1.Spotted——N. and B. hot and heavy in the halls of the Palace Hotel, only to find S. already waiting.

习语点拨：hot and heavy是一条习惯用语，其意思是“猛烈的，猛烈的”。例如：

Their fight by words becomes hot and heavy.（他们的口角变得越来越激烈。）

短语结构点拨：find somebody doing something意思是发现某人正在做某事，注意somebody的后面接现在分词，做somebody的补足语。句中说到的是find S waiting意思是“发现Serena正在等候（Nate）的到来”。例如：

The teacher found Nancy reading English when he came in .（老师走进来的时候，Nancy正在读英语。）

拓展点拨：find somebody do something和find somebody doing something的区别如下：

find sb do something是发现某人做某事的全过程，强调过程，相当于“Sb is found to do something”，表示somebody做的事情已经做完了，意思是“发现了某人做某事”。

find somebody doing something是发现某人正在做某事，强调正在进行之中，意思是“发现某人正在做某事”。例如：

I found an old man lie outside just now.（我发现他刚才在外面躺着。）

短语点拨：only to do something是一个固定短语，它的意思是“不料，竟然”“没想到会...... 不料竟会......”。例如：

She turned up the driveway, only to find her way blocked.（他开上自家车道，不料发现路被堵。）

He studied hard, only to fail in the exam.（他这么用功，结果竟然考场失利。）

2.Sparks were flying for sure, but will it be a 3-way or D-day?

短语点拨：for sure意思是“肯定地，确定地，毫无疑问地”。例如：

You can't say for sure that it won't rain tomorrow. （明天难保不下雨。）

No one knows for sure what happened to Bill.（没有人确切知道比尔出了什么事。）

词汇点拨：D-day用于美国口语中，是指“特别重要的日子”“计划行动（如军事进攻）开始日”“（预定采取某项重大行动的）起始日”。例如：

As D-day approached we still weren't ready to move house.（日子快到了, 我们还没准备好搬家。）

3.Do not defend her.

4.Oh, so you do want to talk to her.

语法点拨：do在这里是助动词，起到强调的作用，通常翻译为“确实，的确”，根据不同的情景进行翻译。句中的到的do want to talk to her是指Nate还是就是要与Serena交往，不顾Blair的反对。

5.Maybe I'll leave you two to finish that fascinating conversation.

语法点拨：you two意思是“你俩”。其中的two是做you的同位语。

词汇点拨：leave在这里的意思是“许可，准许”。

弦外之音：fascinating是“迷你的，有强烈吸引力的”的意思，conversation是“非正式的会话”的意思，fascinating conversation意思就是“迷人的对话”，这里是比喻为“甜蜜浓浓或水乳相交的恋人之间的情话”。

6.Let you guys get back to your quickie.

短语点拨：get back to something的意思是“回到......”。例如：

I think you are getting off the subject. Could we get back to the main point, please?（我觉得你跑题了。我们能不能回到主题上来？）

8.I'll bet your new friend, Dan, would love to hear all about how classy you are.
