And have a good stay in the Big Apple.祝你在纽约过得愉快。Have a good stay in...用于祝对方来访愉快。the Big Apple，纽约市的别称。 3. Please look us up. look (us) up相当于call or visit (us)，即“与（我们）联系，到（我们）家里来玩”。这个短语用来邀对方来访。 4. Were in the phone book. 你可以在电话簿中找到我们（家的地址和电话号码）。美国的电话簿上不只有姓名和电话号码，还列有住址。 5. And dont be so independent. Youre very lucky to have a caring family.还有，别太不依赖别人了。你很幸运有关心你的家人。这是Eisa的临别赠言。短暂的旅途交谈使Eisa洞察了Malcolm的心境，她临别的赠言既率直又温情。independent 独立的，不依赖的，有主见的。这是美国人非常重视的一种品质。family 既是家庭，又是家里人。在从父母的角度说时，family常指子女，如：They have a big family. （他们子女多。） Robbie: When can we go fishing?Grandpa: Robbie, well go fishing soon, and well take your dad with us.Philip: Im ready, Grandpa.
