1. It's cool.
2 l8 V  \: x! y% j& {3 R5 b0 N8 ?% R& o
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:   _! \) b+ F8 T3 q! y6 R
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
% A9 I% z- P4 T! ?6 g/ v$ M    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
% M/ B: E1 d/ i; x6 x3 `! d. T+ g7 P  U0 k( 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: ; S7 z) w% L* I/ R
    She (He) was cool in the past. 5 k' m! `: N" X0 n$ |$ |- p8 w
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
: H' }7 T5 x: a  M7 [3 T- a  L1 C" n    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
# A. C6 A! a* t5 p$ t6 u+ L7 C5 V! ?3 k/ h" \+ a6 f! a1 l, P$ V% u
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:
# u. F+ D# w. X. z    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
7 C' _  k9 o. I: N1 w9 y9 u& I' D    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 ( M7 Z- |( e) K  W. V% Y
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
* \0 e1 j& @- }1 W ) C2 ]. P2 m( M
2. Are you trippin'?* Y9 u! j5 T% Z) o
3 s- w  |/ r& R! }9 m6 n. v; g" @
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: , T# L9 v" @# u( T/ C' W' Y& h/ e
    They are trippin'. (= tripping) 0 i/ _1 V! j- F, |* ~5 |
    She (he) is trippin'.
6 o! I$ ?3 t& x/ g5 a5 q& YMr. A must be trippin'. 3 Y! e2 Q3 q4 \, p3 {
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。7 }1 j2 P5 ]1 ]) {

3. He is a nerd
  x# b1 i4 u# p3 l* i# L; E# x, {9 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:
: x! @; O6 ^! C$ a& `0 Q' j    He used to be a nerd in high school ; q) H; Z. @, G2 _& X% T
. q" Q! M& z0 F+ p: [
4. Yo baby7 P! d$ E! t% {! {; t+ H

! t1 Q2 h; d. s; M( r% p2 p8 Q5 h2 OYo 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
1 z3 S- q, {- x: ayo”,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:
8 `+ D; P. H7 ^7 G    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? & Y6 T! h/ ~5 `, l# E4 s
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
7 \6 u8 s$ @, U) F6 lMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
$ Z' \. M% a0 e: Z% @  I4 M' _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: / R- Y% H0 R% e& W4 O
    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
7 P% ^( \4 x: b7 y5 s6 i2 A
# f/ U' i6 T3 ~# @1 aho 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: ! U. {' t: g/ q. P0 N
    They are (were) hos.
" N7 Y  @( @' _/ S) O    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.) 1 X4 ]- L; W' C' H3 ^, n/ w% q

% l: \2 q3 W8 C$ @, M8 _0 f6. Catch you later!
8 f! p# [9 C) F8 a
: p# T+ B) b$ t* A; 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) & C; r# x1 r5 B2 W, F7 u& w+ O5 w
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 i. F# |7 k7 P9 `; B+ P4 ^5 i) T* }1 s(我要走了,再谈吧!)
