1. It's cool.& s* X! a2 n& T% D+ j" K, R6 \7 L+ a

2 [$ M7 B# H- acool 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: ) v6 [0 M0 N! X% J8 c  N
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. . z$ H, |2 M6 k) d$ i+ c0 `
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)" y/ T4 l6 n( q9 `" |- j$ A
( H( m: u1 u5 d8 I' P  d
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:
1 w) d7 V1 x" ]( a2 ], v1 O    She (He) was cool in the past. $ C- j& Q: i" x
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) ' I- R6 ]9 p5 O* H0 X5 {) e5 p
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
- H+ |0 {1 G2 Z: [( D6 C9 }+ w" u7 f- x
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:
: w. D9 K3 j5 {& q2 P  l! S0 E7 O    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
; N* y  w2 |  x" k( O+ r    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
$ w+ s9 b4 O. h* o    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
9 ]" Z8 O; B  x6 d( W , b, F4 y0 b  g$ p6 a. ~
2. Are you trippin'?+ V* l, Z. d6 Y# P* Z  J1 `) r) A
& y; V: i6 ~, t" @# n% X  D' X: w
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: ) d1 r1 P' a. ?7 I6 X" q
    They are trippin'. (= tripping)   b1 g# o2 f& Y5 n( h" Q
    She (he) is trippin'. * s" h, X1 l& {- D3 O. ?
Mr. A must be trippin'.
+ V9 ]7 J4 b/ w: ~7 q通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。
; I7 {5 w/ t) y. h! }
( g0 ?3 j- w4 Z; T6 E3. He is a nerd3 V( F' Z. Z# J' P

2 H0 G7 D* A. N+ |: qnerd 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:
4 ^; W5 k: c5 \    He used to be a nerd in high school 6 y' a' I& f  q6 M  L3 Q
% Z8 d, _& P2 D  ^. C" s  @: b
4. Yo baby
: r0 k+ Q# f- b  ~: C/ R
, u* p0 k7 s* a. F% _- [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
+ Q- U5 c4 J. P$ ryo”,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: $ m8 q# J% U, R' f4 J$ L" a0 N
    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 k" |: a! i  |3 i
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:' n2 S1 n: z/ R0 ?7 L
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
. }. k5 N& W% s/ ^+ V0 y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: , H+ u) T$ s' l& d5 i8 o/ L
    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?)
  c! ?& E! p1 |6 Q) m( r+ ]( z7 M& `3 x2 x. O: o2 A. e
5. She is a ho
$ r' s/ x9 M: B0 p0 s9 R8 m/ D/ E' a1 R9 @+ P  q' w
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:
0 R0 ^  T) l8 ]( D/ h; u; ~5 k0 }$ N% w5 Z    They are (were) hos. - q- w" f4 H7 @' I( k0 s
    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.)
& s8 Z8 F+ }7 {% \) U. }2 W
$ v* u4 `' }. S" [4 B8 q6. Catch you later!3 D' I8 g( m0 ]5 _8 ]
+ T) g1 b0 i( P0 z5 ^% 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)
  M5 R- p; Y6 E1 q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.
; @- A+ O+ f6 q, m' v(我要走了,再谈吧!)
