1. It's cool.) x0 s* o% M& F' _

5 d, }$ R$ X9 l, ~1 Zcool 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:
; w" N- P1 B" o& l    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. 6 T* e( |! v! v, I- [1 H
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
" ^5 r. P4 D* i, I- h# S7 |& d7 C' E( Y# s2 x8 A/ V
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:
2 F) \+ s' ~* J; p& m    She (He) was cool in the past. 7 x2 J& P3 n; Q
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) " W7 O/ L& V& F( _; o9 s- L7 S' ^7 r1 s
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)   ]3 a  z8 V4 C7 C* t: a( y

6 C) I( q8 u4 T" M, 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:
. B, E9 ^/ X2 v( I" r7 B6 f8 P    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not ; e! G7 h0 X' u- g
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
2 \2 J+ L+ M/ y$ i0 l  I    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) " s% e  A, @' X6 r1 D7 O1 M

2 I9 E9 g; U  Q- a' m* v* d1 \2. Are you trippin'?2 E1 E* I3 e/ D5 q" |6 |3 p4 j
; Q$ _2 f! B7 s: ]( _, j5 Z- g
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:
+ A1 U2 N6 ^/ l: q+ B    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
1 Y0 P2 u# w5 O5 V7 w) _, ~    She (he) is trippin'. ( C9 `7 E9 w: m2 \3 a8 Q: Z
Mr. A must be trippin'. 9 U6 c9 Q3 W& \( @
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。3 t2 _" m1 S( \; J: s9 y6 i
4 `1 I7 }- _. R% P6 H
3. He is a nerd
  p7 }( j" L" {- m( E# L
0 Q/ F: N. M7 w5 Q$ vnerd 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: % T% R2 r: e' }- e/ Y' h2 k) W4 {
    He used to be a nerd in high school
% z( ^" b8 {, g0 e; M2 }* Q. Q+ x' @- z6 @$ I. ]
4. Yo baby
  e+ h8 f! {6 m7 D" J  m. L  ~2 {; M$ o. @
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 * A, a8 X; d1 z5 J# n9 h
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: ! N9 o( \# H- r3 n- t7 N2 T
    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?
" ~  @" e+ k: w6 L% G“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:. B" M/ z4 c- ^0 c# `0 k
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. 6 l9 A( D, {7 U3 w2 y$ u9 X/ |% c
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: 2 g* H5 n4 g* c* x( `- H: c! ?
    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?)
* o' c+ [4 |5 o: M6 S3 `$ n) q& J$ h
5. She is a ho( x: W5 T* ?5 y9 z! C1 N; ]. ^7 }& z

5 s8 H5 A+ i$ g0 v5 yho 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:
: S% B3 G3 `- N$ t6 r    They are (were) hos. 1 b$ C1 \8 N/ D+ A' {
    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.)
# u3 J: F9 Y+ j/ s9 o1 h. p/ R7 m5 B6 P5 b; R3 x
6. Catch you later!
+ O) N2 F* Z' M" L. b3 w) l5 G! B$ @6 K% E, N+ @0 S
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)
* B& \* d7 {  {5 k6 o3 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.
( p1 A% `0 J2 |) ~1 }4 \9 C4 I( ^6 w(我要走了,再谈吧!)
