gossip girl 7 英文- 第34部分

Blair　nodded；　tempted　to　explain　how　she'd　just　broken　up　with　her　boyfriend；　and　how　sometimes　
she　felt　lonely　too。　Discreetly；　she　sized　Vanessa　up。　She　kind　of　liked　how　Vanessa　didn't　gush　
about　what　a　loser　her　ex…boyfriend　was；　plaining　about　gifts　he'd　given　her；　imitating　the　
stupid　way　he　tied　his　shoes；　and　reiterating　the　whole　sad　saga。　Vanessa　was　weird；　but　at　least　
she　wasn't　predictable。　And　it　was　well　
known　that　Vanessa's　parents　lived　in　Vermont；　so　if　her　sister　was　away；　she　was　really　all　on　her　
own。　


So　how　does　it　work？〃　Blair　asked。　〃Are　you；　like；　interviewing　prospective　roommates？〃　

Vanessa　had　to　wonder　where　all　this　was　going。　

〃Well　first　I　screen　them　through　Instant　Messenger；　and　if　they　sound　normal　I　interview　them。　
But　so　far；　no　one's　been　normal。〃　

Blair　couldn't　believe　she　was　actually　considering　living　with　lesbo；　baldo；　weirdo；　no…friends　
Vanessa；　but　she　really　did　need　a　place　to　live。　Her　own　home　was　intolerable；　and　after　her　
run…in　with　Mrs。　M　this　morning；　she　was　pretty　sure　she　couldn't　live　at　the　Plaza　for　the　rest　of　
the　school　year　without　pletely　ruining　her　chances　of　getting　into　Yale。　And　what　if　she　
needed　to　entertain。。。　a　guest？　An　apartment　without　parents　or　nannies　or　maids　or　cooks　was　the　
perfect　place；　even　if　it　had　to　be　in　dirty；　disgusting　Williamsburg。　She　might　even　convince　
Vanessa　to　hire　a　decorator；　and　introduce　some　color　to　the　apartment。　Not　that　she　had　actually　
seen　Vanessa's　place；　but　after　going　to　school　with　her　for　the　last　one　hundred　years；　she　was　
pretty　sure　the　entire　apartment　was　done　entirely　in　black。　She　could　make　the　place　over　
pletely　just　like　the　frumpy；　bookish　Audrey　Hepburn　was　made　over　into　a　fabulous　fashion　
model　in　'My　Fair　Lady'！　

〃Interview　me；〃　she　suggested。　

〃But…〃　Vanessa　countered。　〃I　live　in　Brooklyn。〃　

Blair　twisted　her　ruby　ring　around　and　around　on　the　ring　finger　of　her　left　hand。　〃I　know。〃　She　
sighed　mournfully　down　at　her　black　patent　leather　flats　and　closed　her　eyes；　trying　to　picture　
herself　as　a　hip；　artsy　Williamsburg　person。　She'd　wear　drab　green　t…shirts　with　ironic　decals　on　
them　like　WILLIAMSBURG　IS　FOR　LOVERS。　She'd　take　her　coffee　black。　She'd　wear　Converse　
sneakers　without　socks　and　carry　a　vintage　purple　plastic　handbag。　She'd　get　orange　highlights　and　
wear　black　octagonally　framed　glasses。　She'd　eat　falafel。　She'd　write　poetry。　She'd　get　a　lip　ring　
and　a　tattoo！　Oh；　wouldn't　Nate　just　die。　A　smile　spread　across　her　face。　〃I've　always　wanted　to　
live　in　Brooklyn。〃　

Yeah；　right。　

〃No；　you…〃　Vanessa　began　in　attempt　to　dissuade　her。　

〃You　have　cable；　TiVo；　and　a　DVD　player；　right？〃　Blair　demanded。　

Wait；　who's　supposed　to　interview　who？　

〃I　have　to　watch　my　movies；〃　Blair　insisted；　like　a　TV…dinner…eating　old　biddy　who　couldn't　
survive　without　her　daily　dose　of　Regis　and　Kelly。　

〃Movies？〃　Vanessa　repeated；　wondering　if　Blair　had　pletely　lost　her　mind。　She'd　forgotten　that　


Blair　was　a　huge　old　movie　fan。　Back　in　November；　Blair　had　even　entered　a　film　contest　at　
school。　all　she'd　done　was　replay　the　first　ten　minutes　of　'Breakfast　at　Tiffany's'　over　and　over　to　
different　music；　because　in　her　opinion　it　was　the　perfect　first　ten　minutes　of　any　film　ever。　
Vanessa　had　won　the　contest　with　her　version　of　'War　and　Peace'；　starring　her　former　best　friend　
Dan　Humphrey　as　the　dying　Prince　Andrei。　That　had　been　before　they'd　even　kissed…　what　seemed　
like　a　century　ago。　

