1. It's cool.% [) ?" N+ V, z: \, Y4 a7 w
. Z+ t, w  ^6 m7 o0 T: P$ Z
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: 1 C, {4 [0 ^1 N+ J5 e
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
8 G/ L; b& k% J; ]9 f2 @    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
& Q7 D" U. {+ @7 U& r  n9 r; M! H
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:
) z% Q( ]: l: z* S! K! e' B0 w( D    She (He) was cool in the past. 9 r) g: E$ R3 K! f8 P
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
8 O8 D! {( h; ]7 X: K: `# n    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) / V$ i# ~9 a. `# g' P$ U& F  y5 X' w

0 {1 J( q0 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: G) ~3 K$ {% d. ]+ Q' c    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not % K. f7 u9 \; C# ]7 m% W% {+ U1 N
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 # N' N! k9 n6 k# Y* I( M: p( o
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) 7 ~) ~. ?; {, l0 [6 n. M
, l  A) P* w# U4 e; i1 f7 r. @
2. Are you trippin'?6 B  m4 S. ~8 H/ h

9 e, h. S0 `7 \" Itrippin' 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: 4 C7 C! G& `6 @3 W# F1 W5 ~
    They are trippin'. (= tripping) 4 o, J+ n  C' J* C: f' I
    She (he) is trippin'.
! K9 I& t' u. x  m7 j  yMr. A must be trippin'.
7 f  s4 x) O- ]; q1 n: \通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。6 X$ i7 S5 |! H- F
/ K1 q7 Y7 I; X# f* o6 {$ M, @
3. He is a nerd, s$ b( Z# }5 J+ h+ L8 [( n5 A

* [! m5 H& Q' S4 M: r: D# U9 l/ Onerd 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: % e# p' P5 e* K$ \) G6 N
    He used to be a nerd in high school
  I' m! N! Z5 l! P, i: h) A2 c; \7 J8 q, `
4. Yo baby
+ M( j/ ]2 e6 v+ X5 x) J/ Y
4 v. `* y6 }; i& j+ V% p& x- c6 w9 NYo 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 6 Y' O0 k* ~! c
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:
. H% a7 ~) ]4 T1 h. E+ Z    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? 0 r, L: y- t, }# v
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
( M# G" T! ^9 U9 w* uMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. % h3 ?. n& ?2 j" P
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: 0 Y* R2 G, e* R; V& p* m
    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?)
' }- f' n+ D- ]+ P( D$ O
7 O- F* v; }! G5. She is a ho
: g& J2 B" @$ A5 r# A. B! E" Y, t2 A3 }- }/ h# T( {3 F
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 r! Q$ H! T& _- g8 f1 r, N
    They are (were) hos. 7 H6 l& Y  J/ N3 Z7 |% M8 M
    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.) + m# R0 Y6 D: z
1 k& M# p) _9 q! ^% A
6. Catch you later!! [. Z4 a0 t4 \' [: g( J. |! W

/ ]  [2 J+ t" p' f9 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) 8 X1 x$ ~/ Q1 p" }( c; C0 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.
, o  q* d. W' _% c: ?7 c: {8 j4 J(我要走了,再谈吧!)
