实用英语口语 看Gossip Girl学口语(8)

1.Dan’s Father: You two have worked out all your issues?
你们俩的问题现在都解决了吧。
Dan: Yeah, got’em all squared away
是的。都说清楚了。
Square away 这里相当于finish。
2 Saved by the bell.
这是一个idiom，意思是：rescued from a difficult or dangerous situation just in time by something that brings the situation to a sudden end. (From the sounding of a bell marking the end of a round in a boxing match.)
当时Serena正在步步紧逼，质问Dan，非让他说出原因来，这时候Serena的电话响了，Dan觉得如释重负（what a load off）。这其实又是一个双关（pun），因为在英式英语里面give someone a ring/bell就是给某人打电话的意思。
