Answer

"Chicks" is American slang for "girls."

While "I like college chicks" is grammatically correct, the phrase would not be used in polite speech. "I like college girls" or "I like college-age girls" are slightly better. However even those phrases would be considered impolite by some people.

Answer

I like college chicks
=> This is wrong (totally inappropriate) and you should report what he said to the director of the school.

Answer

你的问题很有意思。 我用我的很简单的中文解释。这个句子是一个美国俚语。'chick' 是一个年轻女生，对女生很少尊重。全句子翻译是'我喜欢年轻女生'，但不是一位普通朋友！如果你在对话里真说这个英文句子，你的意思是'我喜欢和年轻女生玩儿性交。。。'。所以你需要很小心。我觉得你的美国'老师'玩笑你们。语法正确但是对话里真不斯文。别人对你不好印象。你问美国'老师' 这个问题 “So, is it OK to use this sentence in college or interviews, or when I talk to the school principal?"。 我真想知道他怎么回答你，请你告诉我！

Answer

I would say it is not a very respectful way to describe girls who are college students. It would be more commonly used by Americans in their daily life. If you prefer to have a more international perspective to your English and avoid potential misunderstandings, then avoid using it.

Answer

thank you.老师主要是为了教我们发音，当college尾音遇到chicks的开头时候，college的尾音不能省略，老师可能找不到更好的例子，而我是想知道这句话的意思，能使用的场合，谢谢你的指点。
