1.whoa

　　\wō, hō, hwō\

　　whoa是西部牛仔经常说的话吗？没错，Cowboys say "whoa" when they want their horses to slow down. 当牛仔说whoa后，他们的马就会慢下来。所以whoa的第一个意思就是：a command to stop 嘿，慢点。

　　例句：Whoa, don't put so much detergent into the washing machine! 慢点，别往洗衣机里倒太多的洗衣粉！

　　Whoa还有另一层意思：an expression of surprise 表示惊奇。

　　例句：Whoa! You're scaring me. 啊！你吓到我了。

2.gee

　　\jē\

　　Gee 可以使你说的话带有遗憾、惊奇的色彩。

　　"Gee..." is an interjection that shows surprise, wonder, or uncertainty. Sometimes when people say "Gee..." (in a long, drawn out fashion) they are just pretending that they are surprised. Gee放在句子里，可以表示惊奇或是怀疑。可要是拖长了调，说geeeeee，就表示说话的人在假装惊奇。

　　例句：His car broke down? Geeeeee... that's too bad! I was really looking forward to Professor Johnson's class! 约翰逊教授的车坏了吗？(假惊奇)啊，太糟糕了，我是多么想听他的课啊！
