1. It's cool.3 B3 k2 g) a$ L5 k2 c% u
& A9 b4 }/ \  \5 X: V/ a
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 V( Z" |9 S' w3 r+ f( X* N; l; w0 Y
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. + h8 D3 q  D* e' Q
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)7 d6 T$ G6 W2 @1 R: b
- Y3 v5 l. q* [
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:
( G) l, x3 B8 n  b% i4 a    She (He) was cool in the past.
9 R5 S" c" @; z# m, O+ M    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) & R/ M0 n; W! v0 n2 L7 h, T2 ?
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) 9 p1 ^, \- _, V# {3 J$ i. i

+ s( p$ x' w  D8 K) \, m; P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: 2 s3 r7 U0 P! A, s) O
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
7 {( t6 h' l; n4 `! j% u$ ^- P$ t- J    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
6 o% T5 {! f( w+ [, p& f% q; q    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
( T/ q. F3 h" E' H6 ~  V; C
4 _( p# E% U& d/ w1 {7 W1 |5 N) ^2. Are you trippin'?
& r3 }, y( x$ `# H2 c' m/ Z% e0 j. J2 A
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:
+ ^- {: D: H$ ], u8 }$ D! o2 e    They are trippin'. (= tripping) 1 X% O# x9 ~5 K1 }. r: y
    She (he) is trippin'.
0 T- S: a  t: h( r! |6 Q2 uMr. A must be trippin'. 6 @/ f, a9 E$ G1 D5 |
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。
7 t9 E* c7 L7 m
1 v* b" H& ~2 q( n8 {$ I( |' D7 {3. He is a nerd% ^; j% i2 y: a; `/ n7 l

5 Q( Q; [" A8 s4 |) T' p2 dnerd 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: * \  R% X" [7 J7 \! ^( O- Z$ l
    He used to be a nerd in high school
& f7 _) o4 t- m+ n' h1 O. N' e% x, }9 E
4. Yo baby9 ?' s- O& D+ r9 P. D1 \0 K
. o. y/ \! M; O8 E3 R
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
; z0 Y+ d7 L' y$ A$ Fyo”,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:
/ r3 h  Z9 x/ W* 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?
7 {# [8 v/ w; o1 Q& ]“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:* j+ x: @3 N3 ?1 A
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
( w3 Q1 q, _+ @( n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: 3 v' o5 H. z9 c( x3 N" h& i
    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?)
$ a0 T8 Y/ ^" V! \* P) @# F5 l( G, B, l& g
5. She is a ho8 H3 d4 d! J) {0 s' i# ]8 B& d& {2 t

: ~% l. S. x5 hho 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- ~- e9 ]! S" b* Q    They are (were) hos. , `3 \8 X9 f1 P  F3 L$ i2 O
    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.)
7 i, `1 K' u. M% J, d, ]$ S$ B0 }$ s2 A! f" F$ M
6. Catch you later!
+ S- V0 y0 p/ M( P- H
& p; }2 ~  Q# d" s7 z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) . G/ }; Y5 f' E# {) j
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.
/ Q3 m, G- F5 f8 h+ ?(我要走了,再谈吧!)
