Bradford: Daniel, I want to talk to you.
Daniel: Great, another scotch lecture.
Bradford: I’ve been thinking about your brother.
Daniel: So this where you tell me what a disappointment I’ve been, right? How I’ll never fill Alex’s shoes?
Bradford: Alex died two years ago. This is about you. You’ve really proven yourself these past few months. One day, Meade Publication is going to be in your hands.
Daniel: Right, Dad. Whatever you say.
Bradford: I mean it. Tomorrow, after the show, I plan on announcing my intentions to the press.
Daniel: Thank you.
Bradford: I’m proud of you, son.
重点讲解:
1. fill one’s shoes 很好地顶替;令人满意地替代
2. be in your hands 在你手中,由你掌握,由你处理
3. I mean it. 我是认真的,我是说真的。
