實用口語:看美劇Gossip Girl學口語(8)

’s Father: You two have worked out all your issues?

padding-bottom: 55.16%;">

你們倆的問題現在都解決了吧。

Dan: Yeah, got’em all squared away

是的。都說清楚了。

Square away 這裏相當於finish。

2 Saved by the bell.

這是一個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.)

當時Serena正在步步緊逼，質問Dan，非讓他說出原因來，這時候Serena的電話響了，Dan覺得如釋重負（what a load off）。這其實又是一個雙關（pun），因爲在英式英語裏面give someone a ring/bell就是給某人打電話的意思。
