簡介：B想方設法讓她的母親遠離Cyrus Rose。Jenny和Agnes住到了一起。S和Aaron相戀了。Dan和Chuck開戰，因為Dan對他的父親Bart Bass很有興趣。
1. Blair: Cyrus has been one of my mom's attorneys since the divorce. He asked her out when they first met, but she didn't wanna mix business with pleasure. Finally, his amorous overtures wore her down, and she agreed to dinner. She's been smitten ever since.
amorous: 多情的，含情脈脈的，詞根是拉丁語的amor，表示愛。
overture: 建議，行為
wear her down: wear down本身的含義表示“使某人筋疲力盡”，這里表示“難以抵擋對方的窮追猛打”。注意還有個詞組叫做wear off, 表示消失，減弱。后面有一段Jenny在酒吧找到Agnes, Agnes說If my hangover ever wears off. (如果我的頭疼好一點的話)
smitten: smite的過去分詞(smite - smote - smitten). 對一個人的迷戀。后面Aaron的老爸見到Serena,他對S說You know, I think he(Aaron) is quite smitten with you.正是因為他的這句話，S大受鼓舞，就跑去Aaron的工作室找他了。
2. Serena: Oh, uh, Aaron's amazing. He's been sending me these maps to the most beautiful places. The other day I ended up in a private room in the cloisters overlooking the gardens.
Blair: Spare them the details, Serena. Hazel will kill herself from envy.
cloister: 修道院
Spare them the details: 細節就不用說了，注意spare的用法，表示省略，省下。這里提到的Hazel很好玩，前面B說要見她媽媽的男朋友，Hazel一臉怨婦狀的說"Even moms have boyfriends, and I don't." 后面在B的生日會上，她又問起S和Aaron的事情，S說 "He's not exactly my boyfriend." Hazel馬上就跟了一句You mean he's free? 這個時候Blair就說"Hazel Hazel, I can hear your desperation from the other room."
3. Manager: Who do you imagine your client will be?
Jenny: Girls like us. Sophisticated girls with a bit of edge who can afford high-end product, and I know these girls and their style because I'm their peer, so that's what makes me unique as a designer.
Manager: Hmm. What's the name of the label?
edge: 這個以前講過的，就是前衛的，新潮的
high-end: 高端
label: 品牌。名牌貨就叫做label, 或者designer bag/cloths. 電影Sex and the City里的主題曲就叫做Labels or Love, Fergie唱的，很有意思的一首歌曲，有興趣的可以看這里，我在里面還加了一個音頻文件，專門介紹各種品牌的正確英文讀法。
4. Jenny: We haven't fully decided yet, clearly, but, uh, it really doesn't matter, 'cause we're just here to take the work to the next level.
take the work to the next level: 更上一層樓，更進一步，可以用來形容工作、關系等等方面。
5. Agnes: I mean, if Mr. Smith here wants to represent us, then he should know who he's dealing with.
Jenny: Except Mr. Smith might get the wrong idea about our professionalism.
Agnes: Well, then cut the crap and start acting professional
deal with: You have no idea what you’re dealing with. 你根本不知道事情到底是什么樣子的，你根本不清楚狀況。deal with是很常用的一個詞組，大家可以學習一下。
get the wrong idea about: 誤解，誤會，口語里好像很少用misunderstanding.
cut the crap: 少廢話，也可以說cut the bullshit或者cut it out.
