一、俚语的定义
第六版牛津高阶英汉双解词典对俚
语（slang）的解释是：在口语中较常见的不正式的词或表达，尤其为某一特定群体所用，如孩子、士兵、罪犯，等等[1]。俚语是一种非习惯用语，是粗俗的或通行面极窄的方言词，用于表达新鲜事物，或赋予旧事物新说法。它是人们在日常生活中总结出来的顺口或通俗易懂的具有地方色彩的词语，较生活化。美国的俚语是指在美国非常广泛使用的、约定俗成的口头语。俚语多是口头使用，有时还带贬义，不能跟当事人当面说，一般只能背后说。例如，警察的正规说法是police，但俚语是cop。Cop 这个词带有轻蔑之意，只能大家平时私下讲，不能当面对着一个美国警察这么说。
二、俚语的起源和发展
产生俚语的原因很多，如社会阶层、文化背景、人种差异、地域间隔，都可产生属于某一圈内人士所讲的“行话”，也就是所谓的俚语。俚语的起源还不清楚，初见于1800年的印刷品，所载为伦
敦罪犯们的行话。最初的美国俚语是吸毒者、流浪汉、黑人等下层人士使用的暗语或行话。
现今俚语的主流已经不只局限于这些亚文化群，已发展为主宰美国当今文化主流的上层人士创造的俚语。那些曾经被定义为“难登大雅之堂”的美国俚语已频频出现在美剧、名报、名著、电视、网络中，甚至是美国总统的正式演说中。美剧Desperate Housewives《绝望的主妇》剧情贴近生活，其中口语也生动活泼，剧中用了很多很实用的流行美式俚语。例如：cost an arm and a leg是指to be very expensive极其昂贵之意。因此可以说美国俚语已融入到主流文化的“血液”中。俚语在美国人的日常交谈中广泛使用。随着科技的日新月异，新事物不断涌现，大量俚语也应运而生。其中最经典的、最耳熟能详的俚语就是“cool”了，原意是“凉，凉爽”之意，现作为俚语的意思是“动人的，妙极的”。

美国句最实用俚语解析
美国句最实用俚语解析 1. kick ass 了不起 A: Wow, you fixed my computer in less than 10 minutes. You'regood。 A: 哇！你不到十分钟就把我的计算机修好了呀！你很棒！ B: Yep. I just kick ass。 B: 是的！我就是厉害！ "kick ass" 除了字面上的“踢屁股”外，还有“厉害、打败”的意思。当“踢屁股”时，比如某人放你鸽子，你很气，就可以说："I'm going to kick his ass." (我得踢他的屁股)。当“厉害”用时，就像上面例句一样用。"kick ass" 还可作“打败某人的意思”。比如某人一向在某方面比你强，终于有一天你比他厉害了，你就可以说："Hahaha...I kicked your ass."。觉得"ass" 太难听的人，就用"butt"吧！ 赵晴注：改作形容词就变成ass kicking. 你可以说，wow, this new trick is asskicking. 或者说，this is an ass kicking trick. Kick somebody's ass有给某人一个教训的意思。 2. kiss ass 拍马屁 A: Mary, I'm sorry for cheating on you before. Do you see anychance that we can get back together? A: Mary, 我真的很抱歉对你不忠实。你想我们可不可能重修旧好呢？ B: I don't know, but you can kiss my ass。 B: 不知道，不过你可以亲我的屁屁(巴结我)。 赵晴注：Kiss somebody's ass 是拍马屁的意思，但是在这句话里的意思是"你就做梦去吧",也就是"你去死吧". 马屁精显然就是ass kisser 3. XYZ 检查你的拉链 Hey, man. XYZ。 老兄啊！检查一下你的拉炼吧。
[美国口语俚语]以B开头的常见俚语
[美国口语俚语]以B开头的常见俚语 简介：俚语（lǐyǔ）(Slang)，是指民间非正式、较口语的语句，是百姓在日常生活中总结出来的通俗易懂顺口的具有地方色彩的词语。地域性强，较生活化。俚语是一种非正式的语言，通常用在非正式的场合。有时俚语用以表达新鲜事物，或对旧事物赋以新的说法。中国人说英语常常闹笑话，其实并不见得是单词量不够，往往是无法理解对话中所出现的俚语。自己表达地生硬刻板，也是因为不懂得如何使用Slang。美国俚语这个栏目主要是为读者介绍英语口语中出现的高频俚语，从而提高自身的口语表达和地道性。 以B字母开头的常用俚语(1) 1. back off 减轻，软化，后退，滚开，别插手 Do you always back off? 你总是退避三舍吗？ 2. back out 退出（交易），叫停 George backed out of the deal at the last minutes. 乔治在最后一刻退出了交易 3. back to/at square one 回到了原点，白费力气 It's really frustrating! After so much effort, I'm back at square one. 太让人沮丧了！做了这么多努力，最后还是白忙一场 4. backseat driver 喜欢在后座指导人家如何开车的人，不在其位而某其政,爱指手划脚的人 Please be quiet, I can't concentrate with so many backseat drivers. 安静点吧，那么多人指挥，我无法专心 5. bad-mouth 说坏话
美国俚语大全
1. I couldn't care less. 这句话的意思是「我不在乎」，「缺乏兴趣」（lack of interest），也就是：I don't care at all. 或I don't give a hoot. 例如： 人家如果问：What do you think of the budget-cut?（你对预算削减有何看法？）你回答：I couldn't care less.（我毫不在乎） How do you like Mr. Lee's political point of view?（你喜欢李先生的政见吗？）I couldn't care less.（我才不在乎呢！） 但是有时说话者也有「口是心非」：例如： I couldn't care less about the promotion or pay raise.（我不在乎升级或加薪）而实际上他是根本在乎升级和加薪的，那么人家也许就会回答说：Yes, you do （care）. 至于I couldn't care more. 就是「我很在乎」（I care a lot.）或I care deeply. 同理： I couldn't agree more.=I totally agree.（我完全同意） I couldn't please you more.=I did my best to please you.（我尽量使你高兴）I couldn't be more right.=I am totally right. 但是老外为了「自尊」，不愿强调自己的错误，所以很少人说： I couldn't be more wrong. 注意：一般人都用否定句，但也有老外把肯定句与否定句互用。 不过，严格来说，I could care less. = I care to some degree.（care 的程度可能减少） I could care more.=I care some.（care的程度也许增加）（主词可用任何人称代名词：he, she, you, we, they 等。但只用could，不用can。） 2. No bones about it. 意思是：真实的，诚恳的（truly, sincerely or exactly），也就是to make no bones about it.（bone 要加s, it 是指something）例如： His wife is beautiful;no bones about it.（他的太太真是很漂亮） Mr. A made no bones about it when he talked about abortion issue.（当A 先生谈到堕胎问题时，他是诚恳的。） When I spoke on the topic,he said, "No bones about it."（也就是他同意我的看法） No bones about it;the weather is very chilly today.（今天是真的太冷了）
