6 [3 a- O( G" T9 H9 PL: 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。# s8 R' f; a0 {9 V( a& Q; l# {" m
: L( s) S3 z' U3 e% PM: 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. : Z5 L" h! m8 R4 u! y0 f0 F% J& m6 i6 }9 d. e
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? - ?+ v: @7 W+ U$ U9 M( H( t & l; o8 F1 }6 f) X; o6 bM: Whatever!

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。; U0 T# @5 W- e# K( L n
