U6 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？ : c t; v2 Y; I( D6 ?* k8 b+ ?' l 4 s9 L* I8 ]; [: F, w) b: oM: 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。 % N+ ?6 P+ d# A" A/ R! L9 b0 @Audio as following: / h5 j) Y& }9 f% u" G+ ]3 v
