1. It's cool.$ V+ l, f& s7 {

0 p; ?1 N9 b  Ucool 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:
+ p  B$ [' M7 K0 F$ Z5 ~    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.   O6 O# u. L5 m( E0 Y4 t; Y
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)1 o) R% N( H% |2 P: J; W
- F7 x  B" q3 E: k2 y+ R% ~
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: + b9 @% b6 M$ M: ~" J# v  c
    She (He) was cool in the past.
1 \( w* S6 d- ~" Q    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
# [! X( I: ?2 B; f6 a* H: P- @4 w    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
4 Q! I. y9 K2 Y2 W# M# {  H' h
# c0 k% T% M7 R$ f4 S  T1 [7 Z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:
  r/ V+ M( w1 r5 b. C3 g: g* ^    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not . r; ^: u% ^! r7 q
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 : g) O; w% j5 G/ b
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
+ i7 V, [+ b0 B% V( [2 m+ @5 s
1 Y( O7 `: m, {6 D' ^3 v2. Are you trippin'?" E; {  k( a2 |  W
8 p0 K7 O5 D2 ~: j; g+ Y
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: ) T4 A/ _1 E  ?5 X& i
    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
6 T6 Y& O- ?' Y- f    She (he) is trippin'. # g$ ?: h7 V7 r) Z: s; g
Mr. A must be trippin'.
' Q9 u9 r" T0 V: Q% i0 Z" l通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。

1 Z+ B( Q. n  ?" c# A: S7 Z7 X+ d
: l) \- X- w2 H! @2 @% T# Vnerd 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: , q3 p; u  o: e2 v, ~* O+ H' e5 z0 _
    He used to be a nerd in high school
% R: K7 X& J" G
( `% t3 @3 `3 W; A, ^4. Yo baby4 u( ^7 \% N: f  H$ x- }) ~
! e% E0 d0 Y% ?- b' |
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 2 W, [/ L2 v% r* z6 M
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: , }( d8 D7 W' s% T5 y3 Z0 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?
5 t6 i, U3 m1 Q  |6 A“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
- [9 ?2 g3 [8 LMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
! m- p1 U" m& n; ?8 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: 4 P# _* O7 X1 S! w0 ?
    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?) ) V8 I" |6 d1 S! e! ~5 Z" O

+ |, w: g: Y7 }3 F8 K5. She is a ho
" A7 \, o' g* R/ @' E. V& U3 [$ V, C8 J6 h
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: : F% e( m3 S+ \, Q
    They are (were) hos.
& z6 W) D/ V  [+ f9 g) J5 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.)

- _$ B' N  P3 U9 Z' j: z6. Catch you later!
& W5 k+ M. P1 h' a3 a1 e1 }2 b0 h, P3 ]( A$ \9 |$ @
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) 1 Y% |6 g" d. V6 F+ W* R
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. 7 i/ S) D& a1 p) X8 B
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
