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。
