1. It's cool.( j2 u2 o7 ]4 L1 Y( M) [, ~- c
! G, ?% A% F' P2 n) V
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:
7 O4 c  @  ~5 u# I3 m$ L3 n* [6 J    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. ! s5 w* C: _) d+ ?' ?% O2 O
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
5 w: G: ?4 K* Z) |; ^+ S+ p
" m7 x$ H# R6 Y% c9 E" W- c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:
" A" B- q6 G4 x7 t    She (He) was cool in the past.
) d4 {7 f* W5 O, p, k    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
: B4 _. B- G  M' d1 B" w    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
* v- z3 b* L6 E/ w0 l- A' H, x3 ]' U" x0 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: : [3 Z6 _8 E0 `2 q- h5 x$ d
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
; _7 M: r" e9 O: u; L$ U    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
$ J( n- x& ?& E) N6 {    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
# a: H4 K( K5 |/ B% R" I
) b! W$ ~+ v) d$ r6 f' u2. Are you trippin'?
; S) t8 q! {6 z& s/ N
8 a9 `# S# m$ Q# ?2 strippin' 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: : F6 ~2 e5 I7 ?
    They are trippin'. (= tripping)
# H: A" a' Q0 J6 V    She (he) is trippin'.
5 f3 f/ k8 [7 w  O& j" y2 nMr. A must be trippin'.
; Q0 t& t3 W! \* T5 r0 F" L通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。# A- b6 N2 b6 G) c, P0 T# X, ^4 j
- e1 F- ?' r. T
3. He is a nerd
" `4 M' m  |# |) N
& `3 N3 B) H  `) B3 t5 h  [% 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:
8 H+ o! ?2 {0 \$ q( |    He used to be a nerd in high school
% E- v  U$ i$ M: Y* m
* x1 O/ a* W% ~. Q5 B0 i; ^" a, X4. Yo baby  s5 \& q) y% h# `: R/ T: G
$ I0 D5 |( }) k
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
8 F5 z; A, M3 P( _7 I( r; a( v: Q! [6 X/ iyo”,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: 4 J+ X8 |  T' M( R! T7 O- ]
    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?
& T* c, @* d  R9 w“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:1 i3 Z* L! ^# j0 [8 G5 c# u% [9 Y
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
$ Q' ^  y8 q$ h1 O- y( ^$ p4 V$ g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 @0 L! h+ Y5 i- N/ s, ^  x3 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?) 9 u" I, m' G4 x3 O

, b4 z! J: F# H- ~" N) e5. She is a ho
' g. S, s( t$ F5 |* t! D5 V+ h
; u- V  H( ]: B) N+ K  Y& l4 Jho 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: 4 {: w3 k6 {2 W+ ?; V4 H* _- m5 Y0 u
    They are (were) hos.
4 e1 w; g9 V7 G: d    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!
- s! Q/ n4 [8 B' Q
. o: L# V. b5 U% \1 u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 ~7 W/ d" `& L: R5 H" b, 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.
- J% ^& T! `$ ](我要走了,再谈吧!)
