1. It's cool.
3 E1 t* a3 D: ~. |7 e" a
! o/ K# {/ @: N9 k9 ?) P0 Q9 ycool 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: 8 L8 M0 J7 {1 p
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. 3 F7 E% E* d9 k7 @7 I3 Z8 z
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)8 w/ M& C9 |, z, M9 t  u

" R9 g8 s: K& R/ I4 U* ~3 \" F9 @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: , c" k9 Y: ?7 q% }% ]4 G) x7 P
    She (He) was cool in the past.
% Q2 K: ]9 V) Q- N( K4 {  o7 p+ Z9 [    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
5 _1 c7 J) S9 T( D    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) # l4 G) x+ Q& V: K$ T

8 O: m0 i; O: S/ q6 F( J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:
% Y3 }. N; G2 J! S    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not 4 N8 H! Y# I$ E8 Q4 G9 ]. R* _; _
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
; D  W# `% h) @, F    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
3 U% l' t; z2 T8 n& \7 z
: Q- p0 Z" F. |2. Are you trippin'?4 ~& d0 Q+ H; Q4 g
5 N" Z" g) q6 e" D
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:
: i* N( Y- W% c) [    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
) N$ B; O9 z7 r* d5 b    She (he) is trippin'.
3 Y* _; b  y7 |2 S. y  IMr. A must be trippin'.

8 A* L# K( J. b: S/ V3. He is a nerd4 U+ `) _* ]  B7 i: Q
: @# i- L0 ^1 m
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:
7 [3 j4 b% D) G6 p; `( Z8 q8 E    He used to be a nerd in high school

) I3 r: t( O, Q# i" O1 E4 L4. Yo baby
; h  d0 B9 @5 ?* _$ @& \7 G; s' o, F: }6 r! t" f
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
3 I+ L  {$ j1 g$ Y( a9 Byo”,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: / |* u) |7 M1 h: ?; [: f' 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?
9 m- l$ Y7 b0 F9 _, k“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:& y3 n5 P2 x3 S% v  U+ r
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. 7 {8 i  j. D" y" ^6 z( e( @. F8 V4 t
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: 7 G0 C3 b; z% R+ a/ S# [' Y2 S
    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?) " J8 I. k6 K( E# ^" D( c3 G: Z

1 m* n+ Q/ X$ {5. She is a ho
# x; w6 ^8 F  U+ T0 l0 B0 f* \* \7 _/ a6 L- W( l
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: ) x9 P. e6 S! y. y. Y2 ^/ J
    They are (were) hos.
% R8 h% x: ?1 ~! F  M% @" }6 K    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.) * ^# ?7 {$ b) n- U8 F6 t6 p, n

' H8 ]4 i2 m7 t# d& G6. Catch you later!( n) m7 ]. `3 ?

* M+ D4 X# |' s! h9 b  z6 G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)
7 Z' F! z0 R( }" R. C% o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.
% v+ U$ i$ I1 z9 C# L( Y(我要走了,再谈吧!)
