658　A Surprise Visit 出乎意料的访问

Don't ever pay a surprise visit to a child in college. You might be the one getting the surprise. I learned this when I swung by my son's campus during a business trip. Locating what I thought was his fraternity house, I rang the doorbell. “Yeah?” a voice called from inside. “Does John Smith live here?” “Yup,” the voice answered. “Leave him on the front porch. We'll drag him in later.”

不要出乎意料地访问在大学里的孩子。出乎意料的可能倒是你自己。这是我这次出差途中顺便走访我儿子的校园后得出的结论。我找到了我认为是他住的男生宿舍的房子，按响了门铃。从里面传出来一个声音：“唔？”“约翰·史密斯住在这里吗？”那个声音回答说：“是。让他呆在前面门廊里吧。我们过一会儿会把他拽进来的。”
