1. It's cool.
3 A) J, {- f4 \
: g9 i" d. |' F0 N# lcool 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: / J% L( J& _9 ?' ?$ D0 t
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. $ X; P& O' R1 y2 O8 @" \
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)/ e0 i9 I$ ?) G. D: j% Y* P

. ~% v' y. l1 J, D, p3 E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: % c8 U- \- Y" ~$ m! d
    She (He) was cool in the past. 8 i- p! ^6 z* D& R% p
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) 7 r' Z" x( T" f8 A5 @. w" y
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
  Y" N/ \0 g- _
8 }' N4 J8 _1 h2 J4 \+ N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: ; x) N, c0 u% ?0 d$ s, S
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not 6 X* P8 ~3 @# D: [
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
6 p: v# ]4 |- u4 U# g* L# N    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
/ ^* [0 Z6 }- t- H  R 6 ^( A- E# H* d( v
2. Are you trippin'?! b, Z% H8 P( T, D
% }9 k5 A& j: I; ~
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' G& z! \8 n4 ?6 ~    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
) h+ g' Z3 c2 z" N" @& L) f- k# f    She (he) is trippin'. ' Y* y% j: m* X/ b: I
Mr. A must be trippin'. " ~- g4 ?% O/ f0 T0 K" F4 E6 }1 ^. a- {
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。
- t8 T0 f/ R7 C1 a0 ]8 ~, Q, |
6 ?  _: Y# v. x. o( ]; ]3. He is a nerd( M  a  |4 o) G% z" k( m5 z

9 ~/ z7 P" k0 `2 W6 n; cnerd 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:
6 H) w8 \. u+ j9 w    He used to be a nerd in high school
4 J. e: O0 c4 }. U8 g/ W6 b7 ~. [
# S  T* Q9 O2 L# Y, `6 n4. Yo baby+ B# d4 p! _$ u
5 |3 H# V" {, @. ]
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 ; H& m$ e! v, Z8 v. A
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:
/ f- x4 h# q0 m    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? ; a6 s# E4 s0 k
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:! z- x! `9 ]! {8 p) P/ Z
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. - F; e9 A# h6 U
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:
& ]. N- Q; R3 u  p; `, L4 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?)

5. She is a ho
& t) K; T: w2 S* }/ J4 B, h0 x' I/ O  \7 v
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:
6 {& N/ }0 Q/ s3 H, ~    They are (were) hos.
& M- h& Y7 U! j, k% i# b    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.)
! _) V, J/ D6 k; [# T' y# `- V+ w7 ~  t& l# l9 \
6. Catch you later!
+ x4 X( V' F1 P) N( W/ I/ Y0 W! J8 g; o5 O. `+ O) x
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)
$ a, K: F; b3 ~9 M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. 4 O6 q# G2 g2 e$ Z; e
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
