089 出乎意料的访问 A surprise visit

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 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."

我这次出差途中顺便走访我儿子的校园后得出的结论是: 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。

我找到了我认为是他住的房子,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,让他待在前面门廊里吧,我们过一会儿会把他拽进来的。"
