1. It's cool.
1 [6 l9 b/ y+ E  `( _3 `. w0 g4 J$ H
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: " k, H5 R0 J! e$ h3 g7 f; m% t$ L
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. ) x4 H$ ?- `- l/ Q8 Y0 Z. d% o  O" z
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
& s6 j+ _+ i. W( ^  x4 k( x6 p- T
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: / ?; t; S" M4 E7 ]3 _- e2 F
    She (He) was cool in the past.
5 K' F( E' c& G- f- p/ Q    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
8 h6 r/ g4 L2 a/ G9 Z" _2 H    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) ' u3 C% {- H. U1 F: ~

; [' b! a, H$ L8 s0 A/ v6 l% T6 S% {1 w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:
# d% B+ K1 i' ^/ {, D7 w* v    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not   @) X% a; q3 P+ i
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 / K0 b: T2 T, }1 B
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) - D8 X# i9 A, v  @& I9 |

& M, r9 B* B* J' R6 J2. Are you trippin'?0 M7 l0 S' ^! W, s6 A" E
" Z9 K3 p! ?( C: }( S
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: 3 n9 d9 h6 c# w) ~2 p$ x7 J
    They are trippin'. (= tripping) " E4 J; m' k& F7 O& k
    She (he) is trippin'.
4 L7 E- [0 v9 k. y8 W% TMr. A must be trippin'.   \9 }9 v/ j( u" }+ t
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。, f- o3 r' n) I# d- f- e, C

3. He is a nerd
; h6 n. h0 d- W1 z3 O+ r4 H0 T4 h9 Q1 B) B0 H
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: " S0 {0 m% N, E
    He used to be a nerd in high school ( f7 @; p  p) r6 a; l+ J- ]. \

  H4 @+ j, c0 Y4. Yo baby
  {& p% m; o) k; K' n/ R) o
7 \9 U8 _4 t* yYo 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 - }) i+ l- f8 X% k" ]  X
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: 9 @* A# B- f7 z
    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?
: m* r( e5 |' ?2 t5 [* |; l“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
& F" a2 P: n' Y. FMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
# J% g5 o3 j8 I, |+ ?2 _0 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: 0 u) J3 T; K7 J- @
    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?) ; j3 q6 U! F: c1 K4 b' K! j$ s

9 E; }; I; X. ]" T6 n: S; y5. She is a ho
/ C, ]' D9 d+ w% d7 _, G
* B( _2 I/ @* E1 h6 }8 D+ Gho 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:
9 O# F( k4 J8 ]" m! j2 w, b    They are (were) hos.
9 ]6 C7 d, J& E9 C; _/ I9 ]  R    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.) 8 ^+ W' {" L& {# c- h7 ~
- R9 a6 }) g8 \) \+ N, S
6. Catch you later!8 q0 I; i" w( b; R& g
4 K# t0 D0 d8 }; H( @
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)
# P& W4 t6 F2 g+ Q0 G6 v: G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: ]  M) f2 C0 x* s(我要走了,再谈吧!)
