Richard: Hey, beautiful. You get lost.
Lily: I'm sorry I'm late. I couldn't find parking.
Richard: That's what the valet's for.
Lily: Right, but it also costs $2,and I just spent that on gas.
Richard: Here to hit dad up for some cash?   ,valet: 原本是仆人的意思，这里是指那些帮忙停车的侍者。另外注意一下that’s what the…for这样的用法，表示“……就是用来干……的”

Lily: You hung up the phone with me, and you called her? You didn't even give me a chance to explain.

Cece: Actually, your father did make a call to the school.
Richard: I told them what had been happening at home, about your sister taking off, your mother and I splitting up. I explained that it was an isolated, uncharacteristic act of rebellion. They're willing to turn your expulsion into a suspension.  ,take off: 离开，离家出走。口语里take off通常就是leave的意思，而不是起飞，而且通常用进行时I’m taking off.(我要走了，我要离开了，我要出发了)
split up: 分手，break up
expulsion: 开除，更加口语的说法是get kicked out of school
suspension: 留校看察,4.
Serena: My mother didn't think that I was old enough to make my own decisions, so I decided to stay in jail, and I'm not leaving until she agrees to let me live my own life.
Blair: So it's a war of attrition.
Serena: So to speak.
Blair: Except she gets to wage the war from the fort of her penthouse while you remain behind bars.  ,war of attrition: 消耗战，发生在以色列和埃及之间的一场战争（感兴趣的可以搜索“消耗战 1868年”），用在这里是形容S和她妈妈之间的母女之战。
so to speak: 可以这么说
penthouse: 顶楼的豪华公寓
behind bars: 蹲监狱，bar本意是栅栏，在栅栏后面(behind bars)，当然就是蹲监狱的意思了。

Cece: Oh, what a restorative nap that was. I feel so much better.
Lily: Well, I'm afraid that moment is not going to last.
Cece: Eric’s out of earshot?
Lily: I sent him to a movie with Jonathan.
Cece: So no one can hear me scream. You're gonna what, lily, hack me to pieces, suffocate me with a pillow?  ,restorative: 有助恢复元气的。我觉得restorative这种单词是比较难记也比较难用的，这类单词的特点就是表达方式和中文完全不一样。比如同样一句话，中文说“睡了一个午觉，让我神清气爽，体力也恢复了”，于是英文我们就会按照中文习惯翻成”a nap makes me…”, 但其实英文用一个restorative nap就搞定了。earshot: 听力所及之范围，out of earshot就表示听不见的意思
hack me to pieces: 把我大卸八块，hack就是砍的意思。
suffocate: 使窒息，这里是说用枕头把我闷死。,6.
Cece: Your sister was rebellious and ungrateful for my love, and look where she ended up.

from where I’m sitting: 从我的角度来说，就我看来……

Lily: See what?
Owen: The family resemblance.

Blair: This is low, even for you. I can't believe you did this, Chuck. You know how important prom is to me!
Serena: Blair, what's wrong? I caught him with these.  They're all marked with Nelly Yuki's name. He's sabotaging me.
low: 低级的，整句话的意思就是“即使对你来说，这也太低级了吧”,sabotage: 暗中破坏  ,10.
