1.It's average.

词汇点拨：average在这里是“普通的，平常的”的意思，是指Jenny称赞Blair的那件裙子，Blair认为是普通平常的，并不好看，由此可见高贵子弟的生活。例如：

Rainfall is about average for the time of year. （对一年中的这个时候来说，降雨量还算普通。）

2.The color is last season, and besides, stella McCartney has a much better version at Bergdorf’s.

短语点拨：have a good version字面意思可以是“有个好的版本”或者是“有个好的形式”。在这里的确切意思是“有个好的服装设计样式”。

语法点拨：have a much better version中的much是副词，用来修饰better这个形容词的比较级。

陷阱词汇点拨：at Bergdorf’s的意思是在Bergdorf的公司。Bergdorf’s相当于Bergdorf’s company。

3.I... I've been meaning to go by Bergdorf’s.

短语点拨：go by是一个固定动词短语搭配，它有很多意思，在这里的意思是“路过，经过”。例如：

I go by the church every morning on my way to work.（我每天早晨上班要经过教堂。）

除此之外，它还有“参照，遵循，依据”的意思。例如：

You are expected to go by the rules of your rental⁴ agreement.（你要按和约上的规矩办事。）

Don't go by that old map.（别参照那张旧地图。）

4.My brother used to have one of these.

短语点拨：used to do something意思是“过去常常做某事”。例如：

The table used to do duty as a hotel desk.（这张桌子以前曾充当旅馆服务台。）

She used to do sit-ups before sleep, but not now.（她过去睡觉前常做仰卧起坐，但现在不做了。）

5.So does that mean you're friends with Serena now?

短语点拨：be friends with somebody意思是“和某人是朋友”，这里用的是系动词，那么它强调与现在已经是朋友的这种状态。

6.I mean I don't have a problem with her,

短语点拨：have a problem with somebody在这里的意思是“与某人有过节，有矛盾或纠纷”。例如：

All of us have problems with Mary and we hope she stays away from us.（我都和Mary有矛盾，所以我们希望她不要加入我们。）
