1. It's cool.
+ r0 P# `2 T$ y  M. G. G5 f# x
# d, p3 b. A/ m+ `- y8 [* J- bcool 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: 2 K5 H  N9 P% V/ B; i% j
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
; E  u& |4 Z% q- l: d$ v4 P  I    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
! I4 [# t1 ?, |0 z
* f3 x: H3 D  q% z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: ; ?) t8 a$ C9 W8 n* Q: O. p
    She (He) was cool in the past. ( G4 _/ r  V: Z  T( ~
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) : S# Y/ {# J  E6 S- u% h* ~" s& n
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
3 }3 e0 R; w3 L% c/ |& H' l/ x( s( y5 V( 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:
9 I: y; d7 D' o+ j% t/ t2 c1 |% _% B& |    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not ; _9 ?% v" O' V: q! b* j
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
' ~! m+ ~* V3 R4 f0 D, ~    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) 2 Y: Q. K& X! c9 u. Y4 ~
. c' p2 N2 b: }, k
2. Are you trippin'?
5 o9 B8 O% q8 f: }7 w1 w5 E, d# n. s3 c# Z, m: R
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:
, ~$ L* X0 i; Q! l4 P( I8 l2 d    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
: O- ]1 S- y$ r' a; O7 M; L8 o    She (he) is trippin'. 9 ~4 c+ p& L- v8 c% v: G, @$ g1 X
Mr. A must be trippin'. ; T: `5 R7 w- Y7 l
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。
  d0 ?! I. e) v: L# |
/ i/ k( E  L+ W% p, j3. He is a nerd
9 X$ I3 K5 R) E
/ ]3 O( H  `, e. n0 W1 j1 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:
8 |1 t4 C% u) |! H0 o8 ]5 k* J    He used to be a nerd in high school $ N& N' |& x' M6 i( @! c: \; f

3 |) q+ i4 s, e! B$ z4. Yo baby
) Y9 a' P5 J' S  G/ I- D( ^0 ]% ]# z$ f8 K/ {9 H, {$ t
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
1 V) y4 V# b  w, O+ f; T2 `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:
8 O1 c* Z! O2 t" S8 g    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?
  A/ n! ^/ H& M- k“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:! g9 k2 j$ [( {3 R* |5 z7 {! j
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
3 R" p( |# b+ `0 L( V- m& s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:
* `! w& R# f( B; ~    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?)
- J2 ~4 i4 W6 u% W! Z! P8 B/ M2 S2 E  H( Y
5. She is a ho
' N8 A" s' [, e* }- L- N# D4 g1 W! y' J
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:
( |, B8 o) F5 F    They are (were) hos.
# y& T: H, Y3 B$ P4 ~- M2 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.)
5 [! |- W6 [: {# Z. [0 A; [* I9 v( D) H) F* [* H
6. Catch you later!
# D0 C, T  p' D: z2 s
/ R8 Q8 V" @5 V/ j5 k+ W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)
! S: Q: c" Y0 _8 a* l8 y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.
. c( l: ~6 W4 S! k6 O$ r(我要走了,再谈吧!)
