whatever連續三年當選最討厭詞彙

To brush off the results of a recent poll that asserts the word 'whatever' was voted the most annoying word for the third year running would seemingly be the best tribute to the news.
最近的民意調查顯示whatever（隨便）一詞連續三年被評為年度最討厭詞彙。不把這個新聞當回事兒？最好的回敬方式莫過於説一句：whatever！

A university in up state New York announced Friday that the dismissive 'whatever' continues to reign supreme in the common lexicon.
紐約州一所大學週五公佈，表示輕視鄙視意味的"whatever”再次在日常對話詞彙王國中獨領風騷，佔據了最招人嫌的頭把交椅。

For the third year in a row, the Marist University poll asked 1,026 adults what the most grating word was from a five options.
聖母學院已經是連續三年開展這樣的民意調查了，該學校在全國範圍內對1026名成人進行電話調查，詢問最讓他們討厭的單詞是什麼？人們可以有5個選擇。

Whatever took the cake with 38 per cent of the lot, though this is a drop of one point from last year, and even lower than it's high of 49 per cent in 2009.
“whatever”（隨便）脱穎而出，以38%的比率拔得頭籌。不過這個比重比去年下降了1%。2009年，whatever甚至拿到了49%的“好成績”。

While it clearly has staying power, some balked at the thought that 'whatever', a word made popular in the 1990s cult film Clueless, was truly the worst thing to come out of society's mouths over the past decade or so.
不過很明顯whatever耐力的確持久。有些人還認為“whatever”這個詞確實是過去十年裏公眾創造的最壞的東西了。whatever自90年代非主流電影《獨領風騷》中首次出現後，迅速風靡美國大陸。

The respondents do not get to suggest the words that bother them the most, but rather are given five options decided upon by the university.
調查對象的選擇並不代表這個詞最讓他們討厭，但是確定是在五個選項中最讓人討厭的詞彙。

This year's options included the always-annoying 'like' which came in second with 20 per cent of the vote, followed shortly behind by 'you know' with 19 per cent.
今年的選項中還包括一如既往招人討厭的“like”（比如），它以20%的投票排名第二，緊跟其後佔19%的是“you know”（要知道）。

'Just saying' and 'seriously' rounded up the group with 11 and 7 per cent respectively.
