【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.Philip: We'll take you to him. Easy now. Easy does it. That's it.Grandpa: Your dad is quite a guy.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.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.
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。
【故事梗概】
Philip给医院回了电话，被告知他的病人发高烧，他必须马上赶回医院去。祖孙三人的钓鱼活动不得不提前结束。不愿空手回家的Robbie和Grandpa在超市买了特价的冻鱼。Ellen对他们这么早就回来了表示惊讶。Philip: One of my patients has a high fever, and I have to go to the hospital. I'm sorry, Robbie. I guess I ruined your day.
Robbie: You didn't ruin my day, Dad. I understand. I really do.
Ellen: Why are you back so early?
Grandpa: Philip had to go back to the hospital.
Robbie: He had an emergency.
Ellen: Oh, that's too bad, Robbie. Did it spoil your fun?
Robbie: No, Mom. We had a great time.
Ellen: Well, did you do any fishing?
Robbie: Yeah, we caught lots of them. Look! They had a special on frozen fish down at the supermarket.
Ellen: Oh, you really had a bad day.
Grandpa: We had a good day. Robbie pulled a boy out of the water.
Robbie: And Dad saved his life. He's a terrific doctor, Mom.

I guess I ruined your day. 我想我今天扫你的兴了。"ruin sb's day"，扫某人的兴。也可以说"ruin sb's good time"或者"spoil one's fun"3. He had an emergency.他有急诊病人。"emergency"，急事，紧急情况，急症(病人)。4.
