Watch the video then answer the question: What does Philip decide to do?

[ In the Stewarts' house early Saturday morning. Grandpa is making breakfast as Robbie enters. ]

Robbie: Hi, Grandpa.

嗨,爷爷。

Grandpa: Hi, Robbie.

嗨,罗比。

Robbie: Can I help?

要我帮忙吗?

Grandpa: Yes, indeed. Hand me two eggs from the refrigerator, and I'll make you two fried eggs.

好啊,正好需要。帮我从冰箱拿两个鸡蛋,我给你煎两个。

Robbie: How about some bacon?

要不要来点培根?

Grandpa: I made enough for an army. You going to the baseball game today?  It's a perfect day for it --a little cloudy but nice and warm.

我做了一大堆。你今天去看棒球赛吗?天气正好,有点多云,但挺暖和。

Robbie: Dad and I were planning to go to the game, but he has to work today, and my friends don't want to go.  It's not an important game, anyway.

我本来打算和爸爸一起去看的,但他今天要工作,我朋友也不想去。反正这场比赛也不重要。

Grandpa: Do you have any other plans for the day?

那你今天还有别的安排吗?

Robbie: I'll work on my computer. I have a new math program, and I want to learn how to use it.

我打算研究一下电脑。我有个新的数学软件,想学学怎么用。

Grandpa: Maybe you can teach me how to work on a computer someday.

哪天你教教我怎么用电脑吧。

Robbie: Anytime. It's really easy, but, like anything, you need to work at it, Grandpa.

随时都行。其实很简单,不过跟别的东西一样,得多练,爷爷。

[ They begin to eat breakfast. ]

Robbie: [eating ] This bacon is great. I love crispy bacon.

这培根太好吃了,我就喜欢这种脆的。

Grandpa: Oh, what are you doing tomorrow?

对了,你明天打算干嘛?

Robbie: Nothing much.

没什么特别的。

Grandpa: Well, maybe your dad and I could take you fishing with us.

那也许我和你爸爸可以带你去钓鱼。

Robbie: I'd like that, but ...

我挺想去的,不过…

Grandpa: But what?

不过什么?

Robbie: But Dad is always so busy.

就是爸爸总是太忙了。

Grandpa: Well, can you come fishing with me tomorrow?

那你明天跟我去钓鱼怎么样?

Robbie: Sure, I can.

当然可以。

[ Later that morning. Philip is eating breakfast quickly. He is speaking with Grandpa. ]

Grandpa: Robbie says you can't take him to the game today.

罗比说你今天不能带他去看比赛。

Philip: I really feel bad about it, but they need me at the hospital today, in the children's ward.

我也觉得挺对不起他的,但今天医院那边需要我… 在儿童病房那边。

Grandpa: I understand.

我理解。

Philip: Maybe we can spend some time together next weekend.

也许下个周末我们可以一起待一会儿。

Grandpa: Definitely. We should. You and Robbie and me. Remember our first fishing trip?

Philip: I sure do.... Well, I've got to run, Dad. See you later. [ He leaves. ]

当然记得… 我得先走了,爸。回头见。

[ On the patio later that day. Grandpa is looking at some fishing gear, things he will need for catching fish. Philip enters. ]

Philip: Going fishing?

要去钓鱼吗?

Grandpa: I'm thinking about it.... So, how's work?

Philip: Oh, the usual problems.

还是老样子,一堆问题。

Grandpa: You're working pretty hard these days.

你这段时间挺辛苦的。

Philip: I guess I am.

好像是挺忙的。

Grandpa: When did you last go fishing with Robbie?

你上次和罗比去钓鱼是什么时候?

Philip: I remember exactly.  It was on his birthday, June second, two years ago. [ He laughs. ] We didn't catch anything.

我记得很清楚,是他两年前的生日,6月2号。我们什么也没钓到。

Grandpa: Remember our fishing trips?

还记得我们以前去钓鱼吗?

Philip: Yes. I loved them.

记得,我特别喜欢。

Grandpa: Remember catching your first fish?

还记得你第一次钓到鱼吗?

Philip: How can I forget? I fell out of the boat! We had some good times together.

怎么会忘?我还掉到船外去了!那段时间真挺开心的。

Grandpa: Yes, we did. Maybe we should do it again.

是啊,要不我们再去一次吧。

Philip: How about tomorrow?

明天怎么样?

Grandpa: Don't you have to work?

你不用上班吗?

Philip: My paper work will wait.

那些报告可以先放一放。
