台词详解:

1.Hey, upper east siders, gossip girl here.

点拨:这里的side是“behaviour showing that one thinks one is better than others; arrogance”的意思,译为“自大”“傲慢”。这是美国旧时候的口头用语言,非正式书面用语。Upper是“上层的”的意思。

剧情领悟:upper east sider就是指“曼哈顿东区的上层社会的自大傲慢的人”,也开始说为“富贵闲人”。

2.I have the biggest news ever.

点拨:big在这里是“important”(重大的,重要的)的意思。例如:I made a big decision to go back to my farm instead of the city.(我做出了个重大的决定会到我的农场工作,不在城市工作了。)

剧情领悟:have the biggest news意思就是“有最劲爆的新闻”“有最重要的新闻”。这里体现出了绯闻女孩的重要性,体现出来她的工作性质。

3.One of my sources, Melanie91, sends us this... spotted at grand central, bags in hand... Serena van Der Woodsen.

点拨1:source是“来源,出处”的意思,在这里可以理解为绯闻女孩的“消息,新闻的提供者”。Spot是“认出”的意思。Send sb sth意思发送什么东西给某人。例如:Please send your e-mail to me.(请把你的邮件发送给我。)

剧情领悟:spotted at grand central意思是Serena在中央车站被绯闻女孩的一号线人Melanie认出来,然后Melanie用手机将Serena拍摄下来群发给曼哈顿东区的富贵闲人。Serena van Der Woodsen是贯穿这部美剧的一重要角色。

点拨2:in hand是个固定短语,意思是“在手中”。例如:The infernal little brute started going all over the house revolver in hand.(这个凶恶的小畜生握着枪开始满屋子跑。)这个手上是指身体部位,那么“在手中”还可以指“手上所有”(多指经济状况或工作状况。)例如:I am lacking of money in hand.(我手头缺钱用。)I have enough data in hand.

(我手上有足够的资料。)

4.Was it only a year ago our "it" girl mysteriously disappeared for quote boarding school?

点拨1:disappear for在这里是“消失去哪儿”的意思。例如:My mother disappeared for a wild county to live.(我的妈妈消失了,去了一个荒野的乡村生活。)

点拨2:quote是“引用”的意思。在这里可以理解为“为人们所言的”,相当于“people are quoted as saying”。例如:She is quoted as saying she disagrees with the decision. 用她的话说,,她不同意这一决定。

点拨3:boarding school是指供膳宿的学校。

5.And just as suddenly, she’s back.

点拨:just as是个固定短语,意思是“同样地”“正如”的意思。例如:Don't touch it, leave it just as it is now. (别碰它,让它保持原样。)

剧情领悟:Just as suddenly意思就是“同样地,突然间”。 因为Serena是突然消失,现在又是突然出现,这两种情况都在时间上都具有共性,就是“突然性”,所以这里用just as。

5.See for yourselves.

点拨:see for oneself是个固定短语,意思是“某人亲眼去看,某人自己去看”。例如:I urge you to go and see for yourselves how much China has done in this respect.(我恳请你们到中国来,亲身体验中国在这方面所做的工作。)

6.Lucky for us, Melanie91 sent proof.

点拨:lucky for sb意思“某人很幸运”。例如:It is luck for us to catch the train.(我们很幸运赶上了火车。)
