1.
- Say "Mom", and I will kill you in your sleep.
- Decaf, Serena. I was going to say "Mrs. Bass".


decaf: 这里指那些uncool, lame, stupid的事情。本意是不含咖啡因的咖啡,国内的Starbucks就有提供,无论是cappuccino还是latte,任何口味的咖啡都可以是decaf的,只要你在买的时候跟店员说明一下就可以。

2.
No, wait. Just hold on for a second. You crash the party and you tell me to break it off with Catherine and then
you pull an 180 and you tell me to stay with her and then you just bolt. I... I mean, did I do something...


crash the party: To enter a party uninvited
break it off with: 和某人断绝往来,注意它和break up的差别,后者是分手的意思。
pull an 180: 当然就是态度180度大转弯啦,change your mind的另外一种说法。
bolt: run away, 逃跑,闪了

3.
It’s having to see them date someone else that's hard. Why do you think I rub it in Chuck's face every chance I get?
- A twisted version of foreplay?
- Ignoring you.


rub it in one’s face: 故意触人痛处。后来Serena, Dan, 还有Dan在学校认识的那个女孩子一起约会,期间S认识了一个曲棍球(lacrosse)队队长,并且把他带到Dan的面前示威,Dan就对S说”You invite me out so you can rub lacrosse guy in my face?”
twisted: 变态。另外一个表示变态的单词是pervert,不过它特指那些很“色狼”的行为,例如偷窥,或者有一些特殊癖好。
ignoring you: 不理你了

- Cashing out so soon, Humphrey?
- You really should wear a bell.
- Kinky. I'll think about it. I hope you're not leaving.


cash out: to bounce or to go to bed. e.g. The movie is lame, I’m gonna cash out to somewhere else.另外注意take off这个单词,也可以表示离开的意思,而且要用进行时: I’m taking off. cash out来自形容词cashed, 表示灭了(is gone, run out), 耗尽了(reach the end of its useful life)或者形容傻的(boring, stupid).
kinky: 这里相当于weird或者bizarre. 不过kinky还可以指sexually deviant(在sex方面有特殊癖好的),而且这个意思很常用。老外特别总结了kinky sex种类,包括: Foot-sucking, rubber wearing, pee on me, fruit-fxxkin', candlewax drippin', long fingernail scrapin', tossed salad eatin',multiple partner havin', she-male, oil-drenched, chocolate sauce, whipped cream covered,vibrator usin',dress-up,banned in 30 states type of sex

5.
Amanda, we have a few ground rules here. Now that we're all friends, you should know that dating someone's ex is frowned upon.


ground rules: 基本规则
frown upon: frown就是皱眉头的动作,这里就是说你约会朋友的前任男友,肯定会被大家否定,会被鄙视的。英语中有很多用动作表示态度的词组,比如shrug off(耸肩),意思就是耸肩表示蔑视;比如thumb up(伸出大拇指),那么就是表示顶呱呱的意思;同样的,thumb down,就是表示很烂的了。所以遇到这些身体部位的词组,可以想象一下自己做这个动作时候要表示什么意思,那么多半就能猜出词组的含义了。
