1. It's cool.
# L" x" \# o0 I  \6 A; o( @& w
. |9 [% M. F; x2 _( V* [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:
: [6 P0 C$ b& `& p  W    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
" F2 O1 y, {/ F: b' ?    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)4 E! B% ^+ O0 b3 T( O7 L

  x' e! N& a2 c1 \* R$ G! l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: / o# L& T' `' ^$ |  s# O0 `
    She (He) was cool in the past. % l0 N9 }6 ~1 O: x
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) & @& b) m2 |: R: o4 Z) G) @. q
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
% J3 O7 S; R# K8 o. v
% r0 u0 n+ V: |% _6 _- M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: 3 \& V. I! D% \
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not # m/ s; S) S5 h. k- q6 B
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 9 O$ l' v7 \! u+ _) i. R
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) & F4 d; y/ d! z) }& _+ ~0 v  h

; W; ^9 B0 n' v/ \2 b( E8 f$ @2. Are you trippin'?
/ ]4 K! K% C3 @' N7 ^" V4 s4 S4 C
/ t) r' B5 [  n& H: ^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: , ]: {- E; v0 [
    They are trippin'. (= tripping) - G3 N# U+ {( o1 w+ u
    She (he) is trippin'.
  J+ ]+ _6 v# N6 u! G& b7 mMr. A must be trippin'. ; w2 t% Y  E. N$ ^2 p8 k
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。

) R  v" |& H! T) M9 r4 N
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:
  g3 d+ Z8 x5 d1 R' E2 T    He used to be a nerd in high school 6 |* ?% s% n9 b- V8 W

2 K2 ]. q- g* L/ X+ \% q% k. @; h
/ S1 [2 K7 J3 l! K4 K. S7 [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
; E* o* o# j2 a7 h& E) }7 B2 X+ C" Xyo”,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: / t" d1 X5 V' V3 S7 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? $ ?9 z: `% @8 z- F# T2 u
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:2 Z6 ]& p! }3 r9 L6 t
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
$ K  v. k. c* w; V+ k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 r) e$ N7 Y" G# |0 e    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?) ! B  O( R: w9 \- C; w
, D; }6 p; \/ X5 }/ T+ t
5. She is a ho: }: m) y0 x0 d) w/ J$ I8 @. F
# g" p* d9 J( h2 d0 V; }
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:
: Z  h! O! \, p& u$ k" Z    They are (were) hos. ) w1 J5 y3 R8 J( P2 `
    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.) 2 n& }* Q! K% p9 E- j2 F8 i
7 }* W- X8 Z" r0 d$ S9 R
6. Catch you later!" [& ?; i3 R5 m) T

6 m6 a, Y+ R" S3 u7 E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)
% d% }4 l! ]: O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.
+ {: c1 h# G2 y2 ]1 l(我要走了,再谈吧!)
