舌尖上的美国(100):时下流行口头禅(下)

1. It's cool.（很酷）

2. Are you trippin'？（你怎么了？）

3. He is a nerd.（他是个书虫）

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，有什么心事吗？

“Yo baby"後面可跟任何可以「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"後跟任何可以「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发生关系。(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）

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！)
