1.I can't find anything in here!

词汇点拨：here在这里做名词用，意思是这里，in here是介词短语，意思是“在这里”。

2.Well, it might help if you unpacked.

句型点拨：It might help. 意思是“这样有好处。”

3.Look, you're home now. It's your life. You should start living it.

词汇点拨：look作为动词，是“看”的意思，在这里是做为语气词，意思是“听着”。例如：

Look! I just give me the last chance to tell me the truth.（听着，我就给你最后一次机会说出事实的真相。）

词汇点拨：home在这里是做副词用，be home是“系动词+副词”这个结构，意思是“回家”。例如：

I will be home to do my homework.（我将回到家中后再写作业。）

短语结构点拨：start + V + ing这短语结构的意思是“开始做某事”，start后面接的是动名词。例如：

I need to start playing the piano.（我必须开始谈钢琴了。）

句意理解：you should start living it中的it指代前面提到的it is your life中的life，live your life意思是“过你的生活，过你的日子”。

4.This is not life. This is a hotel which we're living in because you decided you didn't like the color of the walls in our real home.

词汇点拨：decide有“决定”的意思，也有“判断”的意思。例如：Her argument decided the issue⁵ in his favor⁶.（她的论据促成问题的解决对他有利。）在这里可以理解为“认为”。

文法点拨：which we are living in是定语从句修饰表示地点hotel这个先行词，它在定语从句中做介词in的宾语。像这样的结构，我们可以把介词in放置在引导词which的前面，即“in which we are living”。例如：

This is my university at which I stayed when I was at 18.（这是我曾经18岁的时候就读过的大学。）

词汇点拨：in our real home意思是“在我们真正的家中”，home在这里做名词用，意思是“家，家庭”。

5.Mom, I said I'd go to this brunch. What more do you want from me?

短语结构点拨：go to this brunch意思是“参加这次早午餐”，其结构是go + to + 事物或事件，它表示去参加...... 类似的结构还有：go to the wedding（参加这次婚礼），go to the party（参加派对）等等。

短语点拨：want sth from sb意思是“从某人那里得到什么”。例如：

They tried to want some inside informations from me.（他们试图想从我这里得到内幕消息。）

句型点拨：what more + 主语+ 谓语表达的意思是“某人还需要......”，它带有一种强烈的讨厌，反感的意味在其中。例如：

What more will you want to know to diagnose⁷ this problem?（要弄清这个问题，你还需要知道些什么？）

What more can you wish for?（你究竟还想得到什么呢?）

What more he was, or what else he had in him, if anything, let him show for himself.（他还是什么，还有什么别的可取之处，假定还有的话，就让他自己来表白一下吧。）

6.Sweetie, why are you being like this?

文法点拨：“系动词+系动词的现在式”这个结构表示“目前正在处于的状况”，are being like this是指“处于这样（散漫）的状况”，它强调和体现出“现在这时候”这个时间性，并不指“今后”。例如：

I am being your friend.（我现在是你的朋友。）

7.Ok, tell me, so did you and Dan have fun at the concert last night?

短语点拨：have fun意思是“玩得很高兴”。例如：

Until the grown-ups come to fetch us we'll have fun.（在大人找来之前，咱们在这儿尽情玩耍。）

Did you have fun with your schoolmates⁸ for the weekend?（和校友一起度周末开心吗？）

短语点拨：at the concert翻译为中文是“在音乐会上”，它是强调“在听音乐会的过程中”，所以介词用at，不要用其他的介词。

8.We, um, never made it. We actually ended up at the kiss on the lips party.

词汇点拨：make在这里的意思是“成功做（某事）”。例如：

There is a wonderful speech held last night but I cannot make it because of traffic jam.（做完有一场非常精彩的演说，由于交通堵塞我能听到。）

短语点拨：end up意思是“结束，告终”，它可以单独使用，也可以在后面加上名词。例如：

Somebody like you could end up a goat.（象你这样的人最后可能变成替罪羊。）

If you continue to steal you'll end up in prison.（你要是继续行窃终归得进监狱。）

9.Well, that must have pleased Blair.

词汇点拨：please在这里做为动词用，意思是“使高兴”。

语法点拨：must have pleased是情态动词must的虚拟与其用法，它的结构是must+现在完成时，表示对过去的事情的可定猜测。

10.Not that pleased, which is why I'm going to talk to her.

词汇点拨：that在这里的副词，pleased在这是形容词，意思是“高兴的”。that作为副词修饰形容词。

语法点拨：which is why I am going to talk to her是非限定性定语从句，它起到的作用是补充说明前面提到的事情的内容或原因，引导词指代前面的整个句子提到的情况。这里which指代Blair is not the pleased。

11.Well just be back in time for brunch, okay?

短语点拨：in time是“及时”的意思，in time for something意思是“按时，及时去做某事”。例如：

We must in time for school.（我们必须按时上课。）

12.Look, honey. I know how hard it is for you to be back, but the more you hide yourself away, the more people are gonna think, you have something to hide.

句型点拨：It is hard for sb to do sth意思是对于某人来说做某事很艰难或困难。例如：

It is very hard for me to aced⁹ it in the final exams.（在期末考试中的每一科目得100分对于我来说很难。）

句型点拨：The more... the more意思是“越是......就越是......”。它属于符合句子。使用的时候，它后面可以直接跟句子，也可以在more后面接形容词或副词的比较级在接句子。例如：

The more he learns, the more he wants to learn.（他越学越想学。）

The more harder you work, the more greater progress you made. （你越是努力学，你的进步就越大。）

短语点拨：hide away是一个固定短语，意思是“包庇”或“隐藏”。例如：

Give me a reason Why you hide away so much inside.（为什么你将众多的秘密藏于心底？）

Why do you hide your opinion away from me? （你为什么对我隐瞒你的观点呢？）

Do you propose¹⁰ to hide yourself away in the country for the rest of your life, then?（那么，你打算你的余生将躲在乡下过么？）

13.Coming from someone who's keeping my brother in an institution.

短语点拨：keep sb + 表是地点的介词短语表示把某人藏着某处。例如：

I think I need to hide my children in your house for the time being.（我认为目前我得把孩子们放在你的家中。）

语法点拨：who's keeping my brother in an institution是定语从句修饰前面表示人的不定代词someone，它在定语从句中做主语，关系代词必须要用who，不能用that。
