-Rumor has it he kept this place in booze during prohibition. So you like old Joe?
Chuck: Rumrunner, womanize, millionaire. He was my kind of guy.

Rumor has it…: 江湖传闻……
booze: 豪饮，也可以表示喝醉的意思。另外醉了还可以说I’m drunk./. 如果你坚持自己是清醒的话, 就是I am sober.还有一个跟酒醉有关的字叫 hangover, 中文翻成宿醉, 也就是指喝醉酒后隔天早上醒来头痛等等的症状。DWI (driving while intoxicated) 或者DUI (Driving under influence), 就是醉酒驾车的意思。

Chuck: Did you read the proposal?
Bart: Why would I do that?
Chuck: Because... the tax break will be huge. Saving a landmark buys us amazing PR, engenders goodwill in the community, paving the way for future investment. Plus, it's a great place. Look, father, let me take you there and show you around. I'll make you a believer, I promise.
tax break: 减免税收（为了鼓励富人多参与慈善活动，政府通常会在税收上给予一定的优惠。比如你捐款10万元，那么你就可以少交10万的税）
PR: Public Relation, 公共关系，有时候也说publicity(公众形象)，后面Serena跟Dan谈起她妈妈的party说到”My mom hosted this big party. It as supposed to be about our new family,but it turns out, of course, it was for publicity.”
engenders goodwill: 树立善良亲民的形象
paving the way for: 为……铺路
I'll make you a believer: 我会让你相信这一切都是真的

Blair: Bet's off.
Chuck: But the game's not over.
Blair: I'm calling it on account of boredom. You were right. Vanessa's not worth playing with.
Chuck: Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. Why the sudden change of heart?
Blair: Like I said, the whole thing is dull. Pursuing Vanessa is beneath us both.
Chuck: You think I'm going in for the kill. You're worried you're gonna have to go through with what you promised.
on account of: 因为
Why the sudden change of heart?: 这里Blair看到Chuck和Vanessa好像有点来真的了，就跑去跟C说“不赌了，不玩了”，C就问她“你为什么突然改主意了？”
beneath us both: 有失我们的身份，降低我们的水准
kill: (1)这里表示做个了断，跟后面那个go through with是一个意思，都表示结束，完成，把……进心到底。(2) to finish, to turn off，比如关灯，关电脑，关引擎等，都可以用kill. 后面Lily与Serena和好如初那段，Lily问Bart“你没让记者发表那篇文章吧”，说这句话的时候，Lily用的就是You killed the story, don’t you? (3) kill还可以表示很厉害，很在行的意思，比如一个人穿了一件很迷人的衣服，就叫做dress to kill，某个人在某方面很在行，那么他就是这方面的killer, 所以很讨女人喜欢的男人，就是lady killer.

Lily: Eric, my darling, you are always honest with me. It isn't true, is it?

rub my nose in it: Chuck去酒吧找店主，店主说“干嘛，你故意过来示威/看我的落魄样子？”这里的rub my nose in it指戳某人的痛楚，揭某人的伤疤。s02e04的笔记里曾经用到Blair对Serena说过的一句话"Why do you think I rub it in Chuck's face every chance I get？",这句话里的rub it in one's face也有同样的意思。外中文说的“在我眼皮底下”，英文叫做do something right under my nose
fall for: 轻信，fall for somebody表示爱上某人
