Nate: Nice to meet you. Dad.

　　Howie：Hey, can I get you a drink?

　　Blair：What are you doing right now?

　　Nate: Well, I was just gonna…

　　Blair：How about me?

　　Nate: Um...

　　Blair：What? You have a better offer or...

　　Nate: No, of course not.

　　Blair：Yeah?

　　Nate: Uh, now?

　　Blair：Now. Now.

　　Nate: Where are we going?

　　Blair：I got us the best room in the whole place.

　　Nate: Wait. This is chuck's suite.

　　Serena：Nate.

　　Blair：Serena?

　　Serena：Blair.

　　Gossip Girl：Spotted：N and B. Hot and heavy in the halls of the Palace Hotel. Only to find S already waiting. Sparks were flying for sure but will it be a 3-way or D-day?

　　Blair：What is she doing here?

　　Serena：I was meeting nate.

　　Nate: Just to talk, I swear.

　　Blair：You said you'd never speak to her again.

　　Serena：You said that? Why would you say that?

　　Blair：Because you can't be trusted.

　　Nate: It's not Serena's fault.

　　Blair：Do not defend her.

　　Nate: I asked her to come.

　　Blair：Oh. Oh, so you do want to talk to her.

　　Nate: Yes, to explain why I'm not talking to her.

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

　　Serena：Oh, no, no. I'll go. Let you guys get back to your quickie.

　　Blair：It wasn't a quickie. Sex is actually kind of a big deal to some of us.

　　Serena：Oh yeah, I can see that. Chuck's bed? Very romantic. Classy too.

　　Blair：Oh, like you? I'll bet your new friend Dan would love to hear all about how classy you are.

　　Serena：Dan? What...you really think she would tell him?

　　Nate: It's Blair.

　　Serena：I can't believe you told her.

　　Nate: You just expected me to keep it a secret?

　　Serena：Yes Nate. There's nothing wrong with keeping a secret if the truth is gonna hurt someone.

　　Nate: That's a hell of a way

　　Serena：Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize all of a sudden you're the most honest guy on the planet.

　　********************

　　Bart：Well, it just seems to me that you're the one that doesn't want to be seen together in public.

　　Lily：No, I do want. I just don't want to see you with anyone else. Tell your harem of shopgirls and models that you're seeing someone.

　　Bart：I am, but those conversations take a little time.

　　Lily：Well, they've got nothing but time Bart. They're 25. Excuse me. Dan, wait. Look, I really don't appreciate your lurking in the shadows,eavesdropping on my private conversation.

　　Dan: What? No. No, I wasn't.I was looking for Serena.

　　Lily：Well, I don't see her. Do you?

　　Dan: No, which is why I was looking…?

　　Lily：I don't know what you're doing here or what you think you heard...

　　Dan: Nothing. I heard nothing.

[page]分页标题[/page]

　　Lily：But Serena doesn't know.

　　Dan: And neither do I, okay? So now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go back inside. Not tell anyone a thing and mind my own business.

　　*********

　　Blair: Dan. Hi. I'm Blair Waldorf. Serena's friend.

　　Dan: Oh hey. Yeah, do you happen to know where she is?

　　Blair: As a matter of fact, I do.

　　Serena: Blair.

　　Dan: Serena, there you are.Where were you?

　　Blair: She was waiting in a hotel room for my boyfriend.

　　Serena: To talk.

　　Nate: About why we weren't talking.

　　Blair: That doesn't sound any smarter the second time.

　　Dan: Why weren't you talking? Does this have anything to do with why you were waiting for serena this morning?

　　Blair: You were what?

　　Chuck: And here I thought you were waiting for me.

　　Dan: Oh, exactly what the situation is, Chuck? Now what is going on here?

　　Blair: We were just getting into that.

　　Serena: Blair, please don't do this.

　　Blair: Sorry. Or do you wanna tell him?

　　Chuck: I'll tell him.

　　Nate & Blair: You know?

　　Chuck: I know everything.

　　Dan: And apparently, I know nothing.

　　Serena: Look Dan, it was a long time ago and I regret it.

　　Chuck: Look Serena. Stop trying to pretend you're a good girl. So you slept with your best friend's boyfriend. I kind of admire you for it.

