Blair或许是让我做了一些事，但我很愿意帮忙。

Rufus: And if she happens to help you out with an invite and outfit¹?

如果她帮你搞定了请柬和服装?

Jenny: It’ll all be worth it. Everyone in disguise in this old ballroom² it's gonna be amazing, you know, I’m actually surprised Serena didn't mention it.

那就很值得了,所有人都乔装打扮，在这间古老的舞厅，一定会非常精彩的。其实我很惊讶Serena竟然没提过。

Dan: Why? We've only been out twice. It's not like all of a sudden,we have to do everything together.

为什么? 我们才出去过两次，又不是说突然之间，我们什么事都要一起做。

Rufus :All right, well I gotta go deliver this stuff. Let me know if you need me to pick you up a tux.

是啊，好了，我该走了，把这个送过去。要是需要我帮你选礼服就告诉我一声。

Dan: What? It's a masked ball.

怎么了? 是化装舞会。

I’m sure she thinks I’d never go to something that pretentious³, which shows she knows me well.

我肯定她知道我从没参加过这么虚伪的活动，也就说明她很了解我。

Serena: I know him. a masked ball?

我了解他，化装舞会?

Dan would never want to go to something that pretentious, where he has to wear a mask and a tux?

Dan永远都不会想参加那种虚伪的活动的，要他戴面具，还要穿礼服。

Blair: He likes you. He would wear a tux and a mask and one of my mother's dresses if it meant that he could go out with you.

他喜欢你，他就会愿意穿礼服戴面具。而且为了能够和你出去约会,就算是我妈妈的礼服,他也会穿的。

Come on, what are you worried that he already has a date? I mean, he is Dan Humphrey.

怎么，你担心他已经有约会了? 我是说，他可是Dan Humphrey啊。

Serena: Shut up. I don't know. I guess a masked ball is better than a regular party，because then all those kids from school that he hates, she won't even recognize them.

闭嘴，我不知道。我想化装舞会是比一般的派对要有意思，因为至少那些学校里让他讨厌的人，他会认不出来。

Blair: All right. invite him, insist.

没错，请他来，我坚持。

Dan: I’m not saying I wouldn't go. If Serena asked me, I wouldn't deprive her of my company.

我不是说我不会去，如果Serena请我的话，我不能放弃和她一起的机会。

是啊，那就太残忍了。

Dan: But she hasn't asked me, so...

可是她没问我所以...

如果你想和她一起去，那就想办法实现，放开架子。
