1. It's cool.
5 X$ U! }) p% t2 }4 k7 o' N
0 h7 U$ x- R: i0 z9 P2 Scool 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:
, X& m1 V0 u" v( y    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. + I% J& @0 F1 M% K$ R
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
& b* L) {/ Y4 c% \+ U7 b# u. H4 b5 B  S
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: + ?( Z0 h( [; Z# g/ Q7 }3 F
    She (He) was cool in the past. 8 `) c) W: v( L! I
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) & }5 |* l2 z% O8 o) F: l8 b1 Y8 G
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
1 k0 l" @* I: w1 l* q
2 F3 U* W% o- j) i2 H+ x8 ^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 x1 W+ \; w) t9 O    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not ; L6 V4 i; K; ]
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 % g2 b; L/ f4 V0 J0 ~( Q$ Q
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) 2 i" u3 ]# k9 x* R/ ~  z

3 I" G: {+ T1 J$ m9 \2. Are you trippin'?
3 [1 z& A  B3 o$ _- I+ m/ `/ `% z) m0 w5 u$ ?( N! k
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:
1 A8 {* T* ?" ~. [9 Q    They are trippin'. (= tripping) 8 o. V. |) M& R' s) g& R
    She (he) is trippin'.
. ?9 U; [8 G8 ?8 g/ dMr. A must be trippin'. " ^& B: S  m1 \' Y5 e1 z+ C/ S
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。$ a3 V% C( H. a. z$ l7 H+ C
8 r  G. d% w, i6 k! p
3. He is a nerd) t4 u1 G+ W2 k" y

/ X: x8 d5 Q# f. N( I" E# knerd 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: 3 S) M0 ]' ?/ ?: c4 W
    He used to be a nerd in high school ( F7 i- W. ~& A8 z

1 p+ ^- U# d) v* G' U2 _4. Yo baby5 F% C) |3 a) t' q2 D

1 m9 O+ L3 \  y, {* d7 _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
7 f  C" a7 ]5 d# ~; Z1 qyo”,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: : P* {3 W$ e# t1 N) K, I+ F
    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?
4 H& h2 V. G# Z3 Y* s1 w: L8 o“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
  R& o9 l, Y% \7 U6 b3 OMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
+ T( p& K' @& [6 P9 A& {$ v# N* p1 [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: & w6 h, x' G7 L5 g1 c3 K
    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?)

3 J0 z& |1 _  G; I6 X5. She is a ho+ a- `; h$ s5 M8 D" g; i
9 A4 G0 b1 q$ Q, w3 g
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: # i8 b5 i$ v9 U
    They are (were) hos.
9 C% i0 ^: {. e' q2 S2 H: j' l    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.) $ i/ @4 i1 \) F0 Q
* ?3 M# [- R- j5 Z, W" }! t
6. Catch you later!
) F4 W6 v9 v1 h% O9 ?( o! |. o$ V8 M9 |3 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)
" p3 Q7 H0 ?3 b/ {8 u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. , _& R* z6 u& k
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