〃Anything　starring　Audrey　Hepburn。　Or　Jimmy　Stewart。　Or　Cary　Grant。　Or　Lauren　Bacall。〃　Blair　
clarified　breathlessly。　〃And　of　course；　'Gone　With　the　Wind'。〃　

If　there　was　one　thing　Vanessa　had　plenty　of；　it　was　film　equipment；　TVs；　videos；　and　DVDs。　
〃Don't　worry。　I'm　majoring　in　film　at　NYU　next　year。　I　have　everything；〃　Vanessa　assured　her。　〃All　
the　classics。〃　

〃And　how　do　you　get　to　school？〃　Blair　demanded；　wondering　if　she　might　have　to　learn　to　drive。　
Keeping　her　eyes　on　her　puter　screen；　she　wiggled　her　mouse　to　give　the　impression　that　she　
was　hard　at　work。　〃Isn't　there；　like；　some　bridge　you　have　to　cross？〃　

Considering　Manhattan　is　an　Island；　then　yes　probably　a　bride　would　be　involved。　

Vanessa　decided　to　humor　her。　Not　that　Blair　Waldorf　really　wanted　to　live　in　her　dodgy；　graffitied　
Brooklyn　apartment　building　with　its　view　of　other　dodgy；　graffitied　Brooklyn　apartment　buildings。　
〃The　L　train　goes　to　Union　Square　and　then　I　change　for　the　6。〃　

Huh？　

Blair　frowned。　Was　she　talking　about　the　subway？　

〃If　the　weather's　really　bad　or　I'm　really　late；　I　call　a　car　service；〃　Vanessa　admitted。　

Aha！　

〃And　do　you　mind。。。　you　know；　visitors？〃　Blair　asked。　

As　in　male　visitors？　

Vanessa　laughed。　〃As　long　as　they　don't　smell　and　they　bring　food。〃　

Blair　nodded　seriously。　She'd　have　her　very　own　apartment　in　which　to　have　wild　crazy　sex　with　
Stan　5　or　any　other　boy　she　chose；　and　she　would　turn　herself　into　the　sexiest；　most　pierced　and　
tattooed　girl　in　Williamsburg；　Nate　would　go　absolutely　crazy　with　regret。　〃I　think　this　could　work　
out；　don't　you？〃　

Vanessa's　brown　eyes　has　ceased　blinking。　〃But　we　hate　each　other；〃　she　said　matter…of…factly。　


Blair　rolled　her　eyes　and　knocked　her　tanned　bony　knee　against　Vanessa's　pale　round　one。　〃Oh；　
don't　be　such　a　snob；〃　she　huffed；　really　getting　into　her　new　role　as　Vanessa's　long…lost　hipster　
sister。　〃Now；　about　your　boyfriend　problem；〃　she　continued；　as　if　the　matter　was　already　closed。　
〃The　thing　is；　and　no　offense；　but　I　bet　you're　only　attracted　to　guys　who　are　kind　of　'alternative'；　
like　you…〃　Blair　clamped　her　mouth　shut；　as　her　brain　underwent　a　light　bulb　moment。　Why　she'd　
never　thought　of　it　before　she　didn't　know；　but　her　dreadlocked　so…called　alternative　stepbrother　
Aaron　and　the　shaven…headed；　black…wearing　Vanessa　were　absolutely　the　perfect　couple！　They　
could　paint　each　other's　toenails　black；　cook　vegan　sushi；　film　each　other's　hair　or　lack　thereof；　and　
otherwise　entertain　themselves　while　she　was　busy　seducing　the　boy　who　was　going　to　get　her　into　
Yale。　

See；　maybe　Williamsburg　really　is　for　lovers！　

Gossipgirl　

HEY　PEOPLE！　

THE　ODD　COUPLE　

Who　would've　thunk　it？　A　girl　married　to　her　eight…hundred…hundred…dollar　Manolos　has　
tentatively　moved　in　with　a　classmate　who　has　never　worn　anything　on　her　feet　but　steel…toed　Doc　
Marten　boots　and　black　Danskin　knee　socks。　One　thing　is　for　sure；　they　won't　be　sharing　clothes。　
But　since　they　e　from　two　entirely　different　planets；　they　definitely　have　a　lot　to　talk　about　and　
a　lot　to　learn。　A　sample　conversation：　

〃Have　you　seen　the　brush　for　my　Stila　bronzing　powder？　

〃Oh　are　you　doing　an　art　project？〃　

I'm　taking　all　bets　for　how　long　this　crazy　sleepover　is　going　to　last！　

QUEL　DESATRE！　

Word　alsohas　it　that　a　certain　French　tie…dye…wearing　hippie　chick　has　told　the　entire　world　that　
she　and　our　favorite　stoner　lacrosse　jock　aren't　just　seeing　each　other…　they're　in　love。　Uh…oh。
