ACT 3-1 “我知道你是谁。”
【故事梗概】
在Pete Waters的农场上，Grandpa四面看看，等着Pete回来。稍后，一辆汽车来到，是另外的两个老朋友Peggy和Arnold。他们同Grandpa打招呼。
Arnold: Don't tell me. Please don't tell me. I recognize you ...
Peggy: Oh, don't be silly, Arnie. Of course you recognize him. Except for the beard, he hasn't changed in fifty years. It's Malcolm Stewart!
Arnold: I know it's Malcolm Stewart. You haven't changed much in fifty years.
Grandpa: Peggy -- Peggy Pendleton! You're Peggy Pendleton!
Arnold: Who am I, You old rascal? You don't recognize me, do you?
Grandpa: I know who you are. You're Arnold Franklin! I know who you are!
Peggy: You look wonderful, Malcolm!
Grandpa: [He walks with them to an outdoor table.]Sit down. Sit down. Pete isn't home.
Arnold: Really?
Grandpa: No. He left a note on the door saying he was going to the railroad station to pick up a surprise.
Peggy: He's so funny. Always full of surprises, even fifty years later.
Grandpa: The two of you look unbelievable!
【语言点精讲】
1. Oh, don't be silly, Arnie. Of course you recognize him. Except for the beard, he hasn't changed in fifty years.
噢，Arnie，别傻了，你当然认识他。他除了留了胡子以外，50年来一点也没有变样。silly: 傻的。
recognize: 有“承认”和“认出”两义。此处用后者。
except for : 除了…外；除去，撇开。
he hasn't changed in fifty years: 美国人最忌讳被说老了，也最喜欢别人夸自己年轻。所以这几个老朋友见面就夸对方“50年来一点也没有变样”。后面出现的“The two of you look unbelievable!”也是在称赞对方看起来样子真年轻，“叫人不敢相信！”
2. Who am I, you old rascal?
我是谁啊，你这个老家伙？
rascal: 愿意是指“无赖，恶棍，流氓”。这里是开玩笑的口气。
3. I know who you are.
我知道你是谁。
疑问句，如“Who are you?／Where is it? ／ What can we do?”在复合句中成为从句时，应改为陈述句形式，例如:
I know who you are.
I don't know where it is.
Ask him what we can do.
4. He walks with them to an outdoor table.
他同他们一起走到室外一张桌子旁。
outdoor: 户外的，露天的。outdoor是形容词，相应的副词是outdoors。如“He likes outdoor life. He spends a lot of time outdoors.”与之相对的“室内”是“indoor， indoors”。
5. Pete isn't home. -- Really? -- No. He left a note on the door saying he was going to the railroad station to pick up a surprise.
Pete不在家。-- 真的吗？-- 是的。他在门上留了张条子，说他到火车站去给我们带一个惊喜来。
No. : 在这里的意思是“是的，他不在家。” 对于否定句的回答，英文的习惯和汉语的不同，要注意区别。
leave a note: 留一个便条，留张字条。便条、信件以及通知之类的上面写了什么，要用动词say。
6. He's so funny.
他很有趣。
funny: 是个口语常用词，修饰事物时，通常指可笑的、滑稽的和古怪的。指人时，可用于褒义，亦可用于贬义。
ACT 3-2 “这有可能是任何东西。”
【故事梗概】
Grandpa在和Arnold和Peggy聊天，他们都对Pete提到的那个“惊喜”感到好奇。这时Pete回来了，他带来了另一位他们的老朋友Lillian Winters女士。
Arnold: How's your family? Oh, I was sorry to hear about your wife having passed away.
Grandpa: Yes. About four years ago.
Peggy: And you're living with your children now? In New York? Pete wrote us and told us.
Grandpa: Yup. Retired and moved to New York to live with my son and his family.
Peggy: By the way, what do you think this big surprise is?
Arnold: It could be most anything, knowing Pete.
[Another car arrives. ]
Grandpa: Hey, that must be Pete! Now we'll find out about the surprise.
[They go to meet the car.]
Pete: So good to see you all!
Peggy: Oh, Pete, Pete! Oh, it's so good to see you!
Pete: Remember Lillian?
Lillian: I remember all of you. You haven't changed a bit.
Peggy: Lillian! Oh, my gosh!
Arnold: Lillian Winters. We were together in the Thursday night drama society.
【语言点精讲】
1. Oh, I was sorry to hear about your wife having passed away.
噢，我听说你夫人已经故去了，感到很难过。
hear about: 听说；得知。
pass away: 死去，去逝，逝世。pass away是 die的委婉说法。类似的说法还有“pass on”以及“no longer with us”。
2. Yup.
这是Yes的口语表达方式。
3. By the way, what do you think this big surprise is?
我问一下，你认为这叫人意想不到的事是什么？
by the way: 顺便说说，顺便问一下。by the way是常用的插入语，在提到临时想到的事，与当时所说的话题无关的事，或对已说的话添加一些说明时使用。
4. It could be most anything, knowing Pete．
知道Pete这个人（的脾气），就知道这有可能是任何东西。意思是说，Pete这个人点子多，他说的惊喜到底是什么，这很难猜准了。
knowing Pete: 这里的动词现在分词短语起状语作用，表示原因。
5. Oh, my gosh!
啊呀，天哪。
这句话用来表示惊奇。gosh是为了避免直接说God而转的音。
6. You haven't changed a bit.
你们一点也没有变。这也是久别重逢时常用的寒暄语。
7. We were together in the Thursday night drama society.
我们当年一起参加周四晚上的戏剧社。
society: 这里指的是社团，团体。

【故事梗概】
在享受老友重聚的欢乐的同时，大家都对Pete所说的惊喜非常好奇，并急于知道答案。
Lillian: Remember me, Malcolm?
Grandpa: Oh, beautiful as ever, Lillian. How's Donald? [He suddenly realizes that he has said the wrong thing.]
Lillian: That's OK, Malcolm. Donald passed away a couple of years ago.
Arnold: Sorry to hear that, Lillian.
Peggy: Oh, I'm so sorry.
Arnold: I would not have missed this get-together for the world!
Grandpa: And your little surprise, Pete? You really surprised me by having us all come together.
Pete: You don't know what the surprise is yet? Come on! We'll tell you the big surprise.
[They walk back to the table with Pete. Pete pours iced tea for them. ]
Pete: I've invited you here for the weekend to help celebrate.
Peggy: Celebrate?
Grandpa: Our fiftieth reunion?
Arnold: No.

噢，Lillian，你还是那么美丽。
as ever: 一直，依旧。
2. I would not have missed this get-together for the world!
我无论如何都不会错过这个聚会。
I would not have missed … for the world! : 这是个非正式的说法。当你要表达乐于参加某一活动时，可以用这种表达方式。
for the world: 是强调语，用在否定句中时表示“无论如何”，用在肯定句中时表示“每一方面都，从各方面来看都”，也可以说“for all the world”。

我请你们大家到这儿来度周末，是想让你们帮助庆祝一下。
for the weekend: 度周末。
celebrate: 庆祝。
4. Our fiftieth reunion?
reunion: 在美国，同班同学通常都会聚会。这种聚会一般是从高中或大学毕业后的五或十年开始，以后每隔五年聚一次，通常在6月份，即学校举行毕业典礼的时候进行。很多人都喜欢和老同班同学聚会，来重温友谊，缅怀过去。不过，也有人因久不相见怕会感到不自在而回避这种聚会。
5. Now, let me have the honor, Lillian.
let me have the honor: 请让我有做这件事的荣幸，请允许我来做这件事。这是非常客气的话。have the honor:荣幸地，有幸地。
