有这样一句话，不知道大家有没有听过，“Slangis not so safe to use, but you'd better understand it.”这句话什么意思呢？就是对于俚语而言，你可以不说，因为说错了可能会引起麻烦，但是你得懂。
很多同学经常因为没有搞懂俚语的真正意思闹笑话，别人说“You are on fire!”你可能很纳闷，我没着火呀！百利天下留学小编曾经看过一个视频，一个中国学生对他的美国室友说要去做一件事，美国室友说“you don’t get the balls”，然后中国学生出去拿了好几个球进来，气冲冲地说，“I’ve got a lot of balls ”,美国室友无奈了……
（注：on fire除了着火的意思外，还可以形容人很厉害；get the balls 意为“有那个胆量”）
这些还都是小事，要是别人对你说“Watchout!”的时候，你第一反应是向外面看，那就糟糕了，很多时候，不同国籍的学生之间产生矛盾都是由于语言引起的，所以可不要小瞧俚语哦！
美国有非常多的俚语，就像我们在中国也会有很多的成语、歇后语一样，今天我们着重介绍一些在美国校园中比较常用的Slang，学生们了解之后，可以更加自如地融入这另外一种文化。
