点拨：get something for somebody意思“为......拿来”。例如：

What can I get for you.（你要我拿什么给你吗？）

2.I saw the invitation on the nightstand.

点拨：nightstand是指“床头柜”，on the nightstand意思是“在床头柜上”。例如：

Experts also advise keeping a notepad on your nightstand to jot down worries to be dealt with the next day.（专家们还建议在自己的床头柜上放一个笔记本，记下第二天将要处理的问题。）

3.I’m not going to that.

点拨：that在这里是指代Blair即将举行的Kiss Party。Go to a party意思是“去参加聚会”。例如：

Let's go to a party after the cinema and really make a night of it.（让我们看完电影后再去参加晚会，痛痛快快地玩它个通宵。）

It is presumption to go to a party when one has not been invited.（未被邀请而去参加宴会是冒昧的。）

点拨：by the time意思是“到某个时间为止”。句中说“ by the time I got the invitation”意思是说“在我接到请柬的时候为止”。

“by the time+从句”可以视作一个口语句型，意思是“到某件事情发生的时间为止”。从语法的角度来说，by the time引导一个时间状语丛句。例如：

By the time he got there, his friends had already moved on.（当他到达那里的时候,他的朋友们已经走了。）

It was already out of date by the time it was published.（到此书出版时，它已经面目全非了。）
