Who is it?
��˭��
Dad.
�ְ֡�
Come on in, Dad.
��������ְ֡�
I thought you might be hungry.
�������Ŷ��ˡ�
I brought you a chicken sandwich and a glass of milk.
���������һ�ݼ��������κ�һ��ţ�̡�
I am hungry.
�����Ƕ��ˣ�
Thanks, Dad.
лл���ְ֡�
What time is it, anyway?
�����ˣ�˳����һ�¡�
Ten o'clock.
ʮ���ӡ�
What are you working on?
���ڸ�ʲô��
I'm writing a story for the high-school paper.
������Ϊ����У��дһƪ������
Can't you finish it tomorrow?
�����������������
No, I have to turn it in in the morning.
���У����������ҵý���ȥ��
What's it about?
�ǹ���ʲô�ģ�
I'm writing an article on the feelings about graduation.
����дһƪ���ڱ�ҵ��������¡�
And ... how do you feel?
�ǡ�����ĸо���ʲô��
Me?
����
A little scared.
�е㺦�¡�
And excited, too.
Ҳ���˷ܡ�
I felt the same way.
�ҵ�ʱҲ�����ָ��ܡ�
The scary part's leaving home and moving to college.
���µ���Ҫ�뿪�ҰᵽѧУȥ��
Oh, leaving home is part of growing up.
�ǣ��뿪���dz�����̵�һ���֡�
Well, don't work all night.
��������ͨ��������
I don't mind.
�Ҳ��ں���
I enjoy writing.
��ϲ��д����
Well,
��ô��
maybe you should think about becoming a writer.
Ҳ����Ӧ���dz�Ϊһ�����ҡ�
Maybe I should.
Ҳ���Ҹ�������
You have lots of time to decide.
���кܶ�ʱ����������
That's the worst part--making decisions.
�����Խ���ǡ�����������
You'll be OK.
�㲻��������ġ�
Good night, Son.
���������ӡ�
Good night, Dad.
�������ְ֡�
"Hail to the victors valiant,
�����¸ҵ�ʤ�����¾���
Hail to the conquering heroes,
���ȡ��Ӣ�����¾���
Hail, Hail to Michigan,
�¾�����Michigan�¾���
The champions of the West!"
��������ʤ�ߣ���
Ah, good morning, Robbie.
�����簲��Robbie��
Good morning, Dad.
�簲���ְ֡�
How's my grandson?
�ҵ�������������
Fine, Grandpa. Fine!
�ܺã�үү���ܺã�
What's all the cheering about?
��ô������Ϊʲô��
Did the University of Michigan win another football game?
�Dz���Michigan��ѧ��Ӯ����һ����������
Better than that.
�������¸�ֵ�ø��ˡ�
Tell him, Philip.
��������Philip��
I just spoke with Charley Rafer.
�Ҹպ�Charley Raferͨ�˵绰��
Who's Charley Rafer?
˭��Charley Rafer��
He's the Dean of Admissions for the University of Michigan.
����Michigan��ѧ������ע�����Ρ�
And it turns out he's a classmate of Philip's.
����˼���ǣ�����Philip��ͬ��ͬѧ��
We were both on the tennis team.
���Ƕ�������ӵĶ�Ա��
Great!
�����
It is great.
��ȷ��̫���ˡ�
He's going to be in New York tomorrow
���죬��Ҫ��ŦԼ
to interview applicants for admission.
��������ѧ����̸��
And he's agreed to fit you into his schedule.
��ͬ��������㰲�Ž�������̸�����
But I may not want to go to Michigan.
���ǣ��ҿ��ܲ�ȥMichigan��
It's one of the best schools in the country, Robbie.
����ȫ����õĴ�ѧ֮һ��Robbie��
I studied medicine there.
��������ѧҽѧ��
Your grandfather went to the Engineering School there.
��үү������Ĺ�ѧԺ��
I know that, but ...
����֪�������ǡ���
You said you wanted to be a doctor like your father.
��˵����ϣ����ְ�һ����Ϊһ��ҽ����
Not exactly.
����һ����
You couldn't pick a finer medical school than Michigan.
����Ҳ�Ҳ���һ����Michigan��ѧ���õ�ҽѧԺ�ˡ�
Yes, I know that.
�ǵģ���֪����
Let's meet with Charley at the university club.
���Ǿ�ȥ��ѧ���ֲ�����Charley�ɡ�
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
����ʮ���ӡ�
It doesn't mean you're going to Michigan.
�Ⲣ����˵���ҪȥMichigan��ѧ��
It doesn't mean you have to be a doctor.
�Ⲣ����ζ����һ��Ҫ��ҽ����
But the interview will be good experience for you.
