Xbfeng

Michael和李华都为今天的考试苦苦准备了整整一个星期。他们俩刚考完，都觉得自己考得不错。俩人决定去看一场电影，轻松轻松。李华会学到两个常用语，一个是：buck; 另一个是：whatever。

M: Li Hua, are you going to get any snacks before the movie begins?

L: 你说什么？噢，电影还没有开场，你问我要不要买点吃的？嗯， 我本想买一杯可乐，可是买了票，没钱了，算了吧！

M: Don't worry about it! I'll buy you one. It's only a few bucks.

M: Yes. "Buck" is an informal way to say "dollar".

L: 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？

M: That's right. And the other day, I lent you a few bucks for lunch. And last week, you borrowed ten bucks so you could buy a chemistry textbook, and...

. Z/ f  n5 Y/ g. wL: 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.

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！
4 Z3 i3 {8 R/ Y' M
  y$ V2 z2 O2 A9 A0 n8 ZM: Handsome? Whatever! He's got to be over 50 years old now!

) \1 p1 C( W/ @' u* O' sL: 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。

$ W( w! N6 o( Y" F+ W6 f' OM: 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.
+ ^& [# [5 u0 v  M
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？

% X* E( d0 f* H% X8 q- 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。

( n3 K+ I5 J7 N; s- D7 E( fM: I'm fat? Whatever! This movie was a waste of seven bucks!

L: 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！

M: Whatever!

  P6 k1 T: Z& c* P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。
