1. It's cool.; i7 D4 q; {: n+ M$ A9 {# _

- \$ j1 h3 Q, n$ p( tcool 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:
# i$ {) A  J. Y! K5 a8 c& Q5 v0 R    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. - r8 K! p7 c( S1 _
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
- U) q% |2 Q* H8 \- c$ O* D* u2 a; ^  J, ^2 t0 \: `
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:
1 `( {/ {! {, b2 {% R  v    She (He) was cool in the past.
- X, Y! ~7 b7 \7 U    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
8 w4 g/ x) Z+ P' V    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) " g  ~% G+ W5 p* m

# W! S# i. {% @; ]1 X& J5 ~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: 6 b3 `) ]: e, p/ r5 ~
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
& R: {( n0 u* k) \    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 " c: R; v5 w- [7 R0 d* H
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
# s, N9 x/ C2 d ) X' ~" R  K, q' m
2. Are you trippin'?9 G& B( `/ N  U5 z% ~/ {3 k# x, Z
4 @$ Y( T" B" v$ L. 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: ! d, I: M, q% _, W1 W' T
    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
& W# @6 R" O* t5 X9 C; n    She (he) is trippin'. 5 u  D# C9 Y$ q6 z& A" d
Mr. A must be trippin'. 7 F, O- Z& q3 u/ T- G! h) s- v
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。

3. He is a nerd
, z! w  v( A# H+ ~& W
# x& T, R9 m& U! J/ Snerd 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:
9 y$ J3 t& o, P: \9 ~    He used to be a nerd in high school
7 \, _" a; t" P
% h% K3 q7 E) _7 q  H4. Yo baby
9 r! N6 C+ s) O# y. w. b' I5 M
" Q  R3 k6 g" s  G2 o/ iYo 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  K& C1 M" h- [$ @4 R& o1 k( 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: 2 @  z7 t% l. W
    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?
# u# c* s* T* n# h+ [! g“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
. j6 I5 ^1 y4 M, A* GMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. 9 Q& U: I4 R5 h
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:
+ I5 U! J( `/ I' `- E- e3 [    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?) 2 v7 x0 p) L' Q( k: q1 J

  @9 y& i0 r7 h3 y5 E" H. D5. She is a ho
0 a9 @( F! k5 T8 p8 i/ B0 a
$ R$ u# i% w2 j# M- D3 Oho 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: 5 L" C: C1 k/ p% d: ?
    They are (were) hos. / V8 K3 f: c2 ^7 s1 E
    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.)
( f. n3 [- m3 `: D; m. ?! r% r! t4 T& z, n$ @( [
6. Catch you later!
% |/ S9 t6 C1 Z3 @5 k4 w1 a" w; a5 Z. j8 ~- O* \
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) % g- Z7 \- `- Q  v4 `% |- l
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.
# p3 Z8 J- f& }(我要走了,再谈吧!)