�������̸������˵��һ�κܺõľ��顣
In that case, it's OK.
��ô˵���Ҿ�ȥ��
Dad, growing up means
�ְ֣���������ζ��
making my own decisions, doesn't it?
���Լ���������������
You're right, Robbie.
��˵�öԣ�Robbie��
But, like your Grandpa suggested,
���ǣ�����үү������ģ�
have the interview.
ȥ�μ������̸��
And then make your own decision.
Ȼ�����Լ���������
That sounds fine.
�������������õġ�
I know it's sudden, Robbie,
��֪������º�ͻȻ��Robbie��
but this is an important opportunity.
������һ�κ���Ҫ�Ļ��ᡣ
We'll head down there first thing tomorrow morning.
�����һ���¾���ȥ���
OK?
����
Sure, Dad.
һ�����ְ֡�
I want you to know something, Son.
��ϣ����֪��һ���£����ӡ�
I'm ... very proud of you.
�Һܡ�������Ϊ�١�
Thanks, Dad.
лл�㣬�ְ֡�
Well, I've got an appointment at the hospital.
����������ҽԺ���¡�
I'll see you all at dinnertime.
������ʱ�����ˡ�
Bye, Dad.
�ټ����ְ֡�
Is something still wrong, Robbie?
����ʲô���Եĵط���Robbie��
I'll be OK.
ûʲô��
Going away to college for the first time
��һ������ϴ�ѧ
always makes one a little nervous.
����������Щ���š�
I guess so.
�Ҳ���������
I'll be OK. I just need time to think.
�һ���Ӧ�ģ���ֻ����Ҫʱ��˼����
Sorry, Robbie. Sorry to be late this morning,
�Բ���Robbie���Բ��𣬽������ϳ��˵㣬
but, well, we've still got some time for a cup of coffee.
���������ǻ��кȱ����ȵ�ʱ�䡣
I can't wait to see my old pal Charley Rafer.
������������������Charley Rafer��
Neither can I.
��Ҳһ����
So you thought about it, huh?
�㿼�ǹ�����
Yes, I have, Dad.
�ǵģ��ҿ����ˣ��ְ֡�
Well, I'm glad.
�ã��Һܸ��ˡ�
I knew you'd realize
��֪�������ᵽ
that this interview could be an important experience for you.
�����̸��һ�κܺõľ��顣
I came to that conclusion.
�ҵĽ���Ҳ��������
That's very wise, Robbie.
���Ǻ����ǵģ�Robbie��
Very wise.
�dz����ǡ�
Now let's head off for the city and the university club.
���ڣ����ǽ���ȥ������ѧ���ֲ���
Thanks, Dad.
лл���ְ֡�
Thanks ... for what?
лʲô��
Thanks for hearing me out. And ...
лл�����ҵ���������ҡ���
And ...?
���ҡ�����
And thanks for being such an understanding father.
����лл��������һλ�����˽��ҵĸ��ס�
Well, thank you, Robbie. Thank you.
�ţ�лл�㣬Robbie��лл�㡣
Philip Stewart!
Philip Stewart��
It's great to see you!
����˼����㣡
Charley Rafer--you look as young as ever.
Charley Rafer�����㻹�����������ᡣ
You must be Robbie.
�����Robbie�ɡ�
Hi.
��á�
Yes, this is my youngest son Robbie.
�ǵģ������ҵ�С����Robbie��
Robbie, I want you to meet
Robbie����Ҫ�����
one of the best tennis players on the Michigan team--
����Michigan�����õ�����ѡ�֡�
Charley Rafer.
Charley Rafer��
Nice to meet you, Dean Rafer.
�ܸ��˼����㣬Rafer���Ρ�
Well, are you as good a tennis player as your dad?
�ţ����Ƿ���ְ�������һ�����������ѡ���أ�
No, I'm not very good at it.
������������
Frankly, neither was I.
̹�׵�˵���ҵ���Ҳ���á�
Charley was the star of the team.
Charley�ǵ�ʱ��������ǡ�
Yeah. Thanks.
�����ģ�лл�㡣
Well, how're you been, Philip?
�ţ���Щ������ô����Philip��
Oh, working too hard.
�ޣ�����̫�����ˡ�
Doesn't show.
����������
How's Ellen?
Ellen����
Fine, thank you.
�ܺã�лл��
And how's Marge?
Marge����
She's still giving the toughest English history exams
������������Ӣ��ʷ���⿼ѧ����
in the school and loving every minute of it.
��ѧУ����ִ˲�ƣ��ʱʱ��ˡ�
And speaking of minutes,
̸��ʱ�䣬
I have interviews until noon,
�Ҵ����ڵ����磬��һϵ�е���̸��
so why don't we get right to work?
