加入Gossip Girl小组参与剧情讨论>>1. - Look, she need time to decompress from her breakup anyway.- Covering for me works for her, too.- Let’s go to my place before somebody spots us.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.cover: to help someone out by1) 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 excuse3) 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.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.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.
《绯闻女孩》第一季学习笔记(全)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?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".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.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?- 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。
