Now, before we finish let's look at another phrase connected with fatherhood. This one means a long time before you were born.
Yang Li: 下面大家将要听到另一个短语，表示在一个人远远没有出生的时候。是侄女和叔叔之间的一段对话。
---------------------------
Example
Woman: I didn't know you used to have a motorbike!
我不知道你一直有摩托车。
Man: Oh yes. I had one for a couple of years... it must have been in the sixties, before you were even a twinkle in your father's eye!
是的，我买摩托车已经有2年了。那应该是60年代，你那时还没出生呢
------------------------------
William: Did you catch it? It's quite a long phrase – 'Before you were even a twinkle in your father's eye.' Or you can say, 'You weren't even a twinkle in your father's eye.'
Yang Li: A twinkle 眼睛发亮闪光，就像星星的闪烁一样。You weren't even a twinkle in your father's eye 这是个很幽默的短语意思是，你那时还没出生呢。So, there you go, two interesting phrases relating to fatherhood. Happy Father's Day!
William: Happy Father's Day!
William's Dad: Thank you!
