧？ " V9 ^+ J+ p1 e5 E& S . q( Z+ t% b+ `3 D5 T' M: xM: Whatever!
