He's coming over to talk about it.
查看中文翻译
Morning, Grandpa.
查看中文翻译
But there's the old community center on Elm Street.
查看中文翻译
Is it that serious a problem, Grandpa?
查看中文翻译
which has been vacant for over a year now,
查看中文翻译
was supposed to be made into a community center
查看中文翻译
to serve the senior citizens
查看中文翻译
He lives alone
查看中文翻译
and for the furniture needed,
查看中文翻译
Is something the matter, Grandpa?
查看中文翻译
for the repainting of the interior of the building
查看中文翻译
the plans for the community center
查看中文翻译
have been postponed indefinitely."
查看中文翻译
It is.
查看中文翻译
"The old library building on Chestnut Street,
查看中文翻译
It's too noisy for some older people like Nat.
查看中文翻译
to be with people -- people his own age.
查看中文翻译
and the problem is that it's set up primarily for kids to play.
查看中文翻译
Due to lack of funds
查看中文翻译
The editorial in this paper has my friend Nat Baker real upset.
查看中文翻译
He doesn't have any family with him.
查看中文翻译
Ah! I'll read it to you.
查看中文翻译
Ping-Pong tables, soda machines, and lots of music.
查看中文翻译
It's small,
查看中文翻译
Nat's not as lucky as I am, Robbie.
查看中文翻译
as well as the younger people of Riverdale.
查看中文翻译
and depends on places like a community center
查看中文翻译
My final exam is next Tuesday.
查看中文翻译
It's hard for some older people to take all that noise.
查看中文翻译
Part of the building for older people,
查看中文翻译
He'll do anything to avoid getting down to math lessons,
查看中文翻译
It could be Alexandra.
查看中文翻译
That's why the new community center is a good idea.
查看中文翻译
I thought that was Nat Baker who rang the front doorbell.
查看中文翻译
I was the same way.
查看中文翻译
Hi, Mr. Stewart.
查看中文翻译
She's coming over this morning to help me with my math.
查看中文翻译
I really appreciate you coming over to help me with my math.
查看中文翻译
I never realized that.
查看中文翻译
You're so good in all your other subjects.
查看中文翻译
That must be Nat.
查看中文翻译
Do you want something cold to drink?
查看中文翻译
We're just having some cola
查看中文翻译
why you have so many problems with math.
查看中文翻译
Mr. Stewart.
查看中文翻译
I just can't understand
查看中文翻译
Hi, Alexandra.
查看中文翻译
Really. I didn't like math.
查看中文翻译
before getting to the tough stuff -- math.
查看中文翻译
Cola coming up.
查看中文翻译
Hi, Robbie.
查看中文翻译
Don't let me interrupt you.
查看中文翻译
part of the building for younger people.
查看中文翻译
I see what you mean.
查看中文翻译
No problem, Grandpa.
查看中文翻译
Hi, Alexandra. Come on in.
查看中文翻译
Really, Grandpa?
查看中文翻译
I'd love some cola, please.
查看中文翻译
I wasn't good at it, and I didn't like studying it.
查看中文翻译
I did.
查看中文翻译
I was. But not in high school.
查看中文翻译
It's a serious matter for a lot of us.
查看中文翻译
I'd like you to meet my friend Nat Baker.
查看中文翻译
That must be Nat.
查看中文翻译
I know you want to get to it.
查看中文翻译
Hi, Mr. Baker. We met before.
查看中文翻译
if you skip it now.
查看中文翻译
Then, in college, I became good at it.
查看中文翻译
Stay… stay.
查看中文翻译
You graduated from engineering school.
查看中文翻译
I can't wait.
查看中文翻译
I told you. He'll use any excuse to avoid math.
查看中文翻译
In town. At the hardware store.
查看中文翻译
whom I think you've met once or twice before.
查看中文翻译
Where?
查看中文翻译
A serious matter.
查看中文翻译
For some reason, I couldn't get a handle on it.
查看中文翻译
You think I can just skip it now and get to it at college?
查看中文翻译
I remember now. Right. Hi.
查看中文翻译
Then there's hope for Robbie.
查看中文翻译
But you had to be good at math.
查看中文翻译
Sit down, Robbie. Let's get to work.
查看中文翻译
Hello, Alexandra.
查看中文翻译
Don't let us keep you from your math tutoring, Robbie.
查看中文翻译
You'll never get to college to find out, Robbie,
查看中文翻译
Did you read the story in the paper, Malcolm?
查看中文翻译
This is Alexandra Pappas, and this is my grandson Robbie,
查看中文翻译
Nice to meet you, Mr. Baker.
