1.Hey, dad, how’s the new song going?

句型点拨：How is something ( or somebody) going？这个句型表示询问某事进展如何？某人近况如何？像此类的句型还有：How is something ( or somebody ) going along ( on )? 例如：

How is your business going along? （你的生意做得怎么样?）

How is your plan going on?（你的计划进展怎样?）

How are things going at the moment? （你现在情况怎么样（生活得好不好）?

2.Oh, it was a thank-you gift from Blair for doing the party invitations.

短语结构点拨：a gift from somebody for something ( or doing something )意思是因为某事某人送给的礼物。例如：

This is the gift from my bother for helping his sone with his English.（我帮助我哥哥的孩子辅导英语，哥哥送给我的礼物。）

3.Oh, and it looks like a very expensive thank-you gift.

口语句型点拨：It looks like... 这个句型表示的意思是看起来好像......。Like是介词，他后面可以接名词或相当于名词性短语从句等等。例如：

It looks like the houses in Hollywood.（看起来好像是好莱坞的房子。）

It looks like rain. You'd better take your raincoat with you.（看来要下雨了，你还是带上雨衣吧。）

It looks like he means to go. （他看来好像是有意要去。）

It looks like we have a lot in common.（这样看来我们有很多相同之处。）

4.Dad, she has a closet the size of this apartment just full of them.

短语点拨：full of是一个形容词性短语，意思是“充满的”。例如：

He is a man full of adventure.（他是一个充满冒险精神的人。）

Her speech was full of flourish.（她的演讲充满了华丽的词藻。）

5.And her mom is very talented but the dress you made for yourself is much nicer.

短语结构点拨：make something for oneself意思为自己做......。例如：

I was determined to make a new life for myself breeding horses out in Australia.（我决心给自己安排一种新的生活—到澳大利亚去养马。）

I can make a shift for myself.（我自个儿能对付。）

6.Which is why you don't wear dresses.

语法点拨：这句话是Jenny说的话，这是一个非限定性定语从句，“which”指代她爸爸Rufus说的“And her mom is very talented but the dress you made for yourself is much nicer.”

7.Uh, one of a couple of reasons.

短语点拨：表示两者之一，可以用到这个结构one of a couple of something。A couple of是“两个”的意思，用上one of就是指两个中的其中一个。

8.Well, you used to be cool and the '90s are having a come back.

短语点拨：used to be+形容词，意思是过去是什么状态或者情况，used to be cool意思就是指过去Jenny的父亲是听酷的。

短语点拨：come back是一个固定短语，意思很多，在这里的意思是“卷土重来，重新流行，恢复原状”。例如：

I'm glad hats are coming back.（我很高兴帽子再度流行起来。）

I don't think short skirts will ever come back.（我认为短裙将不会重新流行。)

此外，come back在这句话中做名词短语用，have a come back。

9.You have no idea how much that hurts.

短语点拨：have no idea意思是“不知道”。要表示不知道......，后面跟同位语从句。这句话是用how much引导了一个同位语从句how much that hurts。
