1. It's cool.
9 k; f8 g, M+ c5 m$ e( S2 g
; j- s' Y, p' j- n; q- Z) tcool 是青少年(teen-agers) 常用的字,(有时也用 debonaire) 其真正意思是指可以接受的好事;或是情况可以控制;或是保持冷静、文雅、礼貌、外表不错,能够合乎年轻人的标准。(可指人或事物)也就是 something good or acceptable;situation is under control;being calm, gentle, courteous or good-looking;meet teen's standard. 所以可以说: ; v8 K, s2 S6 a* O) U0 a
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
9 T* u! _# b3 c$ j. R* B& \    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)0 S( t0 h( Q$ R& G3 O" F. b

; i" f& N7 M4 P2 J) j( S+ I主词可用任何人称的单复数 (I, we, they 等),动词可用 verb to be 的任何时态 (is, was, were, will be, have been等)。因此,也可以说:
1 [" w$ `7 `) f# y9 C( Y6 |5 H6 l    She (He) was cool in the past.
% ]4 q, S6 m  [; D* N) r4 A/ S/ J    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)   Q5 p. [. A' n6 u6 _' d9 S
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
" O9 q8 A% s4 v5 u5 U' ^0 \1 j& U0 M3 G8 I6 P% c
但是如果说:Are you cool?又是指「你冷吗?」(cool = cold),可见 cool 当口头禅或俚语时,多半不用在问句。假如说:
7 i  x# h8 I  F$ M    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
. n8 J: W5 O- \- w' d. U# ]: o    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
3 o0 E# j9 u/ O& ^    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
1 h) c. D! V/ Y% h
$ A& T1 b; }% ^* M2. Are you trippin'?
. T2 P  T- z- M1 y  j
, H. j  C$ L# F' r5 f/ l4 Ctrippin' 这个字,是由动词 trip 演变而来。(动词时态是:tripped, tripping)年轻人用省略符号 (apostrophe ) 代替 g,表示是 slang,或口头禅。这个字是现在分词当形容词用,是指行为异乎寻常,也许受到吸毒或喝酒的影响,而显得神魂颠倒、奇形怪状(to get high on drug such as LSD),也就是说:要不是受到药、酒的影响,你为什 显得这样古怪呢?(Are you under any influence of drug or alcoholic? Why are you so crazy and bizarre?) 所以可以说:
, H* W; @# ^8 h+ y$ s, q) }    They are trippin'. (= tripping) & g! s  g- ^% t! |  b# H" C7 L
    She (he) is trippin'.
4 n( o/ O9 E6 uMr. A must be trippin'. 4 g/ {4 k2 W  s3 u& A
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。7 U8 Z0 a7 A+ H2 h/ N

6 n/ M$ q9 ?5 F9 i7 t3. He is a nerd1 |3 Y1 n' e9 A# e) f
& x; X+ L0 z4 W$ p0 ~7 k  ]6 F/ G+ s
nerd 是指一些年轻人,每天只懂读书、考试,但对生活上的其他事情,都很生疏。 (A person always buries his nose in books, but not good at social situations.) 由於美国十分重视多方面发展的教育 (well-rounded),所以许多老外认为 nerd 虽然学识不错,但很乏味;有IQ,但缺乏EQ,只是社会上无足轻重的「书虫」或「蠢货」而已。(IQ = Intelligence Quotient ; EQ  = Emotional Quotient) nerd 可用复数,动词也能用其他时态。因此可以说: 5 H: b5 }5 i2 z. j- H
    He used to be a nerd in high school
4 \. P; f; l" s$ V+ _
/ ?5 z. r$ f) W$ |4. Yo baby
' ~: c3 ?2 u* _! _$ H2 t& k' `1 I/ v" I4 D* M' z; T
Yo baby 是许多年轻的黑人男子对女子的招呼语,也有人用“Yo baby, yo baby
+ `) c2 }8 T7 E9 _& g9 \yo”,由於女子很漂亮,很吸引人,他想与她交谈。(He thinks she is pretty and attractive, so he wants to speak to her.),也就是找话题,想要「打开话匣」。(to use as a form of opening line or pick-up line or to begin a greeting; try to know her or date her) 如果说: . _7 e6 _9 m! Q
    Yo baby, are you trippin'? 意思是:漂亮的姑娘,你的样子有点怪里怪气,有什 心事吗?
0 ^% _; r7 l" n6 d$ A. j“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:/ g4 W( ~4 G/ \( r
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
. M8 y" v  k- V% x/ p' w2 I. O; M同理,如果年轻女子看到帅哥,有吸引力,很想与他交谈,那 就用:“Hey, hey, hey" 後跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如: 0 B; V; O$ s0 R+ c; e! `1 d& d
    Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?“what is going on?”就是年轻黑人打招呼的用语 (a form of greeting or open statement) 或 Hey, hey, hey, are you going to the movie?(帅哥,你是去看电影吗?) ; G* T+ j3 J% N; z4 E3 r

0 g3 [2 n* \" A& F) v0 K# X5 S5. She is a ho
' i$ F2 l3 _+ n" R7 ~5 c. F
4 `5 f. B3 L2 M& I! Fho 这个字,也是美国年轻人把 whore 字改变而成的一种口头禅或俚语。意思是指一些年轻女人,也许因为 peer pressure 或 curiosity 或 enjoyment 的心理,随便自愿与男子免费上床。(a girl or woman gives sex freely without charge),也就是说:She is very loose. 或 She is a loose woman (girl)。 ho 也可用复数:
. O. X& s+ d, @) R/ p- O  q    They are (were) hos. . k8 i! H: X* S$ o8 J' o) }: F
    There are quite a few hos in high schools. 但是如果用 whore,是指妓女,男人需要付钱的。(a girl or woman is paid for sex.)
" C* B. M7 D0 g% S: B3 h1 L" a9 a4 s; m3 V; f7 p4 I5 _
6. Catch you later!
6 D! O+ c6 g3 k) S; I2 n+ V
- j3 z: U0 T( m2 _  l& j2 g: Q; S这是年轻人说「再会」的口语。(a form to say“good乡bye”) 也就是说:现在没有时间与你交谈,以後再谈吧!(I don't have time to talk with you now, but we can talk later.) 因此,catch 就是 talk 或 contact 的意思。catch 後面,也可用其他人称代名词(him, her, them 等) 2 `7 a" V: M; {! S" I9 y% z. j% m
有时年轻小伙子也用:I am off. 意思就是:I am leaving now; I'll talk to you again. 8 r" v9 J6 ~: q7 p8 {
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
