Chuck: I'm about to become very rich.

Tyler: Yeah,

congrats.

My condolences:

深表哀悼。话说昨天下午开会中，突然接到好友电话，告知追求失败的噩耗，我当时脱口而出这句my condolences.

Skip the sympathy:

收起你的同情心吧

congrats: congratulations的缩写

3.

Jenny:

How you holding up?

Eric: Holding.

How you holding up:你还好吧，还撑的住吧。当别人处在困境或悲痛中，就可以用这句话来问候对方。注意Eric的回答holding,

就表示“还好，正熬着，正扛着呢”。

4.

Nate: We should have just driven him to the door and dropped him off on thesteps.



Blair: No one should see him like this. He needs to

walk it off

walk off:

用走路来消除(痛苦等)，这里是说用走路来醒酒，让自己清醒

5.

Lily: Thank you, Dan, for being here forSerena and for our whole family.

Dan: Of course. I can't imagine it any other way.

Lily: You are a true gentleman. Your father raised you kids right.



Dan: Thank you.

Cece: Dear, they want to know about the

wreaths, whether we should...

Your father raised you kids right:

你爸爸真是教子有方

wreath:

花圈

6.

Chuck: What the hell are you doing here?!



Dan: Excuse me?

Blair: He's just upset and

loaded. What are you doing at my father's funeral?

loaded:

简单的说，就是喝醉了，详细说明如下：the act of excessive consumption of alcoholicbeverage which fuels the primitive barbaric wild side of any human being.Usually loaded people result in the following - stumbling around, say stupidthings, and likes to go streaking(裸奔), do animal calls(疯狂打电话), and chase the opposite sex.

关于喝醉，还有如下说法：drunk, tanked, wasted, inebriated, hammered,intoxicated,

最后两个程度最深，表示醉的已经很厉害了。

7.

Rufus: You're back soon. I wouldn't have thought Bart Bass would be one to havea short funeral.

Dan: Chuck threw me out before it even started 'cause according to him, uh, myfather "killed" his father.

Rufus: What? Why would he say that?

Dan: Well, I don't know, Dad. I mean, do you have any

wild guesses, any thoughts?

throw me out:

把我轰出来了，语气弱一点可以用kick me out(把我赶出来了)

wild guess:

胡乱猜想。别人问你“真的吗，真的是这样？”你回答“我瞎猜的，随便乱说的”，英文就是It’s a wild guess.

8.

Dan: Did you, uh, did you think of going today?

Rufus: To the funeral? Nah.

Dan: Why not? I mean, you're one of Lily's oldest friends.

Rufus: No, I know.

It's justbetter this way.

It's just better this way:

这样就可以了，就这样吧。

9.

Nate: You're really sweet with him.

Blair: Me? Sweet? No.

Nate: No, you are. I mean, worrying about him, offering him food.

It's downrightmaternal.

Blair:I'm not maternal. I've just been spending too much time with Cyrus, and I'mturning

Jewish.

It's downright maternal: downright相当于absolutely, maternal表示母性的意思。这里Nate说Blair“母性大爆发”，有时候中文里我们也会说“母爱泛滥”，这里的母爱英文对应的单词就是maternal.

大家可以注意一下后面Blair的回答，我觉得蛮有趣的，调侃了Cyrus一下。

10.

Cece: Excuse me, may I please

steal

my daughter for amoment?

Lily: Mother, if you want to talk,

now is notthe time.

Cece: What does chuck know?

Lily: Did you not hear what I just said? He knows something about you andRufus. You should find out what.

Lily: Mother, I just came from burying my husband. I do not have the time,

inclination

orfrankly,the mental capacity to

gohead-to-head with

chuck.

steal:

这个单词在聚会场景里经常听到，如果你要把某人从正在谈话的人群里拉出来，就可以用这个句型。类似的还有Can youguys excuse us for a moment? / May I borrow her? / Can I have a word with you?(这句话通常是对方单独一个人的时候使用)

nowis not the (good) time:

现在不是好时机(通常潜台词是“我现在心情不好，不要打扰我”)

havethe inclination to:

兴致，倾向

go head-to-head with:

正面冲突

11.

Eric: I just lost my stepfather. I don't want to lose my brother, too.

Chuck: When are you going to get it?

We are not related.

We are not related:

我们没有血缘关系

12.

Cece: Andrew Tyler was just here.

Lily: Bart's P.I.? Don't tell me he was here to

pay hisrespects.

Cece: No, he wanted me to

pay

him. He knows about the hospital in France.

P.I.: Private

Investigator,

私家侦探

pay his respect:

这里是哀悼死者的意思，通常也说pay last respect to someone.

这里的私家侦探掌握了Lily的秘密，所以借此要勒索他们，所以后面Cece说的pay是付钱的意思，这里用了pay的两个用法，大家可以注意一下。

13.

Lily: You have to stop him.

Cece: Do I? I'm not sure.

Lily: You can't be serious. Well, after all this time, now you decide that theright thing to do is to tell the truth?



Cece:

The truth is out. That changes everything, doesn't it?



Lily: No, it doesn't have to.

Cece: There could be no better time for a

clean

slate.

Lily: There could beno worse time, mother. This is the last thing I want to

come out. Payhim.

The truth is out: 这里的“泄漏”用out就可以搞定了，很简洁的说法。后面出现的come out，表示真相大白，用人做主语的话，就表示坦白的意思。此外，come out还有一个特殊含义表示“出柜”，就是某人坦白自己是gay的身份的话，英文就是he came out.

clean slate: an opportunity to start over without

prejudice

14.

Cece: What are you going to do about the fact that you're in love with RufusHumphrey?

