分类: 实用英语 

 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 the 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.

    Dean: Philip Stewart! It's great to see you!

    Philip: Charley Rafer-you look as young as ever.

    Dean: You must be Robbie.

    Robbie: Hi.

    Philip: Yes, this is my youngest son Robbie. Robbie, I want you to meet one of the best tennis players on the Michigan team-Charley Rafer.

    Robbie: Nice to meet you, Dean Rafer.

    Dean: Well, are you as good a tennis player as your dad?

    Robbie: No, I'm not very good at it.

    Philip: Frankly, neither was I. Charley was the star of the team.

    Dean: Yeah. Thanks. Well, how've you been, Philip?

    Philip: Oh, working too hard.

    Dean: Doesn't show. How's Ellen?

    Philip: Fine, thank you. And how's Marge?

    Dean: She's still giving the toughest English history exams in the school and loving every minute of it. And speaking of minutes, I have interviews until noon, so why don't we get right to work?

    Philip: Can you have lunch with us later?

    Dean: I'd love to , Philip, but I'm afraid I can't. I'm only here two days, and I have interviews with twenty-six applicants.

    Philip: I understand. Well, thanks. I'll wait outside. Good luck, Son.

    Dean: Did you bring your transcript from high school?

    Robbie: Yes, sir. Right here.

    Dean: Thank you. Please sit down.

    Dean: I see under "activities" that you've been writing for the school paper.

    Robbie: Yes, sir.

    Dean: What kinds of articles have you written?

    Robbie: All kinds-sports, editorials, theater reviews. You name it, I've written it.

    Dean: Hmmm. Well, have you ever thought of becoming a journalist?

    Robbie: A professional writer? Not until recently.

    Dean: Michigan has a fine School of Journalism.

    Robbie: Yes, I know that.

    Dean: You seem to have some reservations.

    Robbie: I'm a little uncertain.

    Dean: It's been very nice talking to you.

    Robbie: Nice talking to you, sir.

    Dean: One piece of advice. The most important thing is for you to decided your own future.

    Robbie: Yes, sir. Good-bye. Dean Rafer.

    Dean: Good-bye. Robbie. Good luck.
