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。 / X8 W. Z6 y( I" |* d) i( [2 u( M u7 X3 e7 A: ]1 n4 C9 v" u3 \1 L, a
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. # {* x" L0 _+ E8 h) i4 w. S * `3 ]( b* U( R3 U3 Q. y. WL: 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？; _! x1 L |5 S
