1. It's cool.
$ [. |/ ~, G1 k4 o3 }
' ?2 Z8 x' |3 p) ]! N6 |cool 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: $ a& i  S* q) m, l7 I! k
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. 9 ?# Y5 z6 _$ t; U5 @' M! Z0 j
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)" [4 O* i' [. t

" i; J: X8 A' d6 y" b% I/ z3 D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: : Q3 a; G- P1 `( f8 H3 X1 \2 L
    She (He) was cool in the past.
% f8 V8 G  e) E+ p    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) ; X1 A: G: G& B* K+ e
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) $ H8 ?+ }( R! ~' L7 o$ r: E3 W
/ }: r% U! V/ l/ _
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: ' k  N4 d( ?: y  Y8 C7 a
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
7 V0 N. k* e' ^% ]& I3 t1 z    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
9 W# d; z5 z( v) a/ u$ U9 a    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
8 f0 X4 b' n$ r$ C- v1 G " a  s9 I% i; G, l. H8 L3 k/ @
2. Are you trippin'?; @: D( C( c  t+ W' r9 {
' X4 ?9 H4 n* k# ^) U8 d
trippin' 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:   L4 c- O) |' l
    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
# M/ s( R/ z( @6 P# C    She (he) is trippin'. : ?* A: o7 F! w4 E9 W" D( w
Mr. A must be trippin'. : `/ `, G  m  Y; S. Z
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。* W* d* h% |- l: B$ w4 u/ U7 w

3. He is a nerd
9 P8 ]) g1 p8 m( S% ~; u4 d# _( |
3 h/ J; G7 ]  h2 t5 A8 Znerd 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:
  N, b$ h9 c' y0 S. @( @" v    He used to be a nerd in high school : E  N7 k  r+ ]3 f. R0 p
9 G% k3 W( J- F. O/ c( j
4. Yo baby8 O6 v6 F9 c6 n9 k1 n( Z. k7 w

1 ?7 n- c( p& V$ q/ aYo 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
. F( r# s  l0 i( h7 Y, Zyo”,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:
6 o0 c  X2 Z( j' e6 n6 s: u6 o    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?
8 B" w& }: O* T) t( T6 g6 j) E- ^  S“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:# u9 y& W& K* f* O" O$ _& u2 A
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
5 P9 j2 t2 D9 R( p% R8 ~. F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: % p8 Q" @. b! V! A, [" e' ?- K
    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?) $ s5 \; D- C( ]4 O& X! W) b

/ b2 H6 `! h; v% P3 Y3 s: U% G7 {4 E5. She is a ho
" [1 n( `' G  o+ C& B9 W7 z& E. j" R7 ~( i9 k, _
ho 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+ }: }( Y% q% ~4 ?    They are (were) hos.
9 k/ |' P* w  i! [& ?, X    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.) . P* ?3 ~+ Z& B- }
% n" _5 E7 e- [3 _
6. Catch you later!
. X1 b* o* d/ y
5 w2 C1 B; I' q. o( f  t/ c. @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)
" g3 ?3 S2 d2 w, Q  d- H. w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.
' @, R6 m' H5 S9 O# k(我要走了,再谈吧!)
