1. It's cool.1 _( ^/ c8 _! X% h0 s( o5 n/ K# V' {

- i& S' p6 k) ^! Vcool 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:
6 l. G# [2 n3 R5 _    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. 0 ^/ G' [3 K4 [$ `- U7 s5 K% W, `1 d
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
- J$ F# ^* ^1 x, y& j: S" E, t: k. w0 I; A4 s7 ~+ l1 f
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: ' j$ \3 ~1 N9 d: U1 Y  d
    She (He) was cool in the past. % R; H2 l# N0 F; p5 Q
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
$ ?# {) w, J( ~  i    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
: v3 U4 _3 b) [6 g6 L3 }( G
: k4 H! |$ n: \5 W5 j! X' l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:
- M9 M7 P, R) Y, |) e    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
% d) I( t! S2 a; ], F8 T3 h; y    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
0 a7 {$ K" B* O* Z% K* W1 H    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
) M) h3 B( r0 j& {! e
, f6 z9 {/ g/ I) M& y2. Are you trippin'?: N' y: B3 h- r6 y6 V9 l

1 Z) p7 |- o0 r) Xtrippin' 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:
0 r  t  o" {3 W: T- Z8 w0 V5 S    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
5 ^$ e  W2 \' f    She (he) is trippin'. 1 R; w1 ~# R3 |7 k8 e0 f1 v) o
Mr. A must be trippin'.
1 L3 Y$ @' e1 u3 U通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。

$ H( Q" W4 `0 \" y7 f6 U
6 C! S9 N) N" |: q6 ?: p" Xnerd 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: , M1 n& \. [) l, }. F3 q
    He used to be a nerd in high school

4. Yo baby" }0 ]2 B+ o1 e6 R6 [" d

7 b- [" |1 q% @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
5 _$ C/ C% D9 Zyo”,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: " L5 ^+ k" ]- B! }& I! n2 R$ I! P
    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?
* v9 j/ p8 _; r# k“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
+ S, T" s2 z* nMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. ( f9 L/ s% @: k0 W2 E  j2 [* \
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:
' e3 w& B5 y' ~! g4 m& e  M2 E    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?) 9 [. M( W2 B; n, F( Z3 D
* U- W9 u; ?$ F9 Y3 z* S# ]
5. She is a ho# c! @6 g. \% `( \2 _% ]
; h3 ^# J2 S2 f& B
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: # G4 I5 t2 }7 T5 c. z0 c5 |9 g
    They are (were) hos. " S; m& o. F) A& C: 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.) ) H2 ^% ?0 y: o+ v( O
6 \# ]/ D, V2 j; d6 c+ X% z
6. Catch you later!* R& V9 r, {. I  m, C5 A6 N- s" c
: |' {* M+ ~' y
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)
8 U' {+ }7 i7 C- t" m$ u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.
9 `1 J) g$ N9 L1 v. w+ a(我要走了,再谈吧!)
