“话”里“话”外

本文选自Gossip Girl 《绯闻女孩》，欢迎大家共同欣赏。
Jenny: Blair, it's ... it's beautiful. I mean, you look ... beautiful.
Blair: It's average. The color is last season, and besides, Stella McCartney has a much better version at Bergdorf's.
Jenny: Right. I ...I've been meaning to go by Bergdorf's. Wow, these dolls are great. Oh, my god. You have a cabbage patch. My brother used to have one of these. His name was Cedric.
Blair: Your brother's name is Cedric?

重点讲解：
1. average adj. 一般的，普通的，中等的
例句：It was an average piece of work. 这个产品很普通。
2. I mean ... 我的意思是……
“I mean” 表示“我的意思是…… 我是说……”用在句中表示想要对上文进行解释说明。有时，“I mean”用作插入语，不具有实际意义，翻译是可以省略。
