单词whatever最令人反感

Whatever you think about using grating words, at the end of the day it's actually better not to say whatever, if you know what I mean.

不管你对使用恼人的词语怎么看，到头来最好还是不要说“whatever”（无所谓），你懂我的意思吧。

For the second consecutive（连贯的） year "whatever' topped a Marist poll as the most annoying word or phrase in the English language.

Nearly 39 percent of 1,020 Americans questioned in the survey deemed（认为） it the most irritating word, followed by "like" with 28 percent and the phrase "you know what I mean' at 15 percent.

"Perhaps these words are introduced through popular culture, for example movies ... so they catch on," said Mary Azzoli, of Marist. "It has a lot to do with how accepted and how popular they become in every day speech."

Azzoli said words like "whatever" can be quite dismissive（表示轻视的） depending on how they are used.

"It's the way they are delivered and inherent（固有的，内在的） in that delivery is a meaning.

The phrase "to tell you the truth" and "actually" were also unnerving（使焦躁） to many people. But for younger Americans, aged 18 to 29, "like" was the word that annoyed them most.
