1. It's cool.
6 I) s+ ?' C# V; n& W: M# c- A, r' {& `* R
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: . V" R+ k/ |8 \6 Z
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. 1 T) @, o" n8 q8 d/ v
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
+ ?' N/ J, }% Y5 u8 V/ \& M5 n9 n/ U' `: ?
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:
; v- Y+ v6 `. Y2 P- J    She (He) was cool in the past.
* _$ M: A4 @; E7 b1 V' k( k% J    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
# ]- Q0 ~- L+ v2 x4 m: o& P    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
* v- T" M% t$ w* q- N; I9 u2 r$ ]! q9 ~+ k: l) R
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: ' L5 b" F$ S: V) A
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
# ^, }2 s6 l! x& l# v    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 & D7 K- x+ W3 C
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
. N. e# T1 [. ?4 g9 X
2 T. s" o, o1 j* E& }6 c2. Are you trippin'?
+ ~  O5 P/ `. F7 F9 _  Q! z: m1 c
1 a7 @+ ]/ [0 w5 b# Strippin' 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: ! S/ c7 I5 p1 R  }
    They are trippin'. (= tripping) : j+ ~. D1 D& W9 d9 e( K6 `
    She (he) is trippin'.
0 r- p8 H: _- ^& P5 yMr. A must be trippin'.
5 O. B7 W% Y+ r7 P5 Y. m通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。# G9 ~, \. E8 E7 y) U9 T. P

  \0 R1 u" x+ `9 t" ]3. He is a nerd
  K; H) G: v. S6 m! ]4 z$ h7 }" {0 I9 d4 l/ h2 |5 K  X$ |' R
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:
( O& {- s/ f; K' w    He used to be a nerd in high school
3 M# p5 Q- C) Q0 s! a" ]3 D
. W4 s* \6 H; d# |% c' g$ D4. Yo baby
" d* U0 d% W% e3 V% j7 E# {) q" |9 i1 ~. v( T8 a$ _, u
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 0 c/ B9 I  D  ]- C8 ^7 \
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: . C* b8 g9 b$ s& 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? ( F  ^+ @4 F% F$ [2 p
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:; J% W5 H3 q/ x$ A
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. 7 I& @! Z; t* c. e8 \
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:
  u- R7 y% R- I    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?) ; F- K: ^6 c2 S& q* S# a% D

8 Q: k/ y% A/ \. T/ x1 J5. She is a ho
* h; u5 s0 G; e$ p' g* E# ?; S6 k5 w  O) V( B0 m0 |
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: " h' y+ h4 y, Q* d$ p, C
    They are (were) hos.
' h! a! a. R4 ]5 t6 e3 L    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 Q/ r( a' C* |; C8 f" [6 \8 \6 W' H; @
+ |( {) C" R% k  [7 r1 K6. Catch you later!  \4 j0 o) q4 J8 B. S
9 q; D, M# @- ]! I  b) k. A8 k9 X
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) $ J7 c* R# E1 l8 X" v: X, u8 k
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.
3 j: p( G) ^. n5 E7 m9 L# ^5 a(我要走了,再谈吧!)
