1. It's cool.: V8 |3 Q& D2 O1 W$ J7 D4 Z
! Q  G6 t, ?( |% p0 F
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:
# W& o8 s5 |$ _( W    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.   M6 b$ `7 ], O7 d) `5 @. G
    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)) a' M" K% g9 U: X5 ?/ |2 b7 A1 x

6 B! m  ^9 e9 o1 c1 B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: . m/ T* |2 S- }. C( s" D
    She (He) was cool in the past. 7 {; Z5 }+ X9 z
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
8 C3 w( l/ u% K0 J6 P    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) 9 L- H! K) \% c) m/ ~

5 y/ h1 W" |) M+ `+ ^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: ' O* W, i3 S1 H3 D! ^: {6 }. m* B
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not & A# w1 Y6 o, W2 Z: H
    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
* \( Y- y7 @+ X: }5 C    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)

2. Are you trippin'?
! Z! H& B% _. q, B7 T9 q6 T. b, I& t- l8 F8 P
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:
9 o- n1 Q- n% c; B! J    They are trippin'. (= tripping) 5 _# R8 S) I: I+ E) w, e( r- ]
    She (he) is trippin'. " I# G3 R' o$ s( N& h* \4 H
Mr. A must be trippin'.
- ]( q% v" o) \通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。/ K2 ]) R# D5 h! D) n

3. He is a nerd
% u+ }6 j% ~" ]' {' G+ G
0 G6 l& P* `) v/ i& B/ b; pnerd 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: $ y! p6 r+ @$ @
    He used to be a nerd in high school 0 {) O% P. U( K: G- a6 B: I

1 `  U$ m  i! \% p4. Yo baby% Q+ q4 }" J  k

) _! L& V, ?3 d9 h  h+ PYo 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 $ b9 F6 Q0 h2 U2 Z
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:
: f- B7 ?- v6 |" N    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? 3 q3 Q& ?! Z# E; d) B
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
" _/ f- n3 b1 m* o3 R- wMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
3 ~3 o: O- }3 m! A  j0 W0 B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:
  C3 H" M0 q% x. W7 W1 L0 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?)
" l' q& x* E2 W3 U3 @9 R. f, T. }1 v1 G8 W- z. l  m" K
5. She is a ho2 F, c( H3 [2 M1 I( i8 p
5 J) a) N, p: Z+ k/ X0 P$ U
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: 5 w0 K8 P- y& J! n- X
    They are (were) hos. $ Y5 z. {( \+ [* u: Z- Y
    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!
- Z! r$ C0 M! N8 }( v! p6 r# f* C. G7 @: P: ~0 h& M" g: I- w
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) # f* F1 d! u% t( h3 l4 y4 g5 C
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. 3 D$ U' f: W, G  |* Q6 D
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
