1Cool: great; excellent; unusual
棒极了;泰然自若的;沉着的;轻松的。
世界很多新闻媒介都用“cool”来形容我们的朱总理。
【疯狂短评】
Cool is the first word on this list because people have become so lazy and
careless about speaking that they use“cool”to describe everything and everyone.
One word replacing so many adjectives is an example of the poverty of language.
In any case, using the word“cool”will make you sound...cool! (modern, with-it,
hip, up-to-date, stylish, contemporary, intelligent, etc.) Get the picture?
That's cool.
