1. It's cool:cool 是青少年(teen-agers) 常用的字,(有时也用 debonaire)& Z2 N/ V) a  I' a

, u/ L5 K& w) M& w" R  Y  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:
) X) i; X* y& t0 T8 Z" [8 e) r) P7 `; i. c' M0 Z
  That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
7 M" u+ ~! J3 |7 Z* z' c/ w" h1 U; W
  Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
! ^. c8 L6 n# _; ^) t* h/ i0 X. B* G" ?' A! M
  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:. v! m* j9 F: R+ i
) {& S5 t# E* O5 O' V
  She (He) was cool in the past.
' f  `7 l. |* t( q1 L- @- x5 ?- G# {% Y  ^
  That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
) e+ U( j% b5 F( H: i3 u6 X+ R% {0 i# M  E
  He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
  x% b  Z" A5 x  {, V
& z6 f  \) b* k% [7 u+ X  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 P  Z& _+ ^, U7 ?

. f" X6 S8 o# j  She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
$ i# ?5 P- l: `( H- u: a- v- i
  emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。
8 N# T" W0 C3 T  U: l' ?1 H
, D) L& A0 P' m& T+ l  (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」); C3 }( q8 C) f; d1 w& l9 k

* C5 ^! w) b/ u  e9 _3 `" k6 [9 ]  2. Are you trippin'?: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:& J. B+ f+ y3 A/ H1 |

1 \. _- T0 f, |9 m  They are trippin'. (= tripping)
  H) R$ K$ T$ Z! g9 q: G
# e: S: A) m8 ~- f# U$ W, n  She (he) is trippin'./ L. u$ B& {: b3 v' J, U+ R
8 X' _8 L0 ]8 G6 `+ o
  Mr. A must be trippin'.
( W. c9 E) }9 g6 _( H2 f4 ~5 Y* C6 ^$ f4 ?; J( b6 p, _: l4 @
  通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。
& Y9 W* v  x8 x; t! S; h  U6 C' d1 P  n$ I1 c( h( i1 o
  3. He is a nerd: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:
4 q  n0 N7 m, n# x1 o9 F
  f- J: F! S5 W+ A8 u/ \  He used to be a nerd in high school. (过去他在高中时是位书呆子)
: g. d. n3 [9 p: U' y& H4 ?4 J) t/ m* h+ X
  Many Chinese students are(或 have been)considered nerds.
- L9 e  Q! N4 N6 E0 y( s' H  j8 B$ @3 c( m
  至於 geek 这个字,虽然与 nerd 相似,年轻人也常用,但 geek 是指在某一方面有很高的 IQ。我们可以说:9 K" G* `; A$ c, U

: U0 s- L6 X  u2 I7 ^  He is a computer geek. (意思是:虽然他是书呆子,但电脑很棒)2 O/ [! E. ?; Z+ r* X& A

* `8 v, f+ T; ?  另外,年轻人还用 jerk 这个字,通常是指没有社交技巧,头脑简单或古怪,令人讨厌的家伙(annoying person),如果你不喜欢一个人,就可以说:: J  g- ?% j! E9 G  i0 A
* j( k% y9 w! Q0 P1 u/ J
  I don't like him because he is a jerk.3 X/ L8 K" O( h: ?1 k
: `" W* z) T" P& `" O
  也可以用复数:
5 V0 l# `* o3 d, I3 |/ w! |1 P+ L7 j/ f5 p; e+ ~
  Many jerks are working in our company.
% Z2 ~* e7 L; t- d2 _) j
& k' u  k% B3 {* q  主词也可以用其他人称,动词也可用其他时态:3 {1 n8 v7 ?& p0 t9 `7 c9 |9 w- V

1 w1 V; k% ]. P5 z  They are jerks; He was a jerk in the past; Mr. A has been jerk for years.- N4 D$ K0 p% c( r5 W  T# x

0 j, G1 ~" X( }  (注:有时年轻人也用 dork 这个字,但不如 jerk 流行)3 Q: k* E! Y- |3 N) s  O. F
  q4 h( W( C5 s+ D" {
  4. Yo baby: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
* ]& E. a( @# }8 c) T3 M, E
2 b5 k: e! \+ D3 i+ `8 L3 ]  r  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:
% o) J, P# f* l8 \9 p  o6 w
$ Y, Q/ K3 {: w) s* v  Yo baby, are you trippin'? 意思是:漂亮的姑娘,你的样子有点怪里怪气,有什么心事吗?
: O( g) q9 [4 s% l* F% S2 h' d
: k" H5 c" U* j+ M  “Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:0 x, m5 [2 j, |8 M. T+ K3 s
2 \+ N' h' v( E% u$ S
  May I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.4 A* i" B$ ~5 W- [
6 O) A8 \" \: c
  同理,如果年轻女子看到帅哥,有吸引力,很想与他交谈,那么就用:“Hey, hey, hey" 後跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
  x3 D; s! _) E) O" ^" V2 [  Z: l2 l: R0 Q( ?5 Z3 N
  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?)
* x5 g# |( ^) D6 [. d$ n
' ^* p2 t( y2 c. m$ I, i  }  5. Catch you later!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 J% f' P3 j1 Z. B) C# b9 Q! E
+ c0 h7 }8 ]6 w+ ]7 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 N- Y0 D3 A; F" ?

( F$ i) B- y7 Z( [. u  (我要走了,再谈吧!)
