4.哪有? what do you mean? not at all!
注:如果只说“what do you mean?”那是不带任何用意的问句,只是想问清楚对方的意思;但是它也可
用于挑衅及威胁,代表不满对方表达的意见。若加上“not at
all”,表示你在否认对方表达的意思。

as if!
e.g. a: today's test was very easy.
b: yeah
right!
a:he thinks he can socialize with us! as if! 他自认可以跟我们交往! 才怪!

man. i got your back.

人会常用,女人反而较少用。
