1. It's cool.
4 e9 u! m* d. b2 W% L: d4 u3 Y
1 ]6 y: ^0 d9 `. vcool 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: ! J9 ~7 B4 v# T
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. 7 _* ^# |3 H: C) J) W! \) j! M
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错): @; O$ _' X4 k: v6 C( N
! x  E( q* _4 U, K; M1 l( w
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: " h( r4 \$ V; n% x% n  D; j# l. f
    She (He) was cool in the past.
5 R8 H  w" d+ \( z, M* C1 r7 E    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) # r: Y+ B2 h( s
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
# B$ d) t3 x/ E* O( h$ ^  i
, k, `  P% z- F/ S% l* h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: * }! z6 u3 |; q* Q4 N, m
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not 5 Y; k/ s7 t. G
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
! g$ W; R2 {* b. p1 T0 R! F; L    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) % `7 [  w( U$ J6 ^* T
/ J5 Q% ?3 A: w# x
2. Are you trippin'?
  b& T/ W3 U2 ~# L( V# g# m& ~, Z7 Q3 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: : k0 g- N) n! k- E
    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
$ \8 e: ^5 M7 D' p    She (he) is trippin'. + p5 G; H7 j4 e5 e. p- v2 E( G+ e$ M
Mr. A must be trippin'.
9 z2 g$ p6 A- v" N通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。

3. He is a nerd7 K" e  `4 B! E  w* Q( q
; q+ {- F' I- K5 z
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: + s; X7 }1 ?0 y
    He used to be a nerd in high school

4. Yo baby
% o* d  |, J3 D9 F6 K" w* B* e0 F. D7 H: _: S# B: N
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 $ p3 |" |. B0 ?8 ~. u
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:
/ {4 |: m# ?3 [8 k- T' X) `2 {    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?
8 C4 \% }( P* u  f0 I+ N$ _# i. s7 `9 i“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:& x" e' h# g* g: f! n- g
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
1 x2 ^9 N9 f9 [6 ^* y. B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:
# Z' @" `1 |8 z3 x    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
- ~  i( `" I4 T& w: q# z% z2 x' D7 S& {0 Q2 F$ t
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:
5 y" r; S- _/ }2 t7 ?    They are (were) hos.
: l' n7 L. R: 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.) 9 @/ j- p# V9 x$ V

1 ~& J3 V2 n  D5 m8 G2 o( [! {8 y6. Catch you later!
: K5 t( `" k5 F+ F8 r
0 ^$ g) E% k2 O) K9 M6 D# O  W3 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 u+ g$ w$ F) l& ~0 U0 [
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.
' O% G+ B- ?8 a% s% N(我要走了,再谈吧!)
