几个年轻人常用的「口头禅」
1.It's cool: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:
That's cool;he is cool;this is cool.
Skydiving (或surfing) is cool.(跳伞或冲浪运动很不错)
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:
She (He) was cool in the past.
That's a cool T-shirt.(好看的运动衫)
He (she) is a cool person.(文雅礼貌的人)
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:
She looks as cool as a cucumber.又是恭维语,是说她很 calm and charming; not emotional.但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表,则不得而知.
(注:许多华人把 cool 译成「很酷」)
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:
They are trippin'.(= tripping)
She (he) is trippin'.
Mr.A must be trippin'.
通常只用在年轻人身上,而且不是恭维语.
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:
He used to be a nerd in high school.(过去他在高中时是位书呆子)
Many Chinese students are(或 have been)considered nerds.
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:
He is a computer geek.(意思是:虽然他是书呆子,但电脑很棒)
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:
I don't like him because he is a jerk.
也可以用复数:
Many jerks are working in our company.
主词也可以用其他人称,动词也可用其他时态:
They are jerks; He was a jerk in the past; Mr.A has been jerk for years.
(注:有时年轻人也用 dork 这个字,但不如 jerk 流行)
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 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:
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?
“Yo baby" 后面可跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子.诸如:May I help you with something?
I think I have met you somewhere before.
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" 后跟任何可以「打开话匣」的句子.诸如:
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 ho: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:
They are (were) hos.
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!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,以后再谈吧!(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 后面,也可用其他人称代名词(him,her,them 等)
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.(我要走了,再谈吧!)