查看中文翻译
We might need you to come through with your friends, Robbie.
查看中文翻译
I'll find the people to help do it.
查看中文翻译
Not just to go around the neighborhood asking for furniture,
查看中文翻译
I'll help too, Mr. Baker.
查看中文翻译
If you would supervise the refurbishing,
查看中文翻译
I'll do it. I'll talk to them.
查看中文翻译
I'll help.
查看中文翻译
Sure.
查看中文翻译
I could probably tell what it requires to fix it up.
查看中文翻译
It is. Come on out to the patio.
查看中文翻译
If I could take a look at the place,
查看中文翻译
Can we help?
查看中文翻译
It's certainly a good idea.
查看中文翻译
We'll talk about it out there.
查看中文翻译
Thanks. Nice to meet you… again.
查看中文翻译
There is a way, Malcolm.
查看中文翻译
We get our friends to roll their sleeves up and get to work.
查看中文翻译
and collect the furniture we need.
查看中文翻译
And tomorrow morning we'll all meet here to discuss the plan?
查看中文翻译
I'd really like to.
查看中文翻译
That's what I came to ask you to do, Malcolm.
查看中文翻译
Come on! You'll hear about it.
查看中文翻译
Tomorrow. Yes. We'll meet tomorrow morning, right here.
查看中文翻译
but to help with the paint job.
查看中文翻译
What's the problem?
查看中文翻译
That's backbreaking work and may be too much for us.
查看中文翻译
I can get some of my friends to go around the neighborhood
查看中文翻译
How much paint, how many hours of work…
查看中文翻译
Weren't they going to be here this morning?
查看中文翻译
Robbie left early this morning to meet Alexandra.
查看中文翻译
Frankly, I thought they'd be here, but…
查看中文翻译
I thought so, too.
查看中文翻译
My pleasure, Malcolm.
查看中文翻译
Sit down, sit down. Have some coffee.
查看中文翻译
It's OK. I'm sure they meant well,
查看中文翻译
I understand you used to be in the construction business,
查看中文翻译
and make sure that it is in good condition
查看中文翻译
Hello, Mr. Stewart.
查看中文翻译
and used to play drums with the jazz band on weekends.
查看中文翻译
Malcolm.
查看中文翻译
Oh, sure I do. Hi, Abe.
查看中文翻译
He ran the drugstore
查看中文翻译
And this is Abe Lucas. You must remember Abe.
查看中文翻译
I wonder if you would take a look at the old library
查看中文翻译
Come in, come in. Please, come in.
查看中文翻译
And I've got some delicious Danish pastry for you.
查看中文翻译
I'm surprised they're not here.
查看中文翻译
so that we don't have to worry about any structural problems.
查看中文翻译
Where's your grandson Robbie and his friend Alexandra?
查看中文翻译
Hello, Malcolm.
查看中文翻译
Malcolm, please.
查看中文翻译
but they probably had other things on their minds.
查看中文翻译
Hello, Joanne. Nice to meet you.
查看中文翻译
I was, indeed.
查看中文翻译
Malcolm, this is Joanne Thompson.
查看中文翻译
I'd like you to meet my friend Malcolm Stewart.
查看中文翻译
Tomorrow morning it is.
查看中文翻译
Then we have to furnish it.
查看中文翻译
If only Robbie and Alexandra were here.
查看中文翻译
That's fine with me. I can do it either day.
查看中文翻译
And a good paint job.
查看中文翻译
Tuesday or Wednesday.
查看中文翻译
during the week --
查看中文翻译
As I said, mostly the building just needs a good cleaning.
查看中文翻译
I think the building just needs a good cleaning.
查看中文翻译
I wish Robbie and Alexandra had come to this meeting.
查看中文翻译
That's an idea I like.
查看中文翻译
And programs that don't leave anyone out.
查看中文翻译
This place can be developed
查看中文翻译
Go ahead, Joanne.
查看中文翻译
OK.
查看中文翻译
let me give you some additional thoughts and ideas I have.
查看中文翻译
When can I do that? I'd be happy to.
查看中文翻译
Don't be upset, Malcolm.
查看中文翻译
That would be very helpful.
查看中文翻译
It's asking a lot.
查看中文翻译
with the kinds of programs that fit everyone.
查看中文翻译
Finding out what they want.
查看中文翻译
We've got permission to go inside the old building
查看中文翻译
Perhaps they'll show up. In the meantime,
查看中文翻译
A community center
查看中文翻译
But we can't do it without talking to the young people.
查看中文翻译
with one real intergenerational program.
