1. It's cool.$ D3 U8 j* ^2 ^

0 O1 ^, k( a5 s6 icool 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:
  _$ N' q# i; l7 V3 o& [9 m    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. 0 T7 f& I: n3 ]2 e9 x/ D: j
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)+ y  q: H/ O8 O: k& O) o

. T3 V, E' w4 u! O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: & r9 O0 B' U9 ^4 j! @  W. e
    She (He) was cool in the past. * l" n# [  w% k& @. X$ j+ ~( d
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) , q1 n9 y, v# P1 t1 b$ C
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) 7 \- Z' O1 N0 }* a8 q4 J4 M
" q" J. q: L5 [3 w; E
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:
% e4 t/ [. z+ x) N! O/ z$ V    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not ' b+ K4 @3 b! T$ d
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 , c+ Y/ D* h4 p# Z" x; V+ T
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
5 f: r# \' `8 @0 v: G2 o! @ $ f& U. a; I9 ]5 N5 D
2. Are you trippin'?) Z9 X# z% ~6 L' P

# ]# _$ n. @" R$ r( w5 otrippin' 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: 7 B+ \2 h7 k  I. Y  _/ u9 j6 G
    They are trippin'. (= tripping) 0 _% p* }3 i/ a* p5 a1 h% z
    She (he) is trippin'.
$ u- y. K2 U, J5 a1 M6 J) ~7 |- WMr. A must be trippin'.
  l" J" |) N5 Y, U9 y- ?通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。! ~# B' z2 B5 }1 s. H. L* X$ J
6 ~5 ]" D. U0 c" g: u
3. He is a nerd
3 Y# j5 n3 \' K, `6 B' [4 [  }, d( n. z  b! K( T0 A- \9 h/ i. w
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: ( m! A" W* k! `3 U' w
    He used to be a nerd in high school
3 \9 R  o$ e: E  {) K# x+ ^4 G6 z4 y( o% p  P9 Y5 n. |
4. Yo baby. h9 Z& t7 M8 C0 `6 G+ W& D
1 q$ d/ w& `- {
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 & m/ _) L! N8 [8 s, I
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: # h* p" q0 ?/ A. {8 A: j
    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? / _# [* o$ R4 P4 J
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
! |( W( e  K5 i" zMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
. x8 J% o9 y8 k& ]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: 5 m' x: t: w! 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?) ) y* b- G7 u& x3 H! D
: z, M: J9 ^9 }2 j4 ~* ~) b1 C  z
5. She is a ho
7 r/ [* ^5 e0 M7 g9 ]4 p+ `8 t0 S1 X5 M5 z
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:
) A) K1 @+ P% J+ v8 y5 _* w    They are (were) hos. ) d8 m0 e3 ^( d# 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.) / f' d2 A" M5 j$ h/ A. J1 u

/ @. G; O5 I8 O3 o4 k& M6. Catch you later!
# H/ q4 h) @' x2 c) Q& K6 ~
4 n* y* B) I- a9 {+ `7 \0 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) & @# M1 E6 F3 p$ n( M. w% v
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 s9 \* y6 P  C3 F1 x  U. e7 F+ M(我要走了,再谈吧!)
