1. It's cool.& J( A6 J$ w6 a; [' E
, J/ E) S' ]0 K# G8 P; ^8 k
cool 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" S; W0 y! i8 w7 K- [: u
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. 0 [  d! J' O6 X3 W  u( W: Q
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
0 F8 Y( c! x  d3 X
0 u0 f3 A7 R9 A2 t) ~* V6 W$ e7 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: : L- s% H0 Y0 u  ^, A+ ]0 P
    She (He) was cool in the past. , j: C- l3 V* x9 G0 q
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)   e, s+ E4 i! |& g
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
1 E# |7 T4 \" j* L' v* U! ]6 {" w! v0 _: g
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:
2 ]& g* {. q+ l' z* s2 E    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not # b- E% \, L7 n4 ~. p2 M! }
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
" m5 @7 R+ w: W& k) a4 {+ c$ L4 G3 B    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
& @; L" \: Z/ p, q, ~: } ) ~  z7 Q0 e0 W" f
2. Are you trippin'?
$ m8 P; B1 t  [9 m7 c3 S* Q0 a# }( e! G0 v
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:
4 l# v0 h. o9 }  x) @    They are trippin'. (= tripping) ; ?! b; R% f& }5 K  w
    She (he) is trippin'. " A8 i1 t/ l. [2 ~) T
Mr. A must be trippin'.
0 i  T) u+ o, |) \通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。5 A. Z/ j, m6 a

4 }! I3 K! o; V6 w$ Q3. He is a nerd
0 n/ G! S2 |$ E; f4 P- B4 `' e3 v9 O* Z2 }+ D$ P; E) 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: * a' C3 K* ^. o) Q% t  u( x
    He used to be a nerd in high school 4 Q3 I$ T. M( R4 T% c

6 T& r- q0 K' O+ k4. Yo baby
* F2 e+ |- Q( t3 M3 s% m
1 L& Z8 R" G( T. K1 R/ ~+ Q3 q/ OYo 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 9 V% b8 y( E) f7 ^; Z
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:
+ q& \% l$ \$ V+ G- x1 Y    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?
3 o# O2 n+ o% l2 @2 }  F* t“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
9 @% @0 d+ C- vMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. ' d0 I0 R  x$ h3 ?% D/ 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:
" d: w6 ~" ]2 `2 u    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?) # f) _0 g, Y; h. K/ U6 W2 b

& F! o9 Q9 [8 K2 m; u' P& n5. She is a ho, q+ j. }6 x/ J( G" \& ^

" B2 [% C' J7 j/ `1 |2 @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:
" x2 W% Q5 r! I) }% B( S9 O. j    They are (were) hos.   I4 K) `* G' S0 n" `# |
    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!- D  K: W. P; R; q* ~. V7 k
# \8 F2 ~, a8 A0 Q" g9 ]3 c
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)
5 ~3 L8 V3 h+ }" q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.
' Q) k; i5 j8 x+ m+ S(我要走了,再谈吧!)
