1. It's cool.% b0 W8 A& |  ?! F

  k; [( s- u  O( R0 i0 g, J, Hcool 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: : D5 \( _; P1 W% ?" _* V- R% Q! H
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
- G7 _. R# n+ a4 i: x9 N( H    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
1 h/ ~$ Q7 k3 M6 l- v+ O7 j- V" ]6 @" o1 T; v6 J1 k
主词可用任何人称的单复数 (I, we, they 等),动词可用 verb to be 的任何时态 (is, was, were, will be, have been等)。因此,也可以说:
5 ]: y" L( ?/ U( B, k    She (He) was cool in the past.
( k9 `. j% ^7 ]9 f9 t    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
! _8 r2 F( z2 e( e2 E' L5 f    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
4 F, Z' i6 T7 r  E2 D
3 }4 L! J: l# J( {( w1 p+ M但是如果说:Are you cool?又是指「你冷吗?」(cool = cold),可见 cool 当口头禅或俚语时,多半不用在问句。假如说:
/ J$ ^1 W. X9 p2 \4 g: S    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
; Q2 |5 t; F. e! M# V& r    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 9 j$ m( E4 L& }( z$ e5 D
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
0 I+ H1 ^" \9 l7 _2 q# X# P0 _3 j* ~4 w
9 K$ i" |/ |4 \) t! l2. Are you trippin'?# [& }. g1 e% A
, e# j# v: n1 H0 `6 c; e  d' V
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: ( W3 c2 U. b/ T6 F' O5 x2 L" F
    They are trippin'. (= tripping) 6 z8 }- a8 x3 y
    She (he) is trippin'.
9 J) T0 g' p' P0 m2 ]Mr. A must be trippin'.
- f" `) M% S% p" K通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。

7 n- e( `$ V. M! d; Y3. He is a nerd- w3 n2 W- V! c9 l) ?

) i: i; J6 N" [9 B. g3 Vnerd 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' u# G" Y/ ?" y- ]
    He used to be a nerd in high school ! X9 P! S0 Q& l. M8 e* |

2 c7 M7 c. d; Q3 r: t* o2 n4 t4. Yo baby7 C+ h* Z. P& {1 X

: y  @; G; b% H: G& Y6 m' }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
) {4 V5 H! p0 \0 d1 x- n% |- J) Tyo”,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: ( r( ]8 y" |1 W* T4 R
    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?
. b/ H6 P6 R+ n2 S“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
2 a  ^  E& o6 `May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. 4 _7 e# d  k- X/ _& O
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: - T' V4 o: Q1 R, L/ v+ 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?) $ p" f+ w% K! f; r0 R1 q

* H: S" Y; |' V1 @2 v3 s0 r2 A5. She is a ho  b. @% k, ]+ B" U8 J+ e

2 S+ n% f( P, k9 J! P6 h) w+ i5 R8 Gho 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: 2 e8 r6 R/ ?4 e
    They are (were) hos.
' v  b7 f  n2 }, t) 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.)
$ Z* G# J4 z2 Y3 J5 E
9 h. L( P1 {. D& E7 O6. Catch you later!
# R% b# {2 O" Y: z/ W  z. }; e
3 _. V0 ]/ g. h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) 5 ]- f; l8 C2 p5 t% Y+ ~# Z+ Z7 Y" r
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. ) ?& v  @& P2 {/ V# l
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
