《緋聞女孩》第一季學(xué)習(xí)筆記(全)

5.- Eleanor returns next week, and we are still behind. Now since I have to go to that party this weekend, I won’t be around, and therefore, neither will you.
- You can’t be finished.


behind: 指的是behind the schedule, 落后,晚了。口語(yǔ)里可以簡(jiǎn)單的就說(shuō)behind.
I won’t be around.: 我一直都不在。注意around比here要地道。
You can’t be finished.: 你完成不了的。 用的是被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。

6.The only thing lamer than dating Dan Humphrey is mourning Dan Humphrey. And the only reason you’re still sitting shivah is because you haven’t gotten back out there and had your summer fling.

lame: 這個(gè)單詞太常用了。在這里表示“傻,愚蠢”,它還可以表示“無(wú)趣”,比如冷笑話就是lame joke. 你說(shuō)一個(gè)人He’s lame,就是說(shuō)He is no fun.
mourn和shivah都是哀悼的意思,shivah源自shiva, 猶太教里它指七日服喪期。

fling: deliberately short-term sexual relationship between two people. Longer than a one-night stand, not as serious-sounding as "affair". No deep personal involvement required, just the sex and a bit of attention.