　　Dan: Is that true?

　　Blair: Well, then she ran away and lied about it. I just thought you should know before you fall head over heels for your perfect girl and her perfect world and then get left all alone with no one but your cabbage patch kid.

　　Nate：Cabbage patch?

　　Dan: Did you talk to my sister?

　　Chuck: Ah yes, little Jenny. I do believe she and I have some unfinished business.

　　Dan: You stay away from her.

　　Chuck: Poor Daniel. So little time.So many sluts to defend.

　　Dan: It's fine. It's fine. Everyone can stop looking. He's a jerk...But it's my fault and I'm leaving.

　　Serena: I'll go with you.

　　Dan: Actually I'd prefer if you didn't.

　　Nate：Hope you're happy.

　　Blair: Not even close.

　　Chuck: Looks like it's just you and me. Apparently my room is available.

　　Gossip Girl：Some might call this a "fustercluck." But on the upper east side, we call it sunday afternoon.

　　**************

　　Serena: Dan, wait. I'm so sorry.

　　Dan: There's no-There's no need to be. Really I shouldn't have come here today. I made a mistake.

　　Serena: No, you didn't. Look, I'm sorry about Blair and Chuck…

　　Dan: It's not about Blair or Chuck. I mean it is but it's-it's not just them.

　　Serena: No, I know. Trust me, I know. This world it's crazy.

　　Dan: Yeah, it is...And you're a part of it.

　　Serena: What, and you didn't know that?

　　Dan: I don't know. I thought you were different.[page]分页标题[/page]

　　Serena: Well, I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I was. But what's happened is in the past.You know and all I can do is try to change. But if you can't accept that.Then you know, you're not who I thought you were. Well, I guess we both made mistakes.

　　**************

　　Jenny: Hi.

　　Rufus: Hey, Jen said you went looking for Serena. Did you find her?

　　Dan: Mm. Yeah I found her and-and I lost her.

　　Rufus: Oh that's, uh...

　　Dan: It's fine. It's fine. Really, it's all for the best. Serena and her friends and her family. Her whole world. Turns out it wasn't for me.

　　Jenny: Wait Dan. What happened?

　　Dan: Did you tell Blair Waldorf about Cedric?

　　Jenny: I... It may have come up.

　　Dan: You can't trust these people Jen. Don't tell 'em anything. They're nice flowers.

　　Jenny: They're hydrangeas.

　　**************

　　Nate: Look Blair. Either you try to forgive me and move on or we end it.

　　**************

　　Serena：Blair, how can I fix this?

　　Blair：You don't.Serena. You just stay away.

　　Gossip Girl：But now that Serena is back. Will the upper east side ever be the same? It takes two to tango and girls like these

　　don't go down without a fight.

　　基本来说，这个短语很容易误导人。“It takes two to tango”的字面意思是“探戈舞需要两个人来跳”，照此推理，本应推出个鼓舞人心的“团结才是力量”，可它怎么竟成了贬义词“一个巴掌拍不响”?不急，咱们慢慢来解析。先说tango(探戈)。探戈一般要男女对跳，男人粗犷、女人妖冶，构成了探戈舞的巨大张力。这种舞蹈源于18世纪的阿根廷，当时被认为是上流社会的色情面具，同时也是草根阶层释放欲望的最好方式。Tango的这层“诱惑、情色”意，很容易让人联想到它的同音异形词tangle(纠缠、扭缠在一起)。如果看过奥斯卡影片“Scent of a woman”(《闻香识女人》)，想必您还能记得老上校对tango的经典定义“If you make a mistake, get all tangled up, just tango on.” 如果(探戈)跳错了，那就让大家的舞步都混乱好了，这才是探戈。说到这儿，想必您也明白了，(It takes two to)tango其实是取了tangle的谐音，而整个短语“It takes two to tango”实质上由英国俗语“It takes two to make a quarrel”(一个巴掌拍不响)发挥创造而来。下次如果有朋友向您抱怨，女朋友又跟他闹矛盾了，您就可以这样回敬他：A conflict is not the fault of just one person or the other; they are often both to blame, because it takes two to tango.