Lily: Well, I'm not sure I'm gonna do anything, At least not right away.

Cece: So you are in love with him?

I was fishing.

Lily: Oh. Well,

you caught me. Considering the

circumstances, I have tried with all of my strength to fightit. It is a curse I do not wish on my worst enemy. But I love Rufus.

Serena: So that's why chuck was so upset.

Lily: Serena. Let me explain

Serena: Don't bother. You love Rufus.

You always have.

I was fishing:

我诈你的。fish做动词，表示to catch ortry to catch fish,

引申含义就是To seek something in a sly or indirect way.

You caught me:

被你看穿了。

You always have:

那句经典的”I love you. Always have, always will.”

很多台词里都引用过。

15.

Serena: Hey, you're gonna be fighting me for that neck pillow when your chin ison your chest and there's

drool

all over your shirt.



Aaron: How did you know that I

drool?

drool:

可作名词也可作动词，流口水的意思。中文里当你馋涎某件东西的时候，我们会说“看着都流口水了”，英文里就是drool over something.

口水还可以说saliva和water,

不过saliva是医学用语，相当于“唾液”。英文中说somethingis mouth-watering,

意思就是让人垂涎三尺的意思。

补充几个生理动作的英文：

流鼻涕是I have a running nose.

或者动词snivel.

名词的鼻涕叫做nasal

mucus, nasal是鼻子的，mucus则是黏液。snot也表示鼻涕，但是就是有点粗鲁，你说“你的鼻涕流下来了”，英文就是your snot is dripping down.

挖鼻子叫做pick nose,

鼻屎就是booger.

挖耳朵既可以说pick ear,

也可以用scratch your ear,

耳屎呢就是earwax.

挖耳朵的东西叫做earpick,

不过老外通常用棉花棒，那个叫做cotton swab或者Q-tip,

后者是一个著名的牌子。如果你要跟老外说挖耳朵的东西，建议你说后面那两个。

打喷嚏叫做sneeze, 擤鼻涕叫做blow your nose或者wipe your nose.

CULTURE NOTES

1.

More towers than

Trump, more bucks than

Bloomberg, Bart bass definitely made his mark on Manhattan

美国的两个大富翁，Trump就是Donald Trump了，做房地产起家，所以这边说Bart拥有的大楼比Trump还要多。看过或者听说过真人秀Apprentice的人，应该都会知道Trump，在节目里他就是Boss，而那些候选人就是他下属公司未来可能的领导人。至于另外一位Michael Rubens Bloomberg则是美国传媒界的大亨，同时也是现任的纽约市市长。相关介绍大家可以看：

2.

Lily: Charles, please. You need to be with your family.

Chuck: My family? I don't have a family.

Gossip Girl: If the lord is our

shepherd, it looks like one of his

lambs

has lost his way, or maybe make that a

black sheep.

Gossip Girl这段话里提到的shepherd,lamb, black sheep都和圣经有关，引经据典，可以写上一大堆，但这里尽量说的简单一点，主要资料来源于http://hi.baidu.com/lxfinter/blog/item/0e91479b81081fb2c9eaf484.html

首先，在希伯来（古代以色列）民族中，人民的生活主要依靠畜牧业。因此，羊是《圣经》中地位最为重要的一种动物。说到绵羊，我们总能联想起那种温顺的形象，而山羊看上去就没那么好惹，所以在新约里，山羊goat代表不听话的人，绵羊sheep代表软弱听话的人。black sheep则是害群之马的意思。

但是在旧约里，goat是祭祀用品。祭祀时候用两只羊，一只献给耶和华，另一只则放生，在旷野中任其自生自灭，带走人们的罪。所以英文有个单词scapegoat(替罪羊), scape就是escape的变体，表示逃走的羊，指的就是被放生的那只羊。因为它带走了人们的罪，于是它就是“替罪羊”。当然，goat本身也可以表示“替罪羊”的意思。

旧约中，摩西因为要带领以色列人离开埃及而受到法老的百般阻碍。上帝因此发怒，要杀死所有在埃及出生的男婴。以色列人杀了一只lamb，把血涂在门楣上，以便让上帝区别对待，因而得以幸免。这一天后来就成为逾越节（Passover）。lamb后来经常被用来表示耶稣，因为他像逾越节的羔羊一样心甘情愿地为拯救人类被杀害。因此“like a lamb”，“as meek as a lamb”，“like a lamb to the slaughter”这些成语都表达逆来顺受、任人宰割的意思。

如果你跟我一样，看到这里，联想起The Silence of the Lambs(沉默的羔羊)这部电影，然后疑惑为什么要起这样名字，那么你可以看一下这个链接http://fifid.com/subject/1805133/

（中间部分，有一段讲“为什么是羔羊”），可能会对你有帮助。

Eleanor: I was thinking something in a jacket, very Y.S.L.

Jenny: Okay,

Mick and Bianca, 1971. Great reference.

已故时装大师Yves Saint Laurent和他的品牌YSL,相信大家都不陌生了。他把pantsuit(配长裤的套装)改良成Le Smoking,

中文叫做“吸烟装”，那种长长的西服，配窄腿裤。他N年前就推出过了，也不知道是为了哀悼他的去世，还是因为时尚界的复古风，今年又重新流行了吸烟装，不单单是那些一线品牌，连普通商场都随处可见类似的衣服。

而Mick Jagger是the rolling stone的主唱，Bianca是他妻子，他俩结婚时穿的都是YSL的衣服，Bianca当时是真空上阵，穿着YSL的白色西装，一反传统，震惊四座。

关于YSL,

我找到了一篇英文的介绍，图文并茂，有兴趣的话可以作为阅读资料看一下：http://clothesaholic.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
