1. It's cool.
" m8 a( [# {2 x2 F3 {( `( Q4 q# \9 y2 w1 Q
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:
3 T. B$ X3 A# l9 `4 ]2 I    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
3 ], y, z! @9 H- q( d    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
9 O. ?# e# Y6 I8 |/ z) c! K' Y2 n. N6 K  M. x" j  W/ v' C# w
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:
$ g5 h, B1 Q# V( `. }; c    She (He) was cool in the past. : F4 F" ?0 u0 w" Y
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
0 s$ {7 I. V. j+ k% g% c    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)   d7 h# U3 n( V  K+ Z# v7 B

( l6 M; _" M1 F9 `0 Q3 m# R" p9 }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:
) Q/ n4 O6 ~/ Z    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not $ ~+ G  C# p4 I, O0 j, S( M
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 # a9 t8 N8 |( |
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
) i- f' Z" d5 M; r4 W( U) c
' \* A) s, r! z* ?2. Are you trippin'?; Y  ~0 E  }9 E5 t5 ]
' K( q' S8 E. ?2 {5 ~$ @/ ?
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:
# R0 e* L7 ?8 b! b    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
$ c: n4 Y9 ^8 C1 A$ n% [    She (he) is trippin'. 2 ?6 j3 s5 K) G' X
Mr. A must be trippin'.
! R- v% a9 W7 i4 l- [通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。5 `0 m' O4 P2 U! o2 l% M5 D

8 M( u* s4 W+ _) j7 W! C4 H3. He is a nerd
2 y; n# S0 i- b+ `7 A# k7 i' T% _) f
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:
" n, X9 y1 |# w3 T+ n  ?5 ^0 Z    He used to be a nerd in high school " [4 K1 T) s7 Y9 y; z1 E" |3 C

1 q) x- j' L9 B4 n4. Yo baby
7 M* P) L6 s, _7 l; X5 @' Q$ |' ~
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
* U; P9 o- J& \8 ?) ?  Ayo”,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: : T4 U: u& i3 A
    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?
" ?! t3 e  B$ s& [9 q“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:" U& t* L% s5 X# D
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
, _5 n$ `# D4 J* C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: 6 y" k: x3 q# F6 v! m% X
    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?) 1 A# o" D4 Q- ?4 D

" s- Y, O% t$ |0 M0 l5. She is a ho* a9 n7 i5 \% N0 o9 R) y% q

: ~- `* Y. t) M* V) y" O* Nho 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: ( c; r0 V, n" g, H0 w
    They are (were) hos.
) O+ ~) [0 l2 Q8 E; k) `    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.)
' q# m" X& P/ m* f) I
' k, e1 z- S7 X6. Catch you later!+ ]( x- u  o) e9 ^3 ^5 ~% K; u

" S9 i' F# H) v* }& y! s5 V0 w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) * n& v& [1 C! r1 f
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. 9 X7 [/ Q' T! H8 h6 `% W# s
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
