听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》 I Dream of Feeny - 8（在线收听） |
| Knock, knock. Mr Matthews? What a surprise! Where're your parents? They didn't bring me. I took the bus. Actually they don't even know I'm here. I've brought you a germanium. Geranium. Didn't I say germanium? Yes, you did. In fact, germanium is a chemical element. Atomic weight, 72.59, it's used as a semi-conductor. Your brain must weigh so much. A geranium is a lovely plant. In California, they can grow to the size of a bush. Huh. So this is a hospital, huh? Ah, is this your grandson? No. No way. Not at all. What he said. This is one of my students, Cory Matthews. Cory, this is Nurse Jill. Well, it's nice to see one of your students came to visit you, George. She calls you by your first name? Don't blow it for me, you little weasel. Huh. I stashed two bottles of that pineapple juice you like, in case you and your none-grandson wanna have one. I am eternally grateful. Cory, you stay as long as you like. And if a big dragon in a hat that says headnurse tries to kick you out, you tell her you are a friend of Jill, OK? OK. See you later, George. She seems nice. Yes, indeed. Very nice. Did we just have like a guy moment? Yes, I suppose we did. Why are you here, Mr Matthews? I mean a hospital is a very scary place. I guess I want to see with my own eyes that you are OK. Thank you for your good thoughts. And that you're not dead. Oh, I can't die, Mr Matthews. I have too much work left undone, too many students left untaught. Like me? Especially you. In a strange way, you've kept me alive. I'm glad, because there still might be some stuff you are gonna teach me that I'm gonna need someday. Like what? Like say, I'm walking down the street, and some guy comes up to me and says, "what's the atomic weight of geranium?" Thanks to you, I'll be able to say, "that's a plant, you idiot!" Huh... Dragon alert. Lay low. Maybe I'd better go so I don't get Nurse Jill in trouble. Thank you very much for coming, Mr Matthews. You've made me feel much better. I feel better too. Mr Feeny, thank you! For what? I don't know yet. |
