1. It's cool.6 ~: ]. a4 n) D8 v7 u
8 y( w7 n* r1 l) ^  R4 X% {* b
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:
- B5 ~% b' x$ r* B2 ]6 b    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. . O* K: X  i+ e, J
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
9 M% Q" K" s% |3 f
! T$ |" H  P7 Z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:
; ?) L( F/ b) x, X. \9 |    She (He) was cool in the past.
! D) Y% u$ O$ x9 M    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
% q) C- a9 P% Z7 x    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) ) g0 E; N* X: r4 E2 g5 {  W
( k9 [5 e7 ?: A6 f
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: # U5 N9 N1 s' w+ _. c& R& `2 Q2 w1 p
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not % s/ K/ r1 d; V' U2 B. i
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。

) ]" Z/ x& \9 h2. Are you trippin'?
- C" ~$ k/ {4 B  H, M( ], R; o- D: S. k3 h! ~6 `
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: . w8 c% z' q( v0 C3 K
    They are trippin'. (= tripping) / w& A# i# W0 U
    She (he) is trippin'. 3 g$ J, k0 g/ j
Mr. A must be trippin'.
8 w# Q6 B2 n  x; H2 G; r; A6 q- E" V通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。5 E5 A# T* v9 G, Y& x2 }, w

! p2 [4 {) P4 j* P5 G3. He is a nerd5 x* w4 u* R! B* J
) z, V% a; ?- c# T4 D1 c
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:
9 ^' F5 w' E& ^( \' H. N    He used to be a nerd in high school
) D/ s$ R) k: v7 w  w% S
+ y5 u' P, n1 m+ l6 H/ q, Y! p4. Yo baby8 l. l! c3 b2 d2 c5 }, a" q

& F8 p; t/ Y! VYo 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
' O; ^2 Z9 I  ?6 pyo”,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: - [) D% o$ Z2 R9 [
    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? . P7 Q6 P3 G; b7 i
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
- w" R1 x6 t7 h( F: l. |: b1 N3 l5 B/ j3 gMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
; t7 J( U5 x2 c, [# 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:
+ _0 U+ t; ]# t$ C7 J5 j" c0 ~/ 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?)

5. She is a ho
- W( Q$ }* q+ p2 o* s! [' H+ w
7 i2 r; k' e& a/ b4 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:
: e+ x! G, i% {. _4 \! h2 B    They are (were) hos. # V5 p; h5 k, G9 z6 V" i
    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.) 5 z9 g, {- Q! k" [* |5 E
1 B. X4 p( {" T" E+ M! J; u
6. Catch you later!
3 R  z# h+ Y/ f
2 s$ g9 L" v  b# B: O; i; ?( ^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 p4 l) L7 f- v% |" c
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.
$ B* `) C4 A. U! S6 V& U(我要走了,再谈吧!)
