Dan: So, tell me. What… what exactly happened with you and man-bangs?
Vanessa: He is prettier than me, but that wasn’t the problem.
Dan: And so what was it then? The, uh, the whole perpetually stoned, brooding guy thing?
Vanessa: I actually enjoyed the quiet. It was a nice change of pace from you.
Dan: Was it his past with Serena?
Vanessa: No. That’s just your issue.
Dan: It must’ve been, uh, the … the different worlds thing, right? One of you is always feeling like a fish out of water?
Vanessa: I know exactly what you’re doing. Ask me enough questions about Nate, and I won’t ask you about Serena.
Dan: Best offense is always a strong defense. I, um … I’m not ready to talk about it, her.
Vanessa: Good. Then maybe it’ll be quiet for 30 seconds.
Dan: No,no, no, no, no. You’d better get used to it, Abrams. Welcome to the summer of Dan Humphrey, babblin’ at your ass 24/7, from dusk till dawn. Come Labor Day, you’re gonna be so sick of me.
Vanessa: It’s been 13 years, and I’m still not sick of you.
Dan: Oh, not for lack of trying.

汉语翻译

Dan: 告诉我，你和那个刘海男怎么样了？
Vanessa: 他比我美，但不是这个原因。
Dan: 那是因为什么？是因为他老是扮忧郁？
Vanessa: 事实上我也不喜欢吵闹，从你之后就改变了。
Dan: 因为他和Serena的过去？
Vanessa: 不，那是你的问题。
Dan: 那一定是……你们不是一个世界的，对吧？你们中的一个总是如鱼得水。
Vanessa: 我知道你的目的，问我一大堆Nate的问题而我就不会问你Serena的事了。
Dan: 最好的防守就是不断地进攻。我……我没准备好谈这些，谈她。
Vanessa: 很好，我们可以安静30秒了。
Dan: 不，不，不，不，不。你最好习惯起来，Abrams欢迎来到Dan Humphrey的夏天，每天24小时从黄昏到黎明对你唠叨不停。到了劳动节，你就厌烦我了。
Vanessa: 13年了，我都没对你厌烦。
Dan: 哦，那是你没尝试。
