电影经典台词

3. I had my eye on her.
下次遇到要表达“她很漂亮，她很迷人”，除了用那些she开头的句型，也可以用这个以I为主语的句子。
4. - Speaking of, where is that story of yours? You know, the one your internship requires you turn in?
7. -At least I could have gotten a more interesting stand-in than James. Do you know how hard it is to find a good fake boyfriend on short notice?
-Well, he was smart and fun at tea yesterday, and he’s really cute, too.
place: 住的地方就是place. 很少说go to my house, 更不说go to my home.
spot: to detect or discern, especially visually. “别人发现我们了，认出我们”，不说find, 也不说recognize，而是应该用这个spot. 另外，辨认出罪犯的模样，也用spot the culprit.
- You can’t be finished.
behind: 指的是behind the schedule, 落后，晚了。口语里可以简单的就说behind.
I won’t be around.: 我一直都不在。注意around比here要地道。
You can’t be finished.: 你完成不了的。 用的是被动语态。
if that’s the case: 如果事情真的如此
off the radar: radar就是雷达，意思说总是消失在我们视线里，连雷达都探测不到。off the radar还可以表示illegal, illegitimate: I took his money and did the job "off the radar," avoiding the IRS, the FBI, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
-You don’t have to lie anymore, Serena, he served his purpose. Now that Chuck on his way back to the city, I can dump James just in time to go to the white party stag.
- Oh, suddenly it’s all so clear.
go south means things are turning bad. 这个说法来源于地图"上北下南"的规定，所以go south可以用来代表任何下降、变坏的趋势。可以用来形容和某人的关系，经济走势，或者物品的变坏。
commoner: 普通人，凡人。另外，这里B用了罗马假日来做比喻，把自己比作记者，Marcus则是那位公主，非常可爱的比喻。
suddenly it’s all so clear: 一下子就明朗了，清楚了。clear是个常用词，一种表示“无障碍，畅通的”，比如警察冲进房间，发现里面没有危险，他就会喊clear。第二种用法是用来询问对方是否明白你的意思，通常有种很权威，很高高在上的语气，比如Do I make myself clear? / Is it clear?
6.The only thing lamer than dating Dan Humphrey is mourning Dan Humphrey. And the only reason you’re still sitting shivah is because you haven’t gotten back out there and had your summer fling.
3.
Blair Waldor, a fling? You’re not y low maintenance.
fling: 在第1集里已经介绍过，指那种短暂的，不用负责任的邂逅
low maintenance: 相对于high maintenance而言，就是《蛋白质女孩》里提到的“高维修女子”，那种需要花很多心思，要求特别高的女孩子就叫做high maintenance，B就是其中的典型. 而low maintenance，指的就是那种要求很低，很容易打发的人。
2.Also spotted-Serena Van der Woodsen on Copper’s beach…Alone again. We’ve heard talk that things are heating up with Nate Archibald. And where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. But if that’s the case, why has Nate fallen off our radar and Serena, as always, sighted solo?
cover: to help someone out by
1) filling in(代替). e.g. I got a hot date, can you cover my shift (替我上班) on Friday night?
2) backup their excuse
3) going along with their lie, cosign for them, corroborate their story (替人圆谎) e.g. He told his mom that he'd been at my house all night. I covered for him.
- Yes, it’s, uh, it’s imminent.
- So is death. Be more specific.
speaking of: 说到这个，说起来……这是我们经常会用到的一个短语。
imminent: ready to take place; hanging threateningly over ones head，马上就要发生的。特别强调 “命悬一线”的情况，比如danger, illness, death. 所以教授催Dan教功课，Dan回答imminent(快了，马上就好了), 教授就tease他说”so is death”，你的死期也不远了。
stand-in: 替身
on short notice: 在仓促的情况下
serve one’s purpose: 符合需求，解决问题。这里表示“他可以功成身退了”。
stag: to go alone

1.
-Things are going south with Lord Marcus.
4) provide supporting firepower for them in a shootout(枪战片里的“掩护我”) e.g. Cover my back, I'm goin' in!!!
在这里cover应该是第3个意思，S和N互相圆谎，各取所需。N可以背地里与有夫之妇继续affair(婚外情), S则可以假装已经忘记与Dan分手的伤痛。注意N在用了works for her这个短语，work意思是“有作用，有效果，有好处”。任何有效的东西，都可以说It works.
heat up: When two people are together and things start "heating up," whether it be holding hands, making out, fooling around or having sex. A synonym for "hook up".
decompress: chill out, wind down.放松，减压，释放。这句话的意思就是“Serena需要时间从分手里缓过劲来”。另外举个例子：After a hard day in the office I like to decompress with a large cup of coffee.
2.
- He’s a lord, and I love him.
- Okay, I’m gonna take your word for it, but, Blair, love?
- And not just because Tom Hanks gave him a Kleenex at Lady Di’s funeral.
take your word for it: 我相信你说的话
Kleenex: 其实就是“舒洁”，世界上第一张面巾纸，已经被字典收入，用来表示“纸巾”。类似的还有Xerox, 施乐，这个单词可以用来指复印机。
Lady Di: Lady Diana, 黛安娜王妃。西方人一般都用昵称Di来称呼她。

4.
-Charles, sidebar.
-Actually, we weren’t finished.
-Notice how my voice didn’t go up at the end?
这里B叫Chuck到旁边的吧台去，Chuck说还没跟Marcus谈完。B就说“你没注意到我的语气不是升调吗？”在英语里，语调上升就表示询问和请求，语调下降表示命令。很明显，B是命令Chuck，而不是邀请他去旁边。所以我们说英文的时候，也要注意自己的语调，否则同一句话，表达的意思会完全不一样。
5.- Eleanor returns next week, and we are still behind. Now since I have to go to that party this weekend, I won’t be around, and therefore, neither will you.
lame: 这个单词太常用了。在这里表示“傻，愚蠢”，它还可以表示“无趣”，比如冷笑话就是lame joke. 你说一个人He’s lame，就是说He is no fun.
mourn和shivah都是哀悼的意思，shivah源自shiva, 犹太教里它指七日服丧期。
fling: deliberately short-term sexual relationship between two people. Longer than a one-night stand, not as serious-sounding as "affair". No deep personal involvement required, just the sex and a bit of attention.
-Who’s Lord Marcus?
-James. It turns out that he was only pretending to be a commoner. It’s like Roman Holiday, only I’m Gregory Peck, and he’s Audrey Hepburn.
