8. Dan: Did you, uh, did you think of going today?
Rufus: To the funeral? Nah.
Dan: Why not? I mean, you're one of Lily's oldest friends.
Rufus: No, I know. It's just better this way.

It's just better this way: 這樣就可以了，就這樣吧。

9. Nate: You're really sweet with him.
Blair: Me? Sweet? No.
Nate: No, you are. I mean, worrying about him, offering him food. It's downright maternal.
Blair: I'm not maternal. I've just been spending too much time with Cyrus, and I'm turning Jewish.

It's downright maternal: downright相當(dāng)于absolutely, maternal表示母性的意思。這里Nate說Blair“母性大爆發(fā)”，有時候中文里我們也會說“母愛泛濫”，這里的母愛英文對應(yīng)的單詞就是maternal. 大家可以注意一下后面Blair的回答，我覺得蠻有趣的，調(diào)侃了Cyrus一下。

10. Cece: Excuse me, may I please steal my daughter for a moment?
Lily: Mother, if you want to talk, now is not the time.
Cece: What does chuck know?
Lily: Did you not hear what I just said? He knows something about you and Rufus. You should find out what.
Lily: Mother, I just came from burying my husband. I do not have the time, inclination or frankly, the mental capacity to go head-to-head with chuck.

steal: 這個單詞在聚會場景里經(jīng)常聽到，如果你要把某人從正在談話的人群里拉出來，就可以用這個句型。類似的還有Can you guys excuse us for a moment? / May I borrow her? / Can I have a word with you?(這句話通常是對方單獨一個人的時候使用)
now is not the (good) time: 現(xiàn)在不是好時機(通常潛臺詞是“我現(xiàn)在心情不好，不要打擾我”)
have the inclination to: 興致，傾向
go head-to-head with: 正面沖突

11. Eric: I just lost my stepfather. I don't want to lose my brother, too.
Chuck: When are you going to get it? We are not related.

We are not related: 我們沒有血緣關(guān)系

12. Cece: Andrew Tyler was just here.
Lily: Bart's P.I.? Don't tell me he was here to pay his respects.
Cece: No, he wanted me to pay him. He knows about the hospital in France.

P.I.: Private Investigator, 私家偵探
pay his respect: 這里是哀悼死者的意思，通常也說pay last respect to someone. 這里的私家偵探掌握了Lily的秘密，所以借此要勒索他們，所以后面Cece說的pay是付錢的意思，這里用了pay的兩個用法，大家可以注意一下。

13. Lily: You have to stop him.
Cece: Do I? I'm not sure.
Lily: You can't be serious. Well, after all this time, now you decide that the right thing to do is to tell the truth?
Cece: The truth is out. That changes everything, doesn't it?
Lily: No, it doesn't have to.
Cece: There could be no better time for a clean slate.
Lily: There could be no worse time, mother. This is the last thing I want to come out. Pay him.

The truth is out: 這里的“泄漏”用out就可以搞定了，很簡潔的說法。后面出現(xiàn)的come out，表示真相大白，用人做主語的話，就表示坦白的意思。此外，come out還有一個特殊含義表示“出柜”，就是某人坦白自己是gay的身份的話，英文就是he came out.
clean slate: an opportunity to start over without prejudice

14. Cece: What are you going to do about the fact that you're in love with Rufus Humphrey?
Lily: Well, I'm not sure I'm gonna do anything, At least not right away.
Cece: So you are in love with him? I was fishing.
Lily: Oh. Well, you caught me. Considering the circumstances, I have tried with all of my strength to fight it. It is a curse I do not wish on my worst enemy. But I love Rufus.
Serena: So that's why chuck was so upset.
Lily: Serena. Let me explain
Serena: Don't bother. You love Rufus. You always have.

I was fishing: 我詐你的。fish做動詞，表示to catch or try to catch fish, 引申含義就是To seek something in a sly or indirect way.
You caught me: 被你看穿了。
You always have: 那句經(jīng)典的”I love you. Always have, always will.” 很多臺詞里都引用過。

15. Serena: Hey, you're gonna be fighting me for that neck pillow when your chin is on your chest and there's drool all over your shirt.
Aaron: How did you know that I drool?

drool: 可作名詞也可作動詞，流口水的意思。中文里當(dāng)你饞涎某件東西的時候，我們會說“看著都流口水了”，英文里就是drool over something. 口水還可以說saliva和water, 不過saliva是醫(yī)學(xué)用語，相當(dāng)于“唾液”。英文中說something is mouth-watering, 意思就是讓人垂涎三尺的意思。
