ACT 3-2 这照片使我想起了过去的岁月
【故事梗概】
在Stewart家的客厅里,一家人在和祖父Malcolm交谈。在家中Malcolm受到了儿孙两代人的热烈欢迎,惟一的遗憾是没有见到酷似故去的祖母的孙女Susan.
Robbie: When can we go fishing?
Grandpa: Robbie, we'll go fishing soon, and we'll take your dad with us.
Philip: I'm ready, Grandpa. You name the day.
Ellen: That's a great idea, Grandpa! Philip needs a day off.
Robbie: Let's give him our presents - now.
Richard: Good idea.
Grandpa: Presents - for me?
Richard: From me and Marilyn.
Robbie: And this one's from me. I looked all over the house to find it.
Grandpa: Richard, these are terrific pictures. This one really brings back memories. You remember that day, Robbie?
Robbie: I sure do. It was fun.
Grandpa: Oh, I'm sorry Susan isn't here. I miss her very much.
Ellen: She feels bad, too, Grandpa. She called to say the plane was delayed. You know airports.
Grandpa: I can't wait to see her. She looks just like Grandma at that age.
