It’s been awhile since I’ve taught some slang, so I think it’s about time to step up my game.
我有好一段时间没有教俚语啦，所以我想是时候给大家带来一些新知识~
Let’s start with an easy and common one. “Sweet.” Of course, we all know this means the 甜 flavor, or nice (i.e. She’s so sweet). Other variations could be “Sweety,” which would mean 小甜甜.
我们先从一个简单并且常见的俚语开始吧。它就是 "Sweet"。当然，大家都知道这个词是用来表示“味道很甜”或者“很好”的意思（比如：She's so sweet 她很漂亮）。还有另外一种说法是"Sweety"，也就是“小甜甜”的意思。
But many of us westerners like to use “sweet” by itself to describe a good situation. It’s pretty much just used like 太好了，太酷了，太棒了. Pretty easy, right?
但是大多数外国人都喜欢用“Sweet” 来描述一个“好的情况” 。就像中文里的“太好了，太酷了，太棒了”。怎么样，是不是很简单？
Another common slang word to show acknowledgement or confirmation is “For sure.” Probably one of the best ways to think of this word in Chinese would be “当然.”
另一个常见的用来表示“回应感谢”或者“表示确认”的俚语是“For sure.”。我会把它理解成为中文的“当然”。
If someone says “Thanks,” you already know you can say “You’re welcome” or “No problem,” but you can also say “For sure” – in this sentence, it’s like saying “of course”. Here, it’s an acknowledgement.
如果有人对你说“Thanks”，除了可以回答他“You’re welcome” 或者“No problem” 之外，你还可以说“for sure”，在这句话中，它其实就是“of course” 的意思。这里它用来“回应感谢”。
It can also be a confirmation, a “yes” answer. Instead of just answering the question with a “yes/yeah”, responding “For sure” shows emphases, it’s a big fat “of course!!”
"For sure" 也可以用来代替“yes” 表示确认。除了用“yes/yeah” 来回答别人的问题，回答“For sure” 表示强调，它其实就是一个大写的“of course!!”。
Example 1:
Woodie: Thanks for helping me move Connie, you’re the only one who can lift all this furniture.
伍迪：康妮谢谢你帮我搬家，你是唯一一个可以搬动这些家具的。
Connie: For sure Woodie, don’t even mention it.
康妮：当然，这没什么。
Example 2:
Denzel: Yo Malloy, you’re coming with me to the party tonight, right?
丹泽尔：嘿，马洛伊，你晚上会和我去那个派对是吧？
Malloy: For sure! You couldn’t pay me to miss it!
马洛伊：当然啦！我可不希望错过这个派对！
I’m trying to keep this short and sweet, thus the name “1 Minute English” so I’ll stop here. Keep an eye out for a future article of mine that will tell you when, where, and how to use slang the right way.
我想让这篇文章简短有用一些，就像这个频道的名称“一分钟英语”一样。所以今天先教大家这么多。继续关注我的下一篇文章，将会告诉你在什么时间、地点，并且如何正确的去使用这些俚语！
