【Simin 的转述】

Americans are crazy about slangs and they tend to use a great number of slangs in their conservations. So sometimes we have a hard time understanding what they are about it. But, I have to admit that slangs make the speech more colorful, and we should get with it. We should try it.

For example, if someone is "off the hook", it means that he is out of danger. The hook is a fish hook. If a fish on the hook, it is in trouble; but if a fish is off the trouble, it means it is out of danger. Didn't you find using slang is interesting? So why don't you try it ? Besides, when you talk with Americans, using slangs will at least make you feel more at home and not like a fish out the water.

1. 当你和美国人交谈时,用俚语 至少让你感到 比较自在而不觉得别扭。

Besides, it should at least make you feel more at home and not like a fish out of water when you speak to Americans.

Why didn't you just ask me that in the first place ?
