1. It's cool.' V# N; ]% o4 g4 l" S

$ M9 J: z' M/ o/ P( Mcool 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: " P5 x6 E; S+ k
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
( q$ i  Y4 Z( h3 X    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)  v% c% r/ N. B  S" }3 e! V

# V* P$ x! k- }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:
3 L' U, L. q6 O  T2 o1 i    She (He) was cool in the past.
$ w1 h4 ]8 x& h5 x! E+ L! a, `( N    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
; U: t# V9 |7 ?5 G* Z    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人) 4 R  B# h7 {# Y+ n

9 A8 f1 F' J( E6 o4 R  Q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:
7 r* Q4 E, {' ], Y4 u    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
: D' c/ \  R# i  h1 \* V    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 % d' ~( t4 {; @" ~* b1 K+ h8 t
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」) 5 w  {& B3 x* e' B, `

7 B$ h% R0 s  }5 s4 p2. Are you trippin'?$ r$ m; f2 U7 K
3 T2 {. b6 B' l9 q$ [  l
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: - d+ ^( X% S; E+ {. l& K
    They are trippin'. (= tripping) ; V4 \" b8 |) ^% L3 F' g
    She (he) is trippin'.
  f3 {3 s2 d: J/ Y* ^0 TMr. A must be trippin'. % \. m7 w1 z' y. a) s
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。

3. He is a nerd
6 |2 f% V: y6 c# r" l( x
; r. H! p1 w+ _2 `: K& w% Mnerd 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: # m7 p3 p  F  c$ s2 R  x+ Z
    He used to be a nerd in high school 7 s, Y, e6 T" K& t5 `
# ^: N0 _' r" q3 i$ J
4. Yo baby& B' |) q/ Q, E

5 I3 [" n0 X; W3 ^1 s3 J* qYo 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 y( }) S& W, Y
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:
$ P$ I" ~, s- ?$ a) n1 v9 \& b    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? ) Z. D6 y: \6 ~8 U
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
1 e- x! D+ X" i7 A& iMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
! ]! x1 ^% b) r8 j5 Z+ r( \6 c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:
. d0 ?! j, }4 D, q, G7 J6 o* W    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?)

5. She is a ho5 V. E6 n# R& H1 P7 |8 R
& M7 c6 M# `  M  r- M, s! X: g
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: . U+ n9 ^9 ~7 r3 w3 j
    They are (were) hos. 9 p3 M8 Q0 n" c' M, o
    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.) 8 s3 f& J; C/ j  S/ ?( [% T' {/ e

4 V8 X7 S) d0 N8 B" I  D6. Catch you later!$ k% l2 T! e; n, d
( b: {/ T; M0 j! s$ C( D9 M6 H
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)
2 F+ b5 M9 g! I* H9 g4 r% V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.
. |5 q2 ?7 J8 m, z. }(我要走了,再谈吧!)
