Isabel: To be honest, Blair, none of us are that into 5:00 a.m. Trash duty. I think we're gonna sit this one out.

Agent: Well, I could never do anything unprofessional. But sometimes I do leave a file unattended when I go to get a drink. There's some bottled water in the fridge. Are you thirsty?

unattended: not being attended to, looked after, or watched. 注意“我会把文件落下”可以用unattended这样比较简洁的表达方式。
parch: to become very dry

8.
Vanessa: So you ratted on Blair? You Templeton.
Dan: A "Charlotte's Web"-sult? That's very cute. And, no, technically, I did not rat on Blair. I just told Rachel to put the squeeze on the weakest of her kilted cronies.
Vanessa: And what does Serena think of you getting her best friend expelled?
Dan: The moment Blair involves me in her schemes, the "boyfriend of the b.f.f." clause is officially null and void.

Queller: Miss Waldorf, this meeting is closed to students.

Harold: I saw a different side of you last night, and I'm disappointed.

Blair: Yale was on the line.
