次日上午,Robbie坐在起居室里等Philip带他到密歇根大学校友俱乐部去见招生主任Charley Rafer.出发前,他们还有点时间来喝杯咖啡、聊一聊。
Philip: Sorry, Robbie. Sorry to be late this morning, but, well, we've still got some time for a cup of coffee. I can't wait to see my old pal Charley Rafer. Robbie: Neither can I. Philip: So you thought about it, huh?
Robbie: Yes, I have, Dad. Philip: Well, I'm glad. I knew you'd realize that this interview could be an important experience for you. Robbie: I came to that conclusion. Philip: That's very wise, Robbie. Very wise. Now let's head off for the city and the university club. Robbie: Thanks, Dad. Philip: Thanks…for what?
Robbie: Thanks for hearing me out. And……
Philip: And…?
Robbie: And thanks for being such an understanding father. Philip: Well, thank you, Robbie. Thank you.

1. I can't wait to see my old pal Charley Rafer.我迫不及待地想见到我的老伙伴Charley Rafer了。
can‘t wait to…: 迫不及待的想做……

2. Neither can I.我也恨不能早点见到他。
neither是副词,是“也不”的意思,放在句首时情态动词(如can)或助动词(如do)也要相应提前。如: Andy doesn't like coffee. Neither do I.
3. I knew you'd realize that this interview could be an important experience for you.我知道你会明白这次面谈对你来说可能是一次有益的经历。
I knew (that)……: 我就知道……,我早就知道……
4. I came to that conclusion.我也是这么认为的。我也得出这样的结论。
conclusion 是名词,作“结论”解。
5. Thanks for hearing me out.谢谢你耐心听取我的意见。
hear … out: 耐心听取、倾听。
6. And thanks for being such an understanding father.谢谢您,您真是个能理解人的好父亲。
understanding: 这里指“通情达理的,善解人意的”。
