1.Well, it just seems to me that you're the one that doesn't want to be seen together

in public.

短语点拨：in public是介词性短语，它的意思是：公开地，当众地，其反义词是in private。例如：

He is backward in giving his views in public.（他怯于在公众场所发表意见。）

They get along in public, but their personalities⁴ don't really click.（他们在公共场合彼此相处融洽，但是他们的性情不是真正合得来。）

语法点拨：that doesn't want to be seen together in public是定语从句，修饰前面的不定代词one，one在这里指人，在定语从句中做主语，那么关系代词只能够who，不能用that。

短语点拨：see sb together意思是“看见什么人在一起”。例如：

It's important for Michelle to see us together more often.（让 Michelle看到我们更常在一起是是很重要的。）

Did you see Tom and Mary together?（你看见汤姆和玛丽在一起吗?）

2.I just don't want to see you with anyone else.

短语结构点拨：see sb with sb意思是“看见某人和某人在一起”，和上句讲到的see sb together是同样的意思。例如：

It would finish me off to see her with him.（看见她和他在一起我简直活不了啦。）

短语点拨：anyone else意思是“任何其他人”。例如：

He doesn' t give a fuck about anyone else.（他对别人毫不关心。）

Lie to anyone else under the sun, but don't lie to me. （大白天对其他人说谎可以，对我说谎可不行。）

3.Tell your harem of shopgirls and models that you're seeing someone.

词汇点拨：harem是指“一个男人的一群女性性伙伴”，shopgirl是一个复合词，意思是“女店员”，model是指“模特”。

词汇点拨：see有看见的意思，但是在这里是“约会”的意思，相当于“date”。

语法点拨：that you are seeing someone是定语从句，修饰前面的名词harem，注意不要认为先行词是shopgirls和models，这个两个词是修饰harem的。

4.I am, but those conversations take a little time.

词汇点拨：take是“需要花费”的意思，a little就是一点的意思，在这里做定语修饰time，take a little time意思是需要花费一点时间。例如：

It will take a little time to examine your luggage.（检查你的行李要花一点时间。）

5.Well, they've got nothing but time, Bart.

短语点拨：句中的get nothing but time直接翻译就是“没有别的只有时间”，意译为“有的是时间”。

拓展点拨：nothing but是一个非常重要的短语，它的意思是“只不过，只有”。用法如下：

第一，nothing but中的but后面可以接名词或准代词。例如：

He is nothing but a child.（他只是个孩子。）

There is nothing but he is found of.（没有他不喜欢的。）

第二，nothing but中的but后面可以接动词不定式。例如：

A cold-blooded animal has no choice but to lie down and sleep.（冷血动物别无选择只能躺下来睡觉。）

特殊情况：如果句子中的谓语有do这个动词或者有情态动词时，动词不定式的to要省略。例如：

He did nothing but sleep all day long.（他一天什么也不干就是睡觉。）

I can do nothing but obey it.（我只能服从。

6. Look, I really don't appreciate your lurking in the shadows, eavesdropping on my private conversation.

词汇点拨：appreciate是“喜欢，欣赏”的意思，lurk是“隐藏，躲藏”的意思，这里用的是其动名词形式lurking，shadow这里的意思是“暗处”，in the shadows意思就是“在暗处”，eavesdrop²是动词，意思是“偷听，窃听”的意思。

短语点拨：in the shadows意思就是指“在暗处”“暗地里”。例如：

He suffered in the shadows and he hated in the shadows.（他便在黑暗里吃苦，他便在黑暗里愤恨。）

A suspicious-looking man was lurking in the shadows.（一个形迹可疑的人潜伏在暗处。）

短语点拨：eavesdrop on是表示“偷听......，窃听.......”的意思。例如：

eavesdropping on the discussion, her parents偷听讨论﹑偷听她父母谈话。Private conversation是指“私人谈话”。

语法点拨：eavesdropping on my private conversation是现在分词短语做原因状语，表示Dan躲在暗处的原因，是为了偷听Lily和Bass的谈话。

7.No, which is why I was looking.

语法点拨：该句子是Nate接着Lily上面说的话“I don't see her.”而紧着说的，这个句子就是一个非限定性定语从句，which这个引导词指代说到的找不到Serena的情况。

8.So now if you'll excuse me, I’m gonna go back inside, not tell anyone a thing and mind my own business.

习语点拨：mind one’s own business意思是做自己的本分事情，不管闲事。例如：

He was sensible enough to mind his own business.（他很聪明，不管别人闲事。）

He asked me if I was married, so I told him to mind his own business.（他问我结婚了没有，我叫他少管闲事。）

口语点拨：excuse sb用于口语中，表示某人失陪了。
