L: 得啦， 你用不着提醒我，我知道，那天借了你几块钱吃午饭， 上星期借你十块钱买化学书，不就是借了两回吗！你怎么啦，怕 我不还？

7 A! o' W' h% t/ _3 gM: No, I'm not reminding you, I just wanted to give you some examples.

L: 得了吧！要给我举例子，跟钱有关的事多着呢，为什么非要举我 问你借钱的例子！

(Michael和李华看完电影以后)

L: Michael，这电影可真棒！

M: What? Are you kidding? That was the stupidest movie I've ever seen. I would have rather spent the seven bucks on a good meal.

$ h/ a7 T9 g4 X; UL: 你从来没看过这么傻的电影？你宁可花这七块钱去好好吃顿饭！ Michael, 你真怪！我非常喜欢Piers Brosnan，他长得多帅呀！
% I9 P. i* E+ \1 \' J
M: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!
; x4 e8 P8 E2 x! m+ J
L: 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。
. J7 J1 V8 s' x( @9 ~1 b
; A  f, ^5 x! c8 uM: 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.
: S/ W: [& \+ k  u0 B# J5 g8 ^: s
0 t6 l- p/ t- R3 g  a$ UL: 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？

% A, h0 s# z( ~6 ^# r* EM: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.

% G4 w8 u# u$ T. H1 g0 J" d7 |* Q7 ]* ?# gL: 得了吧！对，Piers Brosnan年级不小了，也比以前胖了。可是我 认为他还是很帅。你自己不也比以前胖了嘛。

- i4 c1 z& |# i* J! j* D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。
