一篇高一英语阅读理解(求大家帮帮忙,我真的看不懂~)
So,you know,it is what it is ,but Americans are totally annoyed by the use of“whatever”in conversations.The popular term of indifference(漠不关心)was found“most annoying in conversations”by 47 percent of Americans surveyed in a Marist College poll.
“Whatever”easily beat out “you know”,which especially annoyed a quarter of those who were surveyed.The other annoying expressions were “anyway”(7 percent),“it is what it is”(11 percent)and “at the end of the day”(2 percent).
“Whatever”is an expression with staying power.It was popularized by the Valley Girls in Clueless in the 1990s,and it is still commonly used,often bu younger people.And it can really be annoying.The poll found “whatever”to be always disliked by Americans no matter what their race,sex,age,income or where they live.
“It doesn’t surprise me because ‘whatever’is in a sepical class,probably,”said Michael Adams,a professor of English at Indiana University.“Its use is not always negative,”he said.
But the negative connotation(否定意味)might explain why “whatever”was judeged more annoying tha the ever-popular“you know”.“You know,”Adams noted,“is a way for speakers to seek assebt(赞成)from others.”
Pollsters at the Poughkeepsie,NY college surveyed 938 US adules by telephone from Aug .3 to Aug .6 .The five choices included were chosen by people at the poll discussion what popular words and phrases might be considered especially annouying,said spokeswoman Mary Azzoil .
