1. It's cool.# r. l5 w, b) X7 k! M7 V' d% U8 P

" _% i$ w$ K/ _$ S3 u" fcool 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:
+ T" d, T6 T' r. y6 q# b% R    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. 8 T. {) w. B$ ]7 |+ D4 k5 }
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
# X6 q) c" C  G2 O6 X( `) {$ z" ?$ @- {2 L3 L. p0 b
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: ' W2 Z8 l! Y0 Z0 g+ D$ F: H7 F
    She (He) was cool in the past.
4 |) Z! ?1 |0 z# l9 x3 {( b5 J& q    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) 4 ~, Z- e6 \+ z) ]; u7 o9 g+ A
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
, G6 v) G# D0 I3 U5 r1 C% l
) B7 u' {# g) y+ L$ @" s' 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:
' d# }" r5 G' W. b$ B# A8 R    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
7 N4 \- h# d! d. T    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
6 A3 V. L6 Y" q; E& x/ M+ @+ z8 v6 e3 x    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
( F; X& V( `, U ) S5 E0 o2 h' k9 T
2. Are you trippin'?7 \( c" E. V$ V8 h) b4 W
& U( e7 }3 ]0 z3 S. X! {
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:
" k& m4 z7 l: L/ z/ V9 Z) U    They are trippin'. (= tripping) 5 [8 L- h# u  R7 L$ {
    She (he) is trippin'. , R$ v; D5 c: E2 r  k
Mr. A must be trippin'. & ~6 f, X* a6 H! Y! g
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。

3. He is a nerd. H5 Z* |* }2 n9 a

8 k( P  e: f  N/ A2 [. Vnerd 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: 1 J! V& a/ X. `& T9 r
    He used to be a nerd in high school

3 W( T( V( R. w' e& Z4. Yo baby
7 `2 Q1 ?: A  u, A5 m0 u) f
$ c7 @' e: R4 m4 A6 X: h" s3 dYo 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
( m/ e* g( C5 Wyo”,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: 2 z0 X3 ^, M" b8 e' u. R" |% S
    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? - A  u( f8 t& P+ R7 u+ G' j
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:: J1 |5 x" I2 {5 b4 m  `+ @
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. 7 X1 ?/ Q$ Q+ ^1 ]; o, t- n
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: & m4 K1 H$ d' q( d3 d# 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?)
6 S1 ?' ~  H, g6 D/ [' m  x, H8 M2 e: P: y. [7 H) r
5. She is a ho
4 w0 o! F7 l0 ~# d5 W" `( A. x; j3 i& r  m
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:
1 J' O* w% e, F' z! b7 g    They are (were) hos.
" ]3 q, f4 L' R    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.)

6. Catch you later!
4 m- S" O5 L, c4 |+ t0 ^5 E% @, P
  r: g/ _! b5 H8 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) 2 N% U  Z; }/ n+ ^! N7 G2 X; v
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 _4 G* L) a( T9 R9 R8 D
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
