台词精讲：

Matt: You'd be a knockout in that.

词汇精讲：knockout在这里是美国俚语，意思是“绝代佳人”“给人印象深的人或物”。这是个复合词，它有动词knock和副词out构成。Knock out是固定的动词短语，意思是“击倒，打到”。例如：

She was a knockout in navy and scarlet. 她身着藏青色和鲜红色相间的衣服，十分迷人。

The first story is a knockout. 第一个故事让人印象深刻。

When the foe is staggering, that is the time to knock him out. 敌人已经摇摇欲坠，我们就应该及时把他打倒。

Don't drink too much of this it'll knock you out! 这种酒别喝太多，喝多了就醉了!

短语点拨：in that是指in that dress。That指代Amanda正在打理的衣服，介词in在这里是“穿”的意思。

Matt: Is that what you're wearing to Wilhelmina's party?

短语提炼：wear something to some occasion的意思是“穿什么衣服去出席什么场合”。例如：
It is not suitable to wear red to a funeral.穿红色衣服参加葬礼是不合适的。

He wore a gold chain round his neck to his girlfriend’s party. 他戴着金项链去参加他女朋友的派对。

句式提炼：表示“这是去做某事的东西”，可用这个句型：This is what sb. does something。例如：

Is that what you have been looking forward to buy in your life? 这就是你一生中一直期待要买的东西吗？

Amanda: Some dumb editor is... because only dumb editors get to go to the party.

短语理解：get to有“到达”的意思，get to go to the party在这里可以理解为“有资格去参加这个派对”。因为Amanda在Mode还不是编辑，只是干些杂货，还没有资历参与在杂志社中要人的活动。

Matt: Hanging out with a bunch of editors.

短语精讲：hang out是美国俚语，意思是“闲逛”“无所事事”。再如：

On holidays, we like to go to the forest cabin and let it all hang out. 在假日，我们喜欢去森林小木屋完全放轻松。

My friends and I like to hang out down at the pizza restaurant. 我和我的朋友们喜欢聚集在披萨店。

Matt: But it would at least be fun if you were there.

语法点拨：这是一个非真实条件虚拟句。主句和从句都使用了虚拟语气，是对将来情况的主观想法，并不是事实，从句的谓语是were，主句的谓语是would be。

口语提炼：当某人很不愿意去做某事的时候，你又想劝她去，可以这样劝解：It would be at least be fun.

Amanda: So what do you say?

口语句型：What do you say? 是用来询问对方的意见，看看对方的想法。在这个句型上可以拓展为What do you say that+从句。还可以拓展为What do you say to doing something? 例如：

Let's call it quits. What do you say? 我们就此算了吧，你说呢？

What do you say to going to the theatre tonight? 今晚去看戏, 你说好吗?

What do you say we have a party this weekend? 我们周末开个派对，你觉得怎么样？

Amanda: I have to check my calendar.

词汇点拨：calendar在这里的意思是“日程表”。

Matt: I have to come straight from a meeting,

口语句型：表示做完某事后就直接到某处，可以这样说：Sb comes from something。台词中的come from a meeting的意思就是开完会后去（参加威廉敏娜的派对）。再如：

I will come to your hose from a wedding. 我参加完结婚典礼后就去你家。
