1. It's cool.3 ~5 I+ V5 x6 H2 u( H

6 G1 j9 X1 g3 V0 `& H& A: ucool 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:
( y9 a: q" e! y, u8 B    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. . N4 [4 M) I9 C. ^' F
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)1 d- L5 z: z2 W6 u* n* Y

. A$ p% h+ r  G8 p( \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: 3 k: s, Z- {- A3 n1 u# u- z" }/ s
    She (He) was cool in the past.   S2 r) p  o, @% e) L* i/ w
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
' R( u; w0 b; f' @: e  T& L' Y    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
# U3 S! u$ ]1 W* K$ f; N0 j3 t6 b% e& o- ^, ]
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  t/ b9 j' t( ^* i" D& }6 i    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
+ o1 Y8 n; @1 n2 G) g. o) Q, m/ Y    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 8 M1 A$ h# Z% t, R3 d5 Z
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
* W+ N/ g: n! h, B8 x: ^
% n+ d4 d; n! Q8 R) d2. Are you trippin'?
" K. q7 X1 |. T2 E4 j/ E) N1 q$ p: G3 B0 \$ w5 w
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: ) }. i+ c- }4 T  w
    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
# R$ P! W% `+ F% L    She (he) is trippin'. $ Z3 T: \( D7 _, j" T
Mr. A must be trippin'.
6 q3 N4 ]( Y/ E% m/ |1 s- x通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。

3. He is a nerd8 I9 n$ B% d$ ?- b6 T0 x8 U- n" C8 I* e
& L: v& k$ a3 `9 }) B
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:
% B0 X" H! }4 ?) Z4 C; G    He used to be a nerd in high school
( u- o6 U/ k% ~, h6 C6 x  @0 d; s/ k
6 W; S, @3 Q2 a2 v& C- r4. Yo baby: }+ S2 L& j  Z* ]( J" `
' ?7 v3 s( k: l2 f8 L7 e
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
# M/ O$ b; Q$ Y4 l6 s$ hyo”,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: 6 {) ^, k$ O* F6 v1 g5 W
    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?
/ E3 R6 M' M0 y# o( R# _“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
4 F- |1 D  n+ y' DMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. : G! R: b# ~5 _# y# B8 `* M! 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: ( a8 ]  m% [8 b9 a: X/ m  U3 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?)

5. She is a ho
8 l9 B* J7 I; o: k9 a
; y5 J$ b: k- \5 C. ~5 Dho 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: # r; `' i/ n: u* v/ u# Y% @
    They are (were) hos.
- r8 n: Z+ h% u3 P1 _2 I5 E    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.) ' P0 A. f' i$ {- Z' A1 v5 z
8 q% M- |2 r2 s# s/ c
6. Catch you later!
" a; v1 A& H6 S3 W, P, R6 h) J
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) % R: a# }% y* q* t! b
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.
( R! i2 d0 _) d! f! Y7 _! }/ `(我要走了,再谈吧!)
