1. It's cool.
  z7 B4 j, I/ |
5 P" h* ~" k" B  C+ Pcool 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:
, r% y- Q6 k( l2 L4 F' Z1 A    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. + _' ~8 Z1 M4 u
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)! [) f: |3 Z2 [% f1 ]7 B

# J  [& ~; O% K& Q: i" B4 Y7 A) V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:
$ S: c9 ^; s( R    She (He) was cool in the past. - O* g! i, o, L( K3 g$ ~
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) 5 d2 Z1 V* x+ F; S' Z
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
/ @1 A; [9 \8 @/ u9 ^
; X" A$ h" y5 I7 _7 m, }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: & {, S5 I* s. I" x% K" r, d& B" S
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
5 Y- x, I9 ?# B    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 . b8 g+ Z$ {8 H2 p
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) # k+ Q; U) m: l9 O/ x

- _. f# w9 R' x3 r4 p2. Are you trippin'?
3 A; B. Q% J+ _( B5 ^) f& f* r- T6 X
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:
; ^1 x$ I9 \  R    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
# G. s( n# U  C- g+ k    She (he) is trippin'. ; H: D- I. X9 N) `
Mr. A must be trippin'. 0 Q; H# Q: F) g6 \
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。
6 L7 ]& [! C- ~! I, `' |" U
, ^2 |* \+ y( l3. He is a nerd5 r' Y- J% I& l$ P2 M
. ^% j; \' m; O
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:
4 R' j. c& m6 J: P    He used to be a nerd in high school . z* ^2 }( R1 K( p2 ]* {0 u

* i" I( S( v' P0 U/ Y4. Yo baby
8 w9 w* m& s" P3 C5 Z
$ ~4 w5 Q1 }* W8 @4 |) h3 H/ EYo 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 / _$ K8 t9 a" t/ e1 K
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:
' y7 u# _- U$ g4 B+ p- W    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?
9 j' {5 f+ U) c: r& H2 }6 U“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:6 K4 {* N# @8 ~+ c; C
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
0 X0 |8 \) g2 T7 l  s  j7 P5 ^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:
! H' g% |" z; P+ C    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?)

& o2 \2 F+ l) g& M4 e% Q! \, s5. She is a ho
/ c8 D) D# h. M- r+ w- Y
$ ~; H# g$ N9 Sho 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:
- ?/ `. T6 [# D" e' l. y    They are (were) hos.
2 h8 k& x: Y: t    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.) 9 F/ R- x7 ~" X+ w3 R, e, h- B, y

4 O' y* [6 Q" ~$ `5 s) ^6 W: a3 D6. Catch you later!
, g& L# r6 N9 V# L; @
+ _1 H& {- }* R# L3 n! ]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)   V- T6 E) E6 j2 ~: J1 g
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. ( \' K/ _3 ~7 x& s* N# ?+ c( a
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
