Grandpa 和Robbie在看电视直播的感恩节游行。Robbie还在为错过了Alexandra
的电话而闷闷不乐。Susan 的电话使他空欢喜了一下,他的冷淡使Susan 惊疑。
Philip走进来了,他让大家尝一下Ellen 做的火鸡填料。
Grandpa : I love parades. The Thanksgiving Day parade is always such
great fun. Look at that Superman balloon! Wowee! Just floating along
high above Central Park West. Don't you just love it? Oh , and the bands
and the music. John Philip Sousa. I love his music. Da dada da da dada
da da da da da da dada. Oh, look at that float , Robbie. Look at those
funny-looking clowns. Robbie: It's for kids. Grandpa : Maybe so , but
parades always make me feel like a kid. Remember when you and your dad
and I went to the Thanksgiving Day parade ? You were four or five years
old , I think. Robbie: Hello, hello…Oh, hi , Susan. How are you ?
…Here's Mom. Ellen : Hello, Susan. Yes , he missed a phone call
from Alexandra. Yes , I know , but he'll get over it. Good. Then you'll
be here about five? Oh , fine. I look forward to seeing you and Harry
and Michelle. Drive carefully. Good-bye. Philip : Taste Ellen's turkey
dressing. It's delicious. Grandpa : I'm not surprised. It's Grandma's
recipe. Robbie: It's my favorite part of the meal. Philip: What about
my famous apple pie ?
Robbie: Dad, your apple pie is my favorite dessert. Philip: How's
the parade?
Robbie: OK.
「语言点精讲」
1. Wowee!

这两种表达都是在非正式场合用的。

最初在1924年开始组织举行的,发展到今天,规模越来越大,全美许多大城市都
相继组织感恩节狂欢游行了。在纽约,游行队伍从中央公园西路(Central Park
West)开始出发,游行队伍里,有许多巨型彩车(float ),天上飘着各种人们
熟知的卡通形象的大气球(balloon ),电视明星、马戏团小丑(clown )一路
又唱又跳和人们一起欢庆节日,从美国各地来的乐队(band)演奏着进行曲,使
人感到节日气氛无处不在。每年约有55,000 ,000 人通过电视收看感恩节游行
盛况。
