1. It's cool.
7 K# d% a2 Y' a( B6 }" g  [
! }/ ~2 P# q  u6 S/ vcool 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: 3 W4 u" d' ~3 `
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. 6 O; B% Y' c9 z) V% l9 o& m& y
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
) \; ?& T6 o# h
* H$ b& f5 Y4 k: F) x6 Y. o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:
+ d  P' _  I4 r7 e    She (He) was cool in the past. 3 J  x5 G2 v$ M6 m) H2 Z% e( o
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
  G; Q+ D$ l! K% U. A/ G6 h. A: e3 S    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) 5 ~4 S8 z$ e1 s0 E

# C, K8 y1 [' h3 t6 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:
1 \8 }8 v# a8 C5 a2 v    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not ! f2 Y5 }+ u; [: l: b  G. J' {
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
8 S4 z3 P* z& Q- L( m    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
0 U/ X# o+ R; ^  p! K" M, S+ p $ `& i! T. P* ^" N$ V
2. Are you trippin'?0 W% S  W, u+ A" g/ m4 Q; Y. O4 X
7 ]# w8 {) E: y. j% w4 f
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: ( r# t5 q& Z0 t4 @% N4 U- h1 N
    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
* F/ p* H4 R1 K3 P. r    She (he) is trippin'. 5 u# ~$ L, r( W8 k8 u# a2 w% f
Mr. A must be trippin'.
5 {9 {6 Y% I4 V通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。# `7 m. f, b+ ~9 z% @( g

' y% T" ^7 p) [( O) F6 ~6 C; D3. He is a nerd
/ q6 w: B$ |; `1 F4 Z: x$ ?1 F+ t. y3 y. ?* T9 K2 D
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: - k2 h" p$ r& U8 R
    He used to be a nerd in high school 2 n: m! I8 g2 }+ I8 ~; O

  L; v; [' t9 ?6 \3 E" g4. Yo baby: y: i# i7 o- _. U5 C

4 J6 F$ N! c; \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 ' Z7 ^* _  @  T$ O4 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:
$ g, @$ f: T# W+ s: v    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? ' r' o  l1 c! D% r
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
. ?0 U' b, H5 f# J  p! R. g* |$ A. }May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
: V9 X$ t/ l" h" L4 @6 @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:
4 J3 v/ s0 D0 J$ g9 }( o0 {    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?)
& D& J# y6 C. ]. ]+ Z* k: I. f; K$ g6 w
5. She is a ho) Z# X5 d  _" F% w

: z0 x3 \5 g9 @- a2 ]+ P* ?% x& 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: ( c9 o6 }, @, S& W5 i, P# T& b0 y
    They are (were) hos. : I1 y0 k7 B! s+ H% M3 @6 L) L
    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.)

6. Catch you later!2 N  w" I2 K& }

) E" u) T3 g1 x! ~/ t' M( [1 E0 M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)
& M& g+ g! o# m9 t' n; m7 g! v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. + I6 s- F) b( U  X* X
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
