WORDS & EXPRESSIONS

1.
Serena: Okay, can you just take my mind off of me? Talk about anything.
Blair: Did he say it like...
Serena: Anything but--
Blair: "I love her"?" 
Serena: I totally set myself up for that one.

take my mind off: 不去想，转移注意力。这里S和B在聊gossip girl, S的意思是拜托你，我们换个话题吧。
I totally set myself up for that one: set up表示“陷害，设圈套”，这句话的意思是“都是我自找的”，有点像中文的“自作孽”。前面S要B换个话题，于是B又那Chuck说“I love you”这件事情来烦S，所以S说自己绕来绕去，还是没的安宁。 

2.
Nate: Good, good. I start my internship at the mayor's office next week.
Vanessa: So that's the big news.
Nate: As for today ,I got my mom and my grandpa to agree to sit together, so that's something. 

internship: 实习
so that's something: 那还不错，那还挺了不起

3.
Cyrus: We were talking on the way over here about what a wonderful couple you two make. So we decided you should take the plunge like us. Dating at our age is not enough, marry before it's too late.
Rufus: Well, it's not exactly-- uh, we're just enjoying the journey.
Lily: Well, apparently at one point we had a destination, but that no longer seems to be the case. 

take the plunge: to marry someone. plunge本意是跳入，冒险做某事，这个词组除了结婚，还可以用来指你经过很长一段时间犹豫后，最终决定做某事。
we're just enjoying the journey: 享受过程
that no longer seems to be the case: 现在已经不是那样了，情况已经不同了
