1. It's cool.! i4 D# H( q6 q! Q8 L6 q; u5 V) A

8 v5 A( W) r2 ycool 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: / D# Q. b* Z3 Z
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
+ K1 Q& @4 a- {' ~- v% N    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)- V: Q2 y! |7 _4 Q% `. Z

& l. K8 ~  c/ u; _4 P" f: _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 u/ O# V& x& _3 h4 |" C; T, ?& G    She (He) was cool in the past.
- U1 k0 F$ Z# D2 c9 c% Q    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) 8 U/ |" B: }4 x. ?* c
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
# V! l* o0 Z) s# o' b, x) m6 e$ u# k! a* }) R  `
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:
) B% i5 D  p) j( D! A    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not ; x/ w0 |3 D  W' L' l
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 , u/ u& I" T6 ^+ G. `" l, R
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
, u' F! K( m8 e 4 ^, K% ?0 ^4 N8 `+ G
2. Are you trippin'?
/ j) x# \" U: X6 b9 M8 H3 W; B5 \* n, [( g8 f5 l: 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: 7 u7 K. p  m3 c+ x- O: m
    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
% x4 h1 o5 k% X3 j* I- T: i( W    She (he) is trippin'.
8 r* d* F0 f/ D* ^/ {& EMr. A must be trippin'. " ?4 E* s1 U2 C7 B) _4 @7 ^  S
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。' ?+ k. P9 P& t

7 Q. ]1 v' W- o9 ?: F9 E3. He is a nerd) U# D! ~1 r! i+ ?) d
( b, d1 L8 N; H/ k
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:
0 C% g2 Z# ?: `  U1 j) C; \    He used to be a nerd in high school
5 r% u6 t- n9 ]: U- l
7 T! B6 g/ Q2 e/ B1 e. c( t0 _& P  {; }4. Yo baby
3 }* U- u' ]$ l) Q& b6 G1 g+ e7 Q) p8 \
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 * `* M- _2 p( h3 Y5 |# F) A5 _
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:
. G7 {# ?* s3 D: Z3 a( Z    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?
+ ?1 L- A6 _1 S4 O+ f1 `" D% m“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
. h1 I1 K: I- V! {May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.   {- b5 y. S* j" `' J+ L9 {! w, M6 v3 Z
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:
4 R) E7 H2 ~8 {' ^( W    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?)
: q" }& o: @7 Y" B) }
( j2 J5 r$ ]% L; n- W/ `5. She is a ho
' y) X9 o0 J% N4 p2 U+ H# y
( m& Q4 s: @5 H# m  ^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: ' [  v, x, b; `( r
    They are (were) hos. # |- h$ ~" p# V# I9 M; \5 P+ d
    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.)
6 c2 L" d! ^, I. A0 b" U0 P2 z* U  @/ C- [; P
6. Catch you later!  z$ f- W2 f# A& Y- |
& C( _( k( S5 q0 S
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) ; {7 L0 D+ G) @* i$ ]! g
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. : o" d/ a; |$ c" u+ v) M
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
