1. It's cool.! U% m. G2 I( t$ `! X3 o% @9 |
4 w0 N# V+ H9 v
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:
/ a$ n  u% G& ]0 n& U( D    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. ! h3 a0 R$ i. E; T$ k3 G
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)+ ^+ R6 o# u" g6 H; J) v6 \- U
( f* s4 }$ P, `. c0 O/ R. 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: % T9 ~, E# w2 E2 j3 \& ~
    She (He) was cool in the past. ' ~2 q1 u8 Z- l0 Y
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)   L; T5 U8 S2 y
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) . K+ @. C2 ]: ?
1 [% d( j  ]9 \) M4 v
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:
# Y& M5 n# ^8 g/ X( _$ z2 w. d0 x    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
& K! U1 r3 A, x! B- W& W4 k, E! ?    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 1 b' p$ t5 j% j3 l4 a( S* d/ H% ~( }+ d2 @
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) 5 a( Q1 E7 p9 B

! h3 @$ a( l7 u+ Y% F2. Are you trippin'?( R, g) ?' D7 R+ ^. Q7 V' w7 `4 a
" z. {! T6 ~+ |
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:
6 _0 |& ^4 i9 @& Y0 k$ D# q    They are trippin'. (= tripping) * k8 l9 H( A# ?7 M
    She (he) is trippin'. + X" q& X( I( S
Mr. A must be trippin'. 2 V9 b$ @. N3 k+ e
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。
, T* c( s& _* b: U 2 k; D+ n0 [) ^1 q" I
3. He is a nerd8 z5 D& Z1 h6 G+ x
/ M' {; f0 `6 i0 ?
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:
0 _  @4 J% O, R7 l    He used to be a nerd in high school
6 C- C6 m5 p1 E) R: {9 g% l8 k
" X0 u2 l, Q& k4. Yo baby
6 d/ Q& W1 K) q- W0 T. S# s& |
' {; W2 h$ ~8 f% p! Z$ pYo 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
! V( |7 n" X+ W/ `/ F  {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:
1 J, J9 S3 t0 ~    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 h- x" b3 p4 s5 p& p  X“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:, d4 J4 u; P( L( T
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. 3 |- J9 R8 d9 g
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:
6 G4 c. a' M, [0 Y    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?) 7 s' v- H; @$ k9 t# s9 I/ `

  m, ^( W2 V8 {/ z2 G* J! Nho 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:
. w) e4 j& W- z4 O5 c1 p    They are (were) hos. : l5 K* i, l* _  z: [: g
    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.) 8 l1 b. r' A' K
& u' X- {% _8 X/ X! `) e4 t
6. Catch you later!3 p! @; p7 M8 w1 s- \

- _4 J( q7 O" _4 A8 I  o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) 7 k8 ^% h* g& d  L5 j0 P
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.
: y& |, ?. X7 t6 S+ G2 t+ a6 t(我要走了,再谈吧!)
