WORDS & EXPRESSIONS

1.
Chuck: Archibald, I haven't seen you around here lately.
Nate: Why do you care?
Chuck: Oh, I don't. If you're not with the Humphreys anymore, obviously things are looking up, which is too bad. I kind of liked watching you slum it. I thought it would teach you who your real friends were.

Things are looking up: 情况在好转，越来越乐观
slum: 名词是贫民窟的意思，这里做动词用，过着贫民的生活

2.
Dan: So what are you doing for your holiday?
Vanessa: I decided to pass on joining my family at the Washoe reservation, where they're helping to stage a protest. And my plan is to hole myself up in my studio, rent "Berlin Alexanderplatz" and eat a frozen Annie's organic turkey dinner.

pass on: 相当于skip, 不做什么事情了，不要什么东西了。比如说“甜点我就不要了”，就可以说I'll pass on dessert.
hole up: 想象一下动物冬眠(hibernate)时候躲在洞里的那个样子，与世隔绝，不接电话，不回短信。这个单词有点“宅在家里”的意思。

3.
Captain: My life in Dominica is...well, it's good. We moved some money offshore before I left, enough to get a house on the ocean. Weather's always perfect. People are nice.
Nate: I'm so happy you're living it up in the Caribbean while we're squatting with no heat in New York.
Nate's Mom: Hear your father out, Nate

live it up: 纵情欢乐，过奢华的生活
squat: 蹲做着，缩成一团
Hear your father out: 仔细挺好了，注意加了介词out语气强了很多。

4.
Lily: I didn't know she was there until today. I called Serena. She didn't even know. Eric must have been sneaking her in at night.

sneak: 偷偷带进来，sneak out是偷偷溜出去的意思，出现频率很高的一个词组

5.
Rufus: If I want to see her, you're not gonna change my mind.
Lily: I'm not trying to. It's just that I haven't seen jenny yet, let me talk to her, see where her head is at.

see where her head is at: 听听她的想法，看看她脑子里都在想些什么

6.
Blair: A woman needs to be with a man who thinks of only her. Anything else is a nonstarter. Tell him how you feel.

nonstarter: An idea, proposal, or candidate with no chance of being accepted or successful.这句话有点像中文说的“只有……才是真的，除此之外，其他都是空的，其他都是废话”
