1.X.O.X.O gossip girl
X.O.X.O是什么意思呢？原来=hugs and kisses （么么抱抱）。曾经收到朋友的一条text msg就有xoxo,当时还不明白什么意思。
关于这个词的来源，大家不妨看看下面的解释：
Even as little as a hundred and fifty years ago, not many people could read or write. The "X" at the bottom of a document took the place of a signature. They would kiss the "X" as a crucifix or bible was kissed to emphasize the importance of the mark. It was this practice that lead to the "X" representing a kiss.
There isn’t much known about the beginnings of the "O". It is a North American custom. The "O" represents the arms in a circle around another person. Arms crossed in front of you do not mean the "X" as a hug! The "O" is the hug.
2. A few simple tips to beat the heat. 告诉你几条解暑的小贴士
Beat the heat 直译过来并非“战胜暑气”。在这里，beat-=avoid。所以beat the heat的意思是“躲避暑气”，也就是所谓的“避暑”了。根据它的context，理解成“解暑” “降署”会更贴切。Beat the traffic/rush 就是避开（交通，上下班）高峰。
而后来Serena问Dan到底在怕什么，Dan开玩笑说是Heatstroke（中暑），还可以说是sunstroke。
说“他中暑了”，可以说He suffers （from） heatstroke. 注意，suffer with和suffer from是有差别的，前者的意思是“他中暑了，很难受”.
3.Try these on. 穿上试试.
说衣服合不合身用“fit”。
比如： These Jeans fit you like a glove. 这条牛仔裤你穿上很合身（简直像量身定做一样）
量身定做,非常合适=tailor-made or customer-made
后面Blair的妈妈说了句“it’s hot and late. We will finish your fitting tomorrow”. 这里的fitting也是试衣的意思。
