1. It's cool.9 k5 H; E0 C& c3 r$ L( e6 `4 P
" X8 O1 Q: a, ^' ^  m
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:
# l" S4 I( K. Z# X: x0 {* E) L8 t% l/ [    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
: |: r6 n4 @7 c# @    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
+ [# _1 v0 i: s' r; N$ H, J4 y: Y* ]$ \7 N7 `9 j6 K. b  \
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: 3 B7 {- q6 l7 b9 F' _8 W6 R7 E
    She (He) was cool in the past. , N# R/ e- \/ c5 \6 P! j7 M
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
( N- m. @  G/ x    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)   z5 ?8 K) w" A5 n) r8 L

% H* d+ _  g8 E5 W0 e: |: ]) M8 [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: + s/ p- I8 M7 j' \' B- j
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
+ J- F7 M1 @2 X/ @! z. c    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 ; z' \* `" H( {7 C' a( j& o- b
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) 8 c$ V  Q* z, J; s2 J2 @- R+ k2 L7 Q

8 ]2 s" Q3 u% {2. Are you trippin'?! O0 ^! N, N. I; J7 F! L& [
- n* L) V8 L+ {4 T& V8 y
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:
: L9 M3 L2 v' O  W# P& v( e    They are trippin'. (= tripping) & [! ~$ _. I# k, Q4 U2 ?, t; W
    She (he) is trippin'. ; v% [1 j8 g% g% ~
Mr. A must be trippin'. + C9 i& G# E5 |1 F6 g/ D- u" ?
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。

3. He is a nerd
+ Q( l2 a" d4 y, {; r/ t! E; N" A% r* k) ]4 }: I( q
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:
; d8 e+ K6 i2 D" h- S    He used to be a nerd in high school

4. Yo baby
) u. j* U5 E/ `7 H8 f1 U8 P) k
# v) ^' e8 E6 ~6 @+ I3 a8 UYo 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: T1 y) D& L  S: ]( k+ C
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:
( a0 V9 E# o6 Q% I$ x* ?, T9 h! x    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? & h: N$ I! J( O3 V6 V
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:( G. K6 N/ g$ _
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
$ |4 H6 x' S% B; [4 m) \. j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: 9 D# b+ K1 z: E' l% e3 N
    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?)
$ H' u5 ?- z/ I3 d
* ~5 }: b/ ^  @/ W5. She is a ho
8 |4 G6 z$ Z7 D+ k$ D9 \7 ]" D! ?$ X  Q
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:   N2 r! `0 p3 r0 i
    They are (were) hos.
+ Z+ R% ?# R$ q    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.) 3 t( z* d$ C# h" n0 o& k( ~7 O$ t/ O/ w2 ~
4 @( B: w0 C& x2 ~4 `0 [' ?. s  F8 e
6. Catch you later!
- Z; o. Y* U7 H; f! J$ K  \: _% v7 V2 i1 W4 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) - ?8 T1 }' J% P& g/ |. v7 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.
0 ]' a5 Q( k) h1 S! `$ |" X% m6 U5 J3 ~: V(我要走了,再谈吧!)
