【重点讲解】
简介：时间倒回到80年代，17岁的Lily被赶出了寄宿制学校，回到了洛杉矶重新和家人呆在一起。再看看如今，Blai和Nate一起参加舞会，但是事情的发展并不像Chuck计划的那么完美……
1. 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”
hit someone up: to ask someone for a loan of money or for some other favor
2. Lily: You hung up the phone with me, and you called her? You didn't even give me a chance to explain.
Cece: That's because he would have to parent, and we know he always leaves "bad cop" to me.
hang up the phone: （没等对方说完就）挂电话
bad cop: 中文说的红脸白脸，英文就是good cop, bad cop
3. 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 comfort 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。