�������ھͿ�ʼ����������
Can you have lunch with us later?
����������һ�𹲽������
I'd love to, Philip, but I'm afraid I can't.
�Һ��룬Philip�����ǿ��²��С�
I'm only here two days,
��ֻ������ʱ�䣬
and I have interviews with twenty-six applicants.
��Ҫ��̸���������ж�ʮ��λ��
I understand.
�����˽⡣
Well, thanks.
�ޣ�л�ˡ�
I'll wait outside.
�ҵ�����ȡ�
Good luck, Son.
ף����ˣ����ӡ�
Did you bring your transcript from high school?
��Ѹ��еijɼ�����������
Yes, sir.
�����ˣ�������
Right here.
�����
Thank you.
лл��
Please sit down.
�����¡�
I see under "activities" that
��ע�⵽�ڡ������Ŀ���ᵽ
you've been writing for the school paper.
��ΪУ��д���¡�
Yes, sir.
�ǵģ�������
What kinds of articles have you written?
��д��һЩʲô�������£�
All kinds--sports, editorials, theater reviews.
���ָ����ġ����������ۣ�������
You name it, I've written it.
��˵�ó��ģ��Ҷ�д����
Hmmm.
�ţ�
Well, have you ever thought of becoming a journalist?
�ã����Ƿ������Ϊһ�����Ŵ�ҵ��Ա��
A professional writer?
ְҵд����Ա��
Not until recently.
����ſ��ǵ���
Michigan has a fine School of Journalism.
Michigan��ѧ��һ���ܺõ�����ѧԺ��
Yes, I know that.
�ǵģ���֪����
You seem to have some reservations.
�������㻹��Щ��ԥ��
I'm a little uncertain.
���е���ԥ������
It's been very nice talking to you.
�ܸ������㽻̸��
Nice talking to you, sir.
��Ҳ�ܸ���������̸��������
One piece of advice.
����һ���Ҹ档
The most important thing is for you to decide your own future.
����Ҫ������Ҫ�Լ������Լ���δ����
Yes, sir.
�ǵģ�������
Good-bye, Dean Rafer.
�ټ���Rafer���Ρ�
Good-bye, Robbie. Good luck.
�ټ���Robbie��ף����ˡ�
I had an interview today, too.
�ҽ���Ҳ�μ���һ����̸��
I had a great interview
�Ҳμ���һ�κܾ��ʵ���̸
with Admissions at Columbia University.
��Columbia��ѧ��������Ա��
Really?
��ģ�
What did they say?
����˵ʲô��
Will you get into the school?
��ᱻ¼ȡ��
Well, they didn't say anything for sure.
�ţ�����û���κ�ȷ�еĴ𸲡�
But I figure that with my grades and with my personality,
�����룬ƾ�ҵijɼ����ҵ�Ʒ�У�
I'll have no problem.
�Ҳ��������⡣
Columbia's a terrific school.
Columbia��һ���ܰ���ѧУ��
What are you going to do?
������ʲô��
Do? I don't know.
��ʲô���Ҳ�֪����
I also applied to NYU.
�һ�������ŦԼ��ѧ��
You sound excited about Columbia.
���������Columbia��ѧԾԾ���ԣ�
What's your problem, Mike?
���������������Mike��
Indecision. Indecision.
�²��˾��ģ��²��˾��ġ�
It's not easy,
ʵ�ڲ����ף�
and this is an important decision we have to make.
���������DZ�������һ���ش������
What about you?
���أ�
How was your interview with Michigan?
���Michigan��ѧ������̸����Σ�
The interview was fine.
��̸�úܺá�
It's a great college.
����һ���ô�ѧ��
It is.
�ǵġ�
My father would like me to go there.
�Ұְ�ϣ����ȥ�Ƕ���
He and my Grandpa both went there.
������үү������������顣
Great medical school, too.
�����кܺõ�ҽѧԺ��
I know.
��֪����
You can follow in your father's footsteps.
����Ը����㸸�׵��㼣��
Ah! I'd like to follow in my own footsteps, Mike.
�ޣ��������Լ���·��Mike��
What do you want to study?
����ѧʲô��
I've been thinking.
��һֱ�ڿ��ǡ�
I think I want to study journalism
����ѧ����ѧ��
to be a reporter--a newspaperman.
������һ�����ߣ�һ�����Ŵ�ҵ��Ա��
You do a pretty good job on the Riverdale High School paper.
����Riverdale����У������������ɫ��
And I've been thinking about it a lot lately.
�����һֱ�ʹ������˺ܶࡣ
Have you discussed it with your parents?
