1. It's cool.9 r% B0 C  K" h

3 w- {- ^7 A. ]7 Scool 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: 8 a! A# E3 F: \7 |* l# `
    That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
2 O7 Z. E- ]# c* `    Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
7 s8 Z3 F$ v, G6 H$ \4 ^8 a- A6 @3 K' ?: G
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: 1 S/ D' Z: [( K& q% d+ _- f( V4 T, e
    She (He) was cool in the past.
* B/ Y( m8 T5 s$ a- v+ Z, d    That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
6 s" M+ C2 p! X. Z6 `! N+ s    He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
" Q' z% y; Z# v+ R  `, [" a8 `) u, `+ r' q" T; G5 R
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: . e8 p2 U0 l0 k5 D: Z  R, k' N
    She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not
+ X- h$ ~7 g/ r6 J& P    emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知。 & u% s# x; u  z0 Z$ c. Y
    (注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
7 \9 O# M1 C; a" w( G
2 z- ^3 c. d( p- y; R2. Are you trippin'?- m3 T- r% I7 {0 O5 P, d( D7 f
- n& O1 c) P, k
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:
% S: \0 Q& J3 L: Q' P+ p    They are trippin'. (= tripping) 7 v2 R8 M, k8 B. `7 `* `2 Q9 T7 W
    She (he) is trippin'. 3 d- B& S1 p0 U; B
Mr. A must be trippin'. ' \- i3 q, s: e4 @3 x
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语。

3. He is a nerd
$ ?% e& ]8 w- ?! A; q3 ^  [
& y  h& f4 t0 Q8 K" W! Qnerd 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:
0 I5 Z1 f3 u9 L5 {    He used to be a nerd in high school
# [+ X9 Q: C5 G4 u3 l8 I' x1 p. N
, \  k0 f# P  [- H: h1 H. A) v4. Yo baby
, `; ]! A" B( D( s+ q  e
0 A8 z0 d$ `0 L9 J* MYo 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
' [. l! S; f" {, H' c5 {, H5 {& J5 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:
6 {& u- t1 E- r* V& \6 `    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? ! n9 R* T+ W* b4 A
“Yo baby" 後面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子。诸如:
- j) {( R  Z6 A. NMay I help you with something? I think I have met you somewhere before.
# p/ D4 a% r: X- Y* E& P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: , I* i% \( B# ~
    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?) & e! b4 D* V9 S+ ]
" n4 W- i# z* r, E% q
5. She is a ho* W! d% z& \0 N1 x% j8 L" J+ g
2 S) R- f" `& R' r
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:
- s2 a) f% F9 ~4 o! n$ a- }0 g    They are (were) hos.
' N* @' k2 Y) z& M    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 S2 C1 `$ J0 q4 J9 O: U' s

' M1 _( w7 \0 g  E6 U  V  H6. Catch you later!
5 i" }' b! B) R4 a' D4 B. U2 I% j/ n' o! w. h/ F* P7 X
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)
, T: t) F9 n2 c& t  u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 L' \! ^% R! p6 w1 y, b5 W5 }: a# F
(我要走了,再谈吧!)
