- V0 ]5 O; z9 YM: Yes. "Buck" is an informal way to say "dollar".

' n( d) L( K1 x1 q9 ~0 CL: 哟，"buck" 就是"dollar"！是非正式的名称。 嗨，昨天我要买一块 糖，你给我一美元，那我就可以说："You gave me a buck"，对不 对？

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？

L: Michael，这电影可真棒！

. @- I% H5 W& A7 x' ?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.
" r6 V# t/ t6 Y4 h! D
L: 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！

  _) i! b( T2 [+ J- D+ B
$ ~/ h# H# A1 A/ fL: 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。

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.
" |1 G1 b9 w' }  i0 Z# L
5 d7 V. r; M3 i: K" u; 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？

+ a+ N. U1 d  G- p8 `M: Whatever! Piers Brosnan is an old man and he's getting fat. I couldn't possibly be jealous of him.
3 h- B+ g9 I2 b. D% T( k+ ?/ I: H& N
L: 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。

: ^! Z* ~: q. Z3 q7 h3 ?& UM: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!

- W9 \8 b) i6 y, M9 h9 d' NL: 唉，非要说看这部电影是浪费七块美元。 得了，Michael, 你还是 省点钱吧，没准我下回还要问你借呢！

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。
