【跟着美剧练发音】Gossip Girl33

S:Hi, so you're off to Yale?

B:Your deductive reasoning skills are perfect for a place like Brown.

S:A place like Brown?

B:An enclave of trust afarians and children of celebrities¹ who major in drum circles and semiotics, whatever that is. I can't wait for you to come home next thanksgiving a militant² veganista, anemic and proud.

S:Brown is an Ivy³ League school.

B:Everyone knows that the only real Ivies⁴ are the holy trinity -- Harvard, Yale and Princeton.

S:I know you may find this hard to believe , but not everyone wants to go to Yale because not everyone wants to be Blair Waldorf.

B:Not everyone can be. Since we're not friends anymore, let me speak frankly⁵. You're not that smart. You lack focus and discipline. Charm is all well and good, but in the real world,knowledge is power. You wouldn't make it past the first round of admissions at Yale,no matter how hard you tried. Have fun in providence⁶. Oh, and, you know, maybe you can get your hair dreadlocked while you're there.

Gossip Girl:Gossip girl's hardly a war buff, but I did cram⁷ for a quiz or two on the american revolution. The last time New Haven⁸ was invaded was in 1779. 

S:Hey, mom. change of plans. Tell the driver we're going to Yale.

Gossip Girl:Heads up, B.There's a cannonball coming your way.