��͸�ĸ����������
No. But I have to.
û�У����д˱�Ҫ��
OK. Let's talk.
�ã�����̸̸�ɡ�
Hi, Son. Is everything all right?
�ˣ����ӣ�һ�ж�˳����
Hi, Dad. Everything's fine.
�ˣ��ְ֡�һ�ж��á�
I was just waiting for you to get home
�������������
so we could talk.
�ø���̸̸��
Anything special you want to talk about?
��ʲô�������Ҫ̸��
There is, Dad.
�У��ְ֡�
I'm listening.
�Ǿ�˵�ɡ�
Well, I know you and Mom have given up a lot
�ţ���֪���������ʡ�Լ��ã�
to save money for my college tuition.
��Ǯ׼���ҵĴ�ѧѧ�ѡ�
We want you to go to college, Robbie.
����ϣ�����ϴ�ѧ��Robbie��
I know. I do.
��֪�����һ�ġ�
But?
�ǻ���ʲô�£�
Well, I've thought a lot about which college,
�ţ���Ϊ������һ����ѧ���˺ܶ࣬
and one of them is Columbia.
����һ����Columbia��ѧ��
Columbia? Why Columbia?
Columbia��ΪʲôҪȥColumbia��
First, they have an excellent School of Journalism.
���ȣ������и�������������о�����
They do.
�ǵġ�
And your friends are planning to go to Columbia?
�������������Ҳ׼����Columbia��ѧ������
That's only part of it.
��ֻ��һ����ԭ��
It's complicated.
ԭ��ܸ��ӡ�
I'll try to explain.
�һᾡ��������͡�
Mike and I had a hamburger this afternoon, and we talked.
�������磬Mike����һ��Ժ�����һ�����ۡ�
Yes?
����
Well, we talked about a lot of things.
�ţ�����̸�˺ܶࡣ
He applied to Columbia,
��������Columbia��ѧ��
and his interview was very successful.
������̸�ܳɹ���
He thinks he'll be accepted,
���������ᱻ¼ȡ��
and he really wants to go there.
��ȷʵ����ȥ���
Dean Rafer called me today.
Rafer���ν����绰���ҡ�
He told me he was very impressed with you.
��������������ӡ��ܺá�
He's a nice man.
���Ǹ����ˣ�
He was very kind.
���˺Ͱ���
He told me
��������
you had some doubts about wanting to go to Michigan.
�����Michigan��ѧ��Щ���ǡ�
Yes. I do.
�ǵģ��������ǡ�
I'm just not sure about what I want to do.
�Ҳ�֪���ö�ʲô��
That's OK.
��ȥ��Ҫ����
You understand?
�����½⣿
Let me tell you something, Robbie.
���Ҹ�����һ���£�Robbie��
Something that might be surprising to you.
һ��Ҳ��������Ծ����¡�
What? Tell me.
ʲô�£�˵����������
Well, Grandpa wanted me to study engineering, like him.
�ţ�үүϣ��������һ��ѧ���̣�
Well, I wasn't clear about my future,
�Ҷ��Լ���δ����ʱҲ�������
but I knew engineering was not for me.
����֪�����̶��Ҳ����ʡ�
What did you tell Grandpa?
��������ζ�үү˵���أ�
The truth.
ʵ��ʵ˵��
Then you're not upset
��ô����û�ие����죬
about my not wanting to go into medicine?
���Ҳ�ѧҽ��
I'm not upset at all.
һ��Ҳ����
I'm just happy that we're able to talk about it.
�Һܸ��������ܹ�һ����������¡�
I am too, Dad.
��Ҳһ�����ְ֡�
I suppose you want to apply to Columbia.
�Ҳ����������Columbia��ѧ��
Yes, but I also want to apply to several other colleges.
�ǵģ����һ������뼸�������Ĵ�ѧ��
I thought you wanted to go to Columbia.
�һ���Ϊ��ֻ����Columbia��ѧ��
Well, I might want to go to Columbia.
�ţ���Ҳ��ȥColumbia��ѧ��
But I might not.
��Ҳ����ȥ��
I just want to be able to make my own decision.
��ֻ���ܹ��Լ�������
You're a real Stewart!
����������Stewart�ҵ��ˣ�
And if I think about it long enough, you never know ...
�����һֱ������ȥ�Ļ���˵��������
Never know what?
˵����ʲô��
If I make my own decision,
������Լ��������Ļ���
I might choose Michigan.
��˵����ѡ��Michigan��ѧ��
Robbie, you're something!
Robbie�������������
You know, when I was your age,
Ҫ֪��������������ô���ʱ��
I said exactly the same thing to Grandpa.
