I can't let my mother down.

Terry: Chin down. Hold it there and...

短语点拨：chin down的意思是“把下颚下压”。这个其实是省略句，根据情景，我们可以讲它改为这样完整的句子：Let your chin down.

词汇点拨：Hold作为及物动词，在这里是“ 使 (自己身体某部位) 保持某种姿势”的意思。

1. 相关短语：hold your head up（把头抬起来）；hold your arms out（把手臂伸出来）hold your hands in front of your face（把双手放在面前）等。

2. 典型例句：It took three nurses to hold him down while they gave him the injection. 给他打针时, 用了三个护士才把他按住.

Hold yourself still for a moment while I take your photograph. 你不要动, 我给你拍照。

Terry: This time let’s exhale. Jump around, loosen up.

词汇精讲：exhale是及物动词，意思是“呼气；呼出（某物）”。相当于“breathe (sth) out”。在台词中exhale可以理解为“放松”。再如：

She exhaled¹⁰ slowly to show her annoyance¹¹. 她长吁着气以示厌烦。

短语点拨1：loosen up是个固定的动词性短语，意思是“放松”，相当于“relax”。这个“放松”既可以指“身体上”的放松，也可以指“精神”上的放松。再如：

I must take some exercise and loosen up my muscles. 我必须做些运动,以松驰我的肌肉。

Loosen up! It's not worth getting upset about it. 放松点儿！不值得为这件事苦恼。

短语点拨2：jump around的意思是“跳来跳去”“来回地跳”。再如：

We flap our wings like birds, or jump around like a frog. 我们像鸟一样扇翅膀，或者像青蛙一样跳来跳去。

Many in the crowd jump around to keep warm. 人群中好些人来回跳动以此来取暖。

Terry: One, two, three! Okay, take a break.

短语点拨：take a break是“休息”的意思。短语中的take也可以用作：have，即：have a break。再如：

I'm always running around and having no time to take a break. 我总是忙来忙去，没有时间休息。

We've been busy for hours. we'd better take a break. 咱们忙了半天, 也该喘喘气了。

Terry: She's so prim and stiff, like a bookcase.

词汇点拨：prim是形容一个人“（举止）拘谨的”，stiff是形容一个人“（举止） 生硬呆板的”。Like a bookcase中的bookcase是指“书架”，书架是放在一个地方不动的，在这里是摄影师Terry用这个比喻来进一步说明Blair照相时“拘谨，呆板，放不开”。

Laurel: Yeah, but she looks stunning in the clothes, don’t you agree?

口语词汇点拨：stunning这个词书面语表示“令人震惊的”，但是用于口语中，意思是“极好的，既漂亮的”。

短语点拨：in one’s clothes中的介词in是“穿着”的意思，in one’s clothes意思就是“穿着某人的衣服”。

它与put one’s clothes on是有区别的，in one’s clothes是指“已经穿上衣服了”，强调一种状态；而put one’s clothes on是指“穿衣服”，强调动作。

Terry: Mm-hmm, to my eye, like a goddess. To this eye? Like a statue.

习语点拨：to one’s eye是个固定短语，意思是“就某人的意见看来，就某人的眼光开来，就某人的观点”。再如：

To my eye, the decorations are excellent. 就我的观点，这些装饰品都很好。

Terry: She needs to let go, have fun, loosen up.

短语点拨：let go是固定用法，意思是“放开，松手”，在这里和loosen up是一样意思，have fun意思“玩得开心”，在这里用以指拍摄时Blair需要更开心，有激情点。”再如：

Let go, you randy old goat! 放开我，你这老色鬼！

The bowler¹² let go a couple of scorchers. 投球手投出了几个快球。

Have fun while you can. The hard times is just around the corner. 趁能玩的时候多玩玩吧，辛苦的时辰不久就会到的。

You'll sure to have fun at the party tonight. 你在今晚的晚会上一定会玩得很开心。

Serena: First of all, you look amazing! But look, can I give you a little tip?

短语点拨：first of all是“首先”的意思，相当于firstly。它还有“最重要地”的意思，相当于foremost再如：

First of all she just smiled, then she started to laugh. 最初她只是微笑，后来才放声大笑。

Well, first of all we can't possibly spare the time. 你看，最主要的是我们实在抽不出时间。

Blair: I can't let my mother down.

短语点拨：let sb down是“让某人失望”的意思。再如：

I did not want him to think I should let him down. 我不要让他觉得我会使他丧气。

You can believe in him;he'll never let you down. 你可以信任他,他不会使你失望。
