1. It's cool.0 I# V8 V+ U+ v$ h" T$ L4 J
- c5 ?# b6 t+ b, \/ n  v3 N5 y! u
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: 5 Z& N8 m9 A0 I  p$ s
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
  {, J) X% N1 d7 o! v! F, ?5 e7 h0 u9 R    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
( r/ d, G4 L0 ?7 u1 z- I- q7 x$ `* a8 b& Y9 I
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: ( g% v" d9 N& u: I+ q0 Y
    She (He) was cool in the past. 2 e6 e, V% A: T! n9 g2 }
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
; Q0 H; o) G4 y) A' W# a9 _( ^5 z    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) 8 u7 ]! L) q, G2 G

7 o2 v; `% e: i' n. Z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:
; Q* p7 {5 d" ?& \    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
7 p8 a7 t1 i2 R  X( g; w/ n    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 1 ^+ l+ Q/ l) P  `. _2 x
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) . B& [  t) F; n/ m1 Q
3 _6 L+ h0 y- N5 r: L, u! ]
2. Are you trippin'?6 V/ M% k$ o) N8 }7 r. s5 |
0 G5 o. @8 P" u' V
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:
. _7 [7 R3 b& z, D! N2 ?6 `    They are trippin'. (= tripping) : W5 Z! c& G# c1 w
    She (he) is trippin'.
# h8 a3 m- w+ a- V5 ?1 |Mr. A must be trippin'.
5 R8 [5 T" z' Q. t2 ]通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。6 w/ a/ n% ^1 @1 ~

3. He is a nerd  n) [8 [  m% L" a8 ^: G2 }
9 k+ [! _, Z% k* Z6 D% s
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: % \+ H8 E% Y; O- R
    He used to be a nerd in high school / H$ q# w3 k9 m+ N- R& Q- f
" H, F; Z. ?" W+ x8 f' @! E0 M
4. Yo baby
+ e- X2 k; B& o" C$ f1 n% }
4 s2 G- ~0 y2 S, ?* f' i9 N1 R4 CYo 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 2 _/ ~, g. J; \
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: - L4 j. d' e4 f- R& g; M' D9 C
    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?
7 E: }! H, w! W; \2 i“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:% |9 R+ Y" T, J  z1 n. l3 r
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. 1 |% Q6 Q/ D! b5 r. [: S/ R
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:
1 {: y! I& e  B3 a7 V# h    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?)
1 V% ?$ m: Z7 {; @4 f/ p4 s. ~: [/ k- g2 k' b
5. She is a ho" w, H, a( b: J  i

0 @- X* z( K  `6 {+ J% n8 `! \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:
3 }/ N/ c* K) Q. L2 z& p: T    They are (were) hos.
$ ]8 d! _: N( w4 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.)
* [2 t8 y; r9 i$ Y/ F$ ?3 }/ Z2 Z! O3 j1 ^
6. Catch you later!7 F5 S5 R; n; o/ r( N! i. z8 d
; X1 G0 g; ^8 [( S+ s  r
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)
8 J5 {( d  D! r4 L- T  h! @% r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. 1 y2 h* R, \4 y4 g
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
