1. It's cool.
4 t7 b6 @+ x, T8 Y) n, F; z. P/ v* P9 y3 B! [
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: " u; k7 m- l5 t& z' F- ?
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
1 P$ J! W/ n5 w" u/ ]    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
7 w  v6 {3 j) `$ \1 O+ o& @" a
8 x1 E1 B3 D/ R# X, b" E: G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:
, ?9 w; ~% ~9 L& v" y    She (He) was cool in the past.
0 O- d! G7 g: [    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
$ w7 R, s( X# X( T0 U    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) 9 I2 P+ G) r$ e' |0 w0 w4 x& Z/ o; V
9 p% I2 G2 \2 d) h9 K7 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:
" `3 v, c7 u( J$ T+ U0 K    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
7 r; ^- k3 g1 s- E: j0 ?    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 ! z! U- t0 n$ p  _& I! u8 g+ b
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) 2 H. w* U+ [! `! f; l+ b4 o

( Y- V0 ^+ v$ t. b" {2. Are you trippin'?
' m$ p/ Z) _6 ]1 `; y3 L3 {* R) }3 d2 |3 |
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: 0 @7 U" c/ `! i5 K
    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
" U! O" \' {7 f$ J+ y    She (he) is trippin'.
" q. m6 W# R- NMr. A must be trippin'.
+ s3 d# N9 Z1 y通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。
6 F) {; G/ }- H* C # M3 E$ S4 ~# H
3. He is a nerd5 }' C  q1 W, U- |- W
; [; F" `9 _- \+ ^/ r0 }" c
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:
% s, @; S, \8 r5 n+ S7 c& M    He used to be a nerd in high school 1 c; N3 Z( s% c* h) n5 L
# ^$ u# d! f: `. L. |% Y
4. Yo baby- J1 Z( g& ], c
! ~5 J8 E9 K( D
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 $ K) G2 b: F" @. ?5 k% Z  H7 J
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:
1 ~# Q7 R' d. ~' X; Q4 B    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? ) J: Q3 J' L. Q) X( n& H3 t" a
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
1 n4 c- d! I2 N+ D% u" A: M9 RMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. 7 L0 l, z) B& r. c5 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: : K; @+ L4 j: }% {& u
    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?)

5. She is a ho9 S- V( w+ p  [; X% }; i5 Q

" y4 W. ]. @: n: b! }; f+ U. xho 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: 6 C; w2 X  b- l9 D( m' r
    They are (were) hos.
- V6 i8 s2 I0 p  [4 v' X% f! }    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.)
8 ]" V- q% E+ o5 Z
/ j9 ?& ]# _0 P. c0 s: U; J6. Catch you later!, ~+ H, U( G) z3 p! p' m6 ]! X
; y0 X% Q! E# A" W: Q
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) - F' {4 x- F- q* Z
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.
6 L! E/ ]( Z. {* }7 M& T(我要走了,再谈吧!)
