火車到達了紐約市。Eisa和祖父Malcolm互相告別。
[On the Amtrak train later that day. The train is arriving in New York City.]
Voice: Ladies and gentlemen, Amtrak is happy to announce our arrival in New York City. The train will be stopping in five minutes. Please check to be sure you have your belongings. And have a good stay in the Big Apple. Thank you.
Eisa: Well, here we are. It was so nice meeting you, Mr. Stewart.
Grandpa: And nice meeting you, too, Mrs. Tobin. Please look us up. We're in the phone book. Dr. Philip Stewart, in Riverdale.
Eisa: Your son?
Grandpa: That's right. And have a good time in New York.
Eisa: And don't be so independent. You're very lucky to have a caring family.
1. Amtrak
Amtrak是火車公司的名字，一般譯為「美國火車公司」。是由三個詞組合而成的：American, travel和track。
2. And have a good stay in the Big Apple.
祝你在紐約過得愉快。Have a good stay in...用於祝對方來訪愉快。
the Big Apple，紐約市的別稱。
3. Please look us up.
look (us) up相當於"call or visit (us)"，即「與（我們）聯繫，到（我們）家裡來玩」。這個短語用來邀對方來訪。
4. We're in the phone book.
你可以在電話簿中找到我們（家的地址和電話號碼）。美國的電話簿上不只有姓名和電話號碼，還列有住址。
5. And don't be so independent. You're very lucky to have a caring family.
還有，別太不依賴別人了。你很幸運有關心你的家人。這是Eisa的臨別贈言。短暫的旅途交談使Eisa洞察了Malcolm的心境，她臨別的贈言既率直又溫情。
independent 獨立的，不依賴的，有主見的。這是美國人非常重視的一種品質。
family 既是家庭，又是家裡人。在從父母的角度說時，family常指子女，如：They have a big family. （他們子女多。）
在Stewart家的客廳裡，一家人在和祖父Malcolm交談。在家中Malcolm受到了兒孫兩代人的熱烈歡迎，惟一的遺憾是沒有見到酷似故去的祖母的孫女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.
1. You name the day.
你說哪天吧。name 用做動詞時，在口語中常用於提出建議，做出安排或說出什麼的名字。又如：Name the place, and we'll be there.（你說哪裡，我們就去哪裡。）
He named a Price.（他開了個價。）
2. Philip needs a day off.
a day off 休息一天，休一天假。
3. Let's give him our presents - now.
咱們把禮物給他吧——現在就給。
美國人有時喜歡送給久別重逢的親友一個 welcome present表示對他們的歡迎。所以 Stewart 一家送給Grandpa family's welcome present 來表示他們對他的愛。
4. I looked all over the house to find it.
我在家裡找了個遍才找到的。
all over the house指屋子裡的每個角落。
5. This one really brings back memories.
bring back memories （使我想起了過去的歲月）。用來表達一種懷舊的感情。
6. I can't wait to see her. She looks just like Grandma at that age.
我迫不及待地想見到她，她長得和她奶奶在她那個年齡時一樣。
can't wait to do sth. 迫不及待地想做某事
look just like... 看起來就和...一樣
祖父感到累了，他想要休息了。Ellen和Philip陪他去了他的房間。祖父打開了自己寄來的大行李箱，並拿出了自己製作的家譜送給了自己的兒子和兒媳。出差的Susan趕了回來，她衝進了祖父的房間。
Grandpa: I'd better unpack. I started traveling twenty-four hours ago. I'm not so young anymore.
Ellen: Don't you want something to eat?
Grandpa: No, thanks. After a good night's sleep, I'll enjoy breakfast even more.
Philip: Well, come on, Dad. Ellen and I'll take you to your room.
Robbie: I'm sure glad you're here, Grandpa.
Richard: Good night, Grandpa.
Marilyn: Pleasant dreams.
Grandpa: Philip, do you have the key to the trunk?
Philip: I have the key, but it doesn't work.
Grandpa: I sent the wrong key. I have something for you. I made it myself. I think you'll enjoy it. I researched it for over a year. It's our family tree.
Ellen: Oh, Grandpa! How exciting!
Philip: Fabulous! Why, I didn't know that your grandfather was born in Germany.
Grandpa: Lots of interesting information about our family. A gift from me.
Ellen: Thank you so much.
Susan: Grandpa! Grandpa! Oh, Grandpa, I'm so happy to see you!
Grandpa: Oh, you look so beautiful, Susan. My granddaughter. Like I always said, you look just like Grandma.
Philip: I think you're going to be very happy here with us.
Ellen: I know you will.
Grandpa: I don't feel alone anymore.
1. I'd better unpack.
I'd better do sth. 我最好做某事
unpack: 打開（行李等），是反義前綴un加上動詞 pack 構成的。
2. Pleasant dreams.
做個好夢，在別人準備就寢前的道別語。亦說 "Sweet dreams."
3. I have the key, but it doesn't work.
鑰匙在我這兒，但它打不開。
work的意思是「起作用，行得通，有效」，是不及物動詞，不帶賓語。
4. It's our family tree.
family tree: 家譜，家族的歷史。
美國人現在流行寫「家譜」，甚至有專門的公司幫助尋找家譜。
5. Fabulous!
太好了。這是口語用法。
美語中說某物很好，有不少誇張性的說法，如：wonderful，marvelous，fantastic，terrific以及這裡出現的 fabulous等。其中除了 wonderful外，都不宜用於正式場合，因為不免有些孩子氣。另外，注意terrible是很糟糕的意思，請不要與terrific混淆。
6. Why, I didn't know that your grandfather was born in Germany.
Why: 你看。這裡的why 不是疑問詞，而是用在句首表示驚訝的情緒。
7. Like I always said, you look just like Grandma.
我一直這麼說，你長得像奶奶。
Like I always said: 就像我一直說的那樣。這是一種比較口語的說法，在書面的較正式的語言中，通常不用like而用連詞as。