查看中文翻译
They had some ideas about getting the place fixed up.
查看中文翻译
We'll have a chance to talk to them later.
查看中文翻译
who's responsible for this meeting,
查看中文翻译
Hi, Mr. Stewart.
查看中文翻译
Robbie and Alexandra told me
查看中文翻译
I wonder what the problem is.
查看中文翻译
He wrote some nice articles on Mom
查看中文翻译
From what Robbie and Alexandra have told me,
查看中文翻译
You remember Charles Maxwell, Grandpa?
查看中文翻译
have been busy at work this morning
查看中文翻译
on the community-center project.
查看中文翻译
who used to run the drugstore in town.
查看中文翻译
If he says he's going to be here, he's here.
查看中文翻译
And we brought someone along who can help.
查看中文翻译
Hope to be a bigger help on the new community-center project.
查看中文翻译
you people are making one big story.
查看中文翻译
OK. Now, I have… first… a couple of questions here.
查看中文翻译
Hi, everyone. Sorry I'm late.
查看中文翻译
I am planning to write an editorial that I think will help you.
查看中文翻译
what you need to fix up the old library.
查看中文翻译
But Alexandra and I
查看中文翻译
Let me introduce you, Mr. Maxwell.
查看中文翻译
It's not like Robbie.
查看中文翻译
Let's go. What are your questions?
查看中文翻译
and this is Joanne Thompson -- and Abe Lucas,
查看中文翻译
when she was running for the school board.
查看中文翻译
This is Nat Baker,
查看中文翻译
He's the editor of the Riverdale paper.
查看中文翻译
Yes, I remember. You were a great help.
查看中文翻译
Have you talked to the community council?
查看中文翻译
Are there any special requirements that I should list in the paper?
查看中文翻译
To do what?
查看中文翻译
These items shouldn't be difficult to come by
查看中文翻译
To help scrub the building interior clean.
查看中文翻译
Let's see. Four desks.
查看中文翻译
And you also need bodies to do repainting?
查看中文翻译
That's right.
查看中文翻译
So that we can repaint it.
查看中文翻译
Eight straight-back chairs. Thirty folding chairs.
查看中文翻译
once I print the article in the paper.
查看中文翻译
Six table lamps. Three end tables. One piano.
查看中文翻译
How about furnishings?
查看中文翻译
I've got the council to agree
查看中文翻译
And we'll also need some ladders
查看中文翻译
People power.
查看中文翻译
When do you need the volunteers,
查看中文翻译
Yes.
查看中文翻译
And have you had an engineer come in to do an inspection?
查看中文翻译
and some brushes and some paint.
查看中文翻译
to open the building for us on the next four weekends.
查看中文翻译
Men and women, young and old, to give us their time.
查看中文翻译
Here is a copy of all the things we need to start with.
查看中文翻译
and where do they report?
查看中文翻译
This is a good start.
查看中文翻译
OK, what do you need most of all?
查看中文翻译
This community has always been very generous.
查看中文翻译
I agree, Mr. Maxwell.
查看中文翻译
there's no way we can complete this project.
查看中文翻译
The original plan by the council
查看中文翻译
"At the Stewart family home on Linden Street yesterday,
查看中文翻译
a group of caring Riverdale citizens gathered
查看中文翻译
Oh, here. On the ground floor we have the reception area…
查看中文翻译
I've got it. Now give me some information about
查看中文翻译
how you see the building being used.
查看中文翻译
A list of these items and a volunteer form
查看中文翻译
from the various generations of future users.
查看中文翻译
And without their energy and stamina,
查看中文翻译
and making it a new community center.
查看中文翻译
It's here, Robbie.
查看中文翻译
And it needs your contributions of furniture,
查看中文翻译
What you're saying is, in order for this center to succeed,
查看中文翻译
Charles Maxwell, Editor."
查看中文翻译
was tabled because of lack of funds.
查看中文翻译
The new plan needs you.
查看中文翻译
By working together,
查看中文翻译
paint, brushes, ladders, lamps, et cetera.
查看中文翻译
can be picked up at the Riverdale Press offices.
查看中文翻译
You could call it a community unity plan.
查看中文翻译
Charles Maxwell lived up to his word.
查看中文翻译
It needs your time, and it needs your energy.
查看中文翻译
to plan the refurbishing of the old library
查看中文翻译
this community can do anything to benefit its citizens,
查看中文翻译
and we know you will all work together
查看中文翻译
we need to put together volunteers
查看中文翻译
towards refurbishing the old library
查看中文翻译
to transform it into a new community center.
查看中文翻译
That's right.
查看中文翻译
