1. It's cool.1 J& ^8 ^! m0 J) Z0 Z5 ?
! J) T8 Y1 T9 ^, N* w% 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:
' O. n5 q6 A( o6 w; ?    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool. % y* X5 i+ N- q4 Y2 E0 z3 R( d. ^
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
2 e# a9 `( m9 W8 r9 L" K
% z3 d; E; j2 o3 L( {7 F, 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:
4 `/ W" Q0 W" J$ r    She (He) was cool in the past. 3 }  r( e" M7 Y4 B  F5 p% I
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
" ]- f2 o+ f2 f! B. @    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
: `5 f/ q/ Y" y# d( }/ |" ?* u/ T
& k8 R  _7 l8 m( \2 S2 `1 y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:
- T, f- L2 [  H    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
6 {3 w& _: _" K/ }4 [9 ?. Z' O, T    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 & z, t7 F( E1 x6 X1 s
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) . U7 \+ o1 [: I/ ], S" w8 X+ t

9 v" }1 ?9 @9 E5 G' V) Y! S2. Are you trippin'?4 C1 y. \2 X' l6 @6 ?) p/ Z
+ ~* E/ F: Q, o+ t: N& ^
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: 8 n. T: t, |" Q, K+ B  e
    They are trippin'. (= tripping) ' t! L7 k4 f0 U! B( L
    She (he) is trippin'. " X6 C) d# F6 l! ]5 t
Mr. A must be trippin'.
; Y1 _/ B3 L2 ?+ G通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。5 z- @, c; |# v* H1 v+ a# |: f

3. He is a nerd) N3 e1 ^" ~" q" z! c
; o# d7 [0 D- j5 |5 u. P
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: $ O4 K' E% V& e% {5 {9 j1 A
    He used to be a nerd in high school & E+ V6 j7 @4 O* B$ V1 w0 J
1 Q. c( l+ w' F4 h5 R* K' f- E
4. Yo baby, w+ d  S0 n! Y, k4 S
* H" c6 U# U* V% y  X3 ^+ Q: }% Z
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
) N$ C& s; w+ m$ Ryo”,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 C2 D* N" h  ^
    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?
8 Q% h0 `" R) t$ i' m/ B/ J  y“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:  T5 a4 h% a* Y- W
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
5 x8 L" t. f' W) \! x6 }/ n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: ; a' L" R2 c- y! [: d. b- n4 Q
    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?) 7 M4 t. N6 Y. `8 N' Z

  F: v9 y& m# P! m7 V- ~5. She is a ho- N/ Y' n. J2 j5 B6 v# q

5 l( ]" a4 R; r7 cho 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:
, {: H. V5 g0 M$ Z& W    They are (were) hos.
+ d3 {4 o: X! ]    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.) 9 A" }$ F( o9 ]- X# G$ ^" T
4 G8 p) I: n. N( [' }
6. Catch you later!
9 a. Z/ v! _$ V8 G6 j( R
$ C1 t: n) I( f) I" N, y! C& O# E6 l4 D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) 9 ]9 l2 E/ E7 \; V. W+ x5 B% w
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 P1 L! v. Z) k$ m$ H0 ]/ A" y6 }1 v
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
