1. It's cool.
4 X' ^) C9 n/ g, f: A: o' j. L$ h2 s
! y0 ?# o/ c! \6 o9 Qcool 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: ) ?; x9 y0 U; v$ y6 T! m
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. + V; F5 {. C3 f# d# t- }
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
( X' O1 y0 t$ A. c5 G8 F" M& I/ U. o- N4 V; x" n
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:
$ W3 @% M/ r) O1 `4 M    She (He) was cool in the past.
9 z9 z+ s- |$ E/ w6 p8 {9 K4 ?0 ~    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) ( W4 g4 n3 w: D. l) j
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
0 }% g4 E  E/ f) u
9 u6 l* F- I0 l% ]& W( g/ `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:
. {) h+ S$ ?- }5 C9 w3 V% `    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
- {) P  Q. y0 V' `) l    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 ' K; l9 G! L3 P# e& P9 [- [
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) 1 N5 r7 Z6 |7 K4 X. u* M4 }" ~

( h% G* u/ e0 {1 W0 B+ V2. Are you trippin'?0 X1 X% T6 f- D
1 \4 ~- A. e8 J7 E) z! [
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:
( H* W4 M! H, C' O    They are trippin'. (= tripping) , ^& P1 ]/ L8 B6 H
    She (he) is trippin'. 9 }, X3 m/ j& H* K8 L" Y# q1 ?
Mr. A must be trippin'.
. l$ M0 c/ e. a通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。) s0 W1 [4 P. p: I1 I! u  e8 x

5 \9 M% {- `* b2 \  h" ^$ J3. He is a nerd
& J( C: U- \. ?, ?5 T
- D  ~3 Y$ n  b; P1 Y& ]2 V" k7 a1 jnerd 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:
+ s! c; ~0 x' U( p1 e    He used to be a nerd in high school
) H3 |( {6 i7 F1 R
2 S/ y2 V) F5 K' F1 d4. Yo baby2 }  |. F9 [6 C; T

4 _* K6 a' b1 {9 X; i$ b! q" WYo 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 - O7 U) `% B8 I( r* w* b7 D! E, ?
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: 5 T2 m# f( J9 k0 ?
    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?
3 V. P2 T" }+ [4 Y  Q“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:( |1 ]" Z  Y3 X1 {* X) y' Z, T
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
: A# f: p4 N* p. p8 w# x, c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: ; Y# R* |% g! 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?)
" g# q- I5 }* w; p) G1 N

/ P$ p, ?% j; }  g1 ^- q3 y- w( a
, }  F9 B" ^, j- B7 ^5 ^* d; 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:
* K) T& K5 o3 u" }- V7 P% P1 v    They are (were) hos.
. I6 g# F+ r+ ]- t  X    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 x" D$ |& d% e( V! S

8 A# a. F+ [4 g* I1 Y! a9 w6. Catch you later!$ r( l4 i6 H4 N- e' K, G

: H: [( x( Z7 m4 W! M" V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) 4 |5 J# [1 Z) P" ?" l9 G, C. L
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.
4 Y- t" v, R( n& b- O' g& o(我要走了,再谈吧!)
