1. It's cool.
  K/ u. k. ~' u2 t: r3 Z: `
& a1 N' o! ~6 k; \4 o1 o6 _) Mcool 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:
$ F# ~+ Q/ ~- x' M! o6 ?/ E    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
$ ?7 R/ w: |& V$ t& H+ \    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)+ @! w. \. w: Z' V$ B
' W" g  n- W; B. ]0 j' A
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: . A8 G9 N% {3 U2 E$ c) G
    She (He) was cool in the past.
4 d( G" A; M6 e5 z) ~    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
; B8 [( n2 L' c5 M, s/ d    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) # N% e9 i) z  _& A  w. R/ p
! _$ A- K4 q% u
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:
5 Y0 w: R) s- P$ t+ t+ {- U4 p" S    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not 2 i* w$ ~7 }( d: S0 V6 [
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
- n3 i0 [4 U+ G9 p3 ^/ X! ~8 W3 ]. ]    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
. d9 v# H4 O, i; E) Y% s% k
3 \3 M1 X' ^9 z/ B2. Are you trippin'?. Y$ t; F! O2 v) ?( x$ y
# y% U+ J1 `8 C* P! \( }# u  E
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: 2 q: a5 q; `+ t$ V1 D: g1 `
    They are trippin'. (= tripping) # t5 O2 D0 b4 d- u
    She (he) is trippin'. 6 g) `/ s& b6 s! p
Mr. A must be trippin'.
0 ~3 M5 X, Z1 J* b" S0 m* I通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。
+ H$ h2 {7 q5 }' _; e5 M! c; o0 }
  A7 C! |7 M. O3. He is a nerd6 Q  @8 H, [. W  u* n8 I5 D. U

; R1 m- t9 {5 O5 ]+ ]( c9 W5 Ynerd 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: 7 i5 Y% v9 U/ a8 r2 N# ~" o
    He used to be a nerd in high school 7 h+ m3 X. ^0 J  @7 @

0 R. r7 z! l: E$ M4. Yo baby
/ I% a" A1 Z5 E, ?' S# C
5 e' W4 X. s6 w8 i' V4 GYo 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
7 F9 Q& Y# l: E6 J! u2 f% f) Zyo”,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: : r1 Q  u! O" u& F1 b5 P1 Z9 E
    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?   p  I" U! A; i! ^8 r
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
8 y4 u+ f6 _( t0 yMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. ; O/ J9 ^$ M2 Q
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 t  T* W/ I$ m9 F: [  z    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?)
( J+ C) p# H. D* g" v% N0 r

; ^- ^3 x* d. t; {  J4 J- M- |& b% \
4 k/ d: F3 T7 ]2 U8 s1 Jho 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: ' N" `' b1 V0 e. F( p9 @* f
    They are (were) hos. 3 t1 G, J7 t& t9 M6 ~8 J
    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.) ; T% Y: g9 h0 H8 Q( c

( t, c9 _; k1 D6. Catch you later!
% g9 R1 `) P+ r; ~2 N9 Q; F! g. G* o9 G
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) 3 Q+ ?7 |. n, g5 X
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. 8 R/ Z6 p3 a' z- _6 d: T
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
