1. It's cool.8 r' @4 F- a- @
! r9 f6 u8 z! D7 h6 `, X8 l
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:
5 U6 Y( R6 h0 O4 T- s; `# r: Y    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
: ~; Y- Y9 D7 U0 U    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)- k' D, y6 s8 q8 P0 O

7 t6 c* E3 X6 ?+ m7 w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: $ g1 U  o6 Y% C
    She (He) was cool in the past. 1 L' v4 ?# l8 q# X$ |1 |' B
    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫) " Z* n  Q5 q, M$ B$ }
    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
# P% X( R0 l- o$ p+ B. d
( |4 q  e/ F4 x$ u6 }# B" T, W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: 5 F, m& z; `" B2 p
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
; S# H0 ?7 n2 S% @    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 " n" g4 r1 f$ G
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) ! J; R! F+ N& b6 ]

( w* Y+ a( @" H- l4 e2. Are you trippin'?* f4 t. V( C- Z- c0 i* R

. _; u" F) K0 G! B$ `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: & k) R) v+ O% J% _- c# s
    They are trippin'. (= tripping) - A+ T5 d8 N" @- N' M0 C
    She (he) is trippin'. 4 M0 W9 w8 V5 v. T$ C: t( b. i
Mr. A must be trippin'. 7 g, ~3 n4 Q  M
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。6 o% w2 m0 n8 ^
& C0 F9 g2 R5 i/ _
3. He is a nerd
: B9 w: _$ S7 n3 v) ~9 j" l& d5 R5 q6 }4 M: y
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: , m* k# M8 w; u. I! P7 X) K6 |
    He used to be a nerd in high school
# {$ m% Q9 r8 k+ k
8 U/ c# `- m+ U2 d! S/ j2 P4. Yo baby
  Q9 ^( e- t3 Z2 R4 n: }. y/ w
) `* I9 N9 x0 L+ }- ZYo 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
% j- i) w4 y; ?) O8 tyo”,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: % ?3 B: k. j- |' s
    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? 6 j! P6 i5 M5 q; I
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:* d2 |  v1 _) f( T$ U: K4 {( T( M
May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before. . e5 d# k7 C/ u1 Q
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( G' Y% |* d6 C# Z# _    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?) * n, R; o& m* q7 R
0 N7 T! O  C; b# |
5. She is a ho
" I2 U2 G+ l" U2 ^- h% G) d# P( b4 f, H& n
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: $ N$ @. y! y% y  D/ n4 H! j7 j9 I- D
    They are (were) hos. ) M. Y/ v6 D9 V, B+ H
    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!
# L* T! G4 D, ?
; d$ M* ?  {: y9 o; {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) ( z" u3 k5 _. @/ D
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. 1 S, k7 V( c; s8 M
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
