ACT 3-1 “咱们还回去钓鱼好吗？”

【故事梗概】

Philip救了Albert的命，Albert的父亲对他非常感谢。在Grandpa, Philip和Robbie准备返回去钓鱼的时候，Philip的BP呼机响了。

Robbie: Here's the bag. Will he be OK, Dad?
Philip: I hope so. That's it. That's the way. That's it. There. Oh, it's going to be all right. That's it. Wrap him in the blanket, Dad! That's it. That's it. It's all right, Albert. You're going to be OK.
Albert: I want my daddy!
Philip: We'll take you to him. Easy now. Easy does it. That's it.
Grandpa: Your dad is quite a guy.
Robbie: I know, Grandpa.
Grandpa: How is he, Philip?
Philip: He's asleep. He's going to be fine.
Father: How can I thank all of you?
Philip: Thank my son Robbie. He pulled him out of the water.
Father: I'm very grateful, Robbie.
Robbie: Dad saved him, not me.
Father: I'm so thankful to all of you.
Philip: So long.
Grandpa: He's a lucky boy. Well, what do you say we get back to our fishing?
Philip: That's a great idea. [His beeper sounds. ] Uh-oh. It's probably the hospital. I have to get to a phone. It probably means we can't stay.
Robbie: That's OK.

【语言点精讲】

1. Easy now. Easy does it.
别着急，沉住气。

2. Your dad is quite a guy.
你爸爸是个了不起的人。
"quite a guy"的意思相当于"a wonderful man"，一个了不起的人。

3. How can I thank all of you?
叫我怎么谢你们几位才好？用以表达自己对别人的感激之情。
表达感谢的说法还有后面出现的"I'm very grateful."（我非常感激你。）以及"I'm so thankful to all of you."（我对你们都非常感谢。）

4. So long.
再见。与"bye, see you"同义，都为比较随便的告别语。

5. Well, what do you say we get back to our fishing?
怎么样，咱们还回去钓鱼好吗？
"What do you say we…?" （你说我们……怎么样？），可以理解为在say后面省了连词if，表示一种建议。此短语仅用于提非正式的建议。

6. Uh-oh.
英文中这种声音意味着有麻烦了。

7. I have to get to a phone.
我得找个地方打电话。get to: 赶快去。
