1.If the electricity goes out... 如果没电了......

停电还可以说have a power cut/outage, have a blackout

2.Eleanor put me in charge and it's really big deal. Eleanor让我负责,这可不是闹着玩的(这可不是儿戏).

big deal在这里=very important.

A:Hurry up. We are late for school! 快点啦.我们上学迟到了.

B:Big Deal! 管他呢!　(有什么了不起的)

So you just made a minor error. NBD. ( no big deal).
你就犯了个小错啦.别放心上.(没关系的,不用担心啦,别大惊小怪的)

你还可以说no biggie, no big whoop. don't worry, no worries, take it easy.
你让别人不要大惊小怪,小题大做,可以说don't make such a big deal ( a meal; a drama; a fuss) out of it

如果你真的觉得对方很大题小作,可以这样说来加强语气: So I dated your little sister. Like it's such a big deal! 我就和你妹妹约会来.有什么大不了的啊.

Dan 后面说了个package deal,愿意是说一整套、一揽子的服务或者交易,这里指的是既然Serena和Blair那么要好,她们两个就形影相随,你就算不喜欢Blair也没办法,邀请了Serena,另一个就要跟着来,否则Serena就会很难做.买一送一(buy one and get one free).




3.I'd love to give you a ride. 让我送你一程吧.

give someone a ride的意思是让某人搭便车,送某人一程.你还可以说give a lift.

4.I'm so glad they sent you. 终于把你盼来啦.我真是太高兴他们派你来了.

我们平时说派某人为你做什么事情,用send是最普遍的,推荐使用.更正式的用法是designate.

be into someone意思是=like someone much=喜欢,为某人着迷,对某人很有感觉,对某人有意思.
totally=absolutely=obviously,表示一个很深的程度.
除了用be into, 你还可以用下属英语来表示对某人有感觉
be crazy about someone

7. The other night 那天晚上

the other night用来指不久前的一个夜晚.
We went to movies the other night 我们那晚去看电影了.

8.I'm just been so on edge. 我紧张得要疯掉了.

be so on edge的意思是:你因为某些看似不妙的事情要发生而坐立不安,就像要抓狂.你说自己很upset,因为一些不痛快的事情发生了.Eleanor因为即将要来的客人而担忧发狂,她的女儿则是因为听不到chuck的'I love you'而很伤心情绪很激动. 说道upset,如果你故意说什么事情去upset一个人,就是触到了人家的痛处,伤心处,叫做touch a sore point with someone.




9. I went over it a hundred times. 我都检查了一百遍啦.

Go over =examine closely = go through.

10. Caterer thought he was hitting on him. 伙食包办人说他当时想泡他.
