實用口語:看美劇Gossip Girl學口語(8)

字號:

1.Dan’s Father: You two have worked out all your issues?
    你們倆的問題現(xiàn)在都解決了吧。
    Dan: Yeah, got’em all squared away
    是的。都說清楚了。
    Square away 這里相當于finish。
    2 Saved by the bell.
    這是一個idiom,意思是:rescued from a difficult or dangerous situation just in time by something that brings the situation to a sudden end. (From the sounding of a bell marking the end of a round in a boxing match.)
    當時Serena正在步步緊逼,質(zhì)問Dan,非讓他考試.大說出原因來,這時候Serena的電話響了,Dan覺得如釋重負(what a load off)。這其實又是一個雙關(pun),因為在英式英語里面give someone a ring/bell就是給某人打電話的意思。
