　　N: J, that’s a long time, when I was a kid, I can still remember the days spent with my grandfather, he was a warm and loving old man, we fish together, he taught me how to fish【注】N:ikky在讲述和爷爷在一起度过的童年美好时光。

　　B: he must be a great man

　　N: yes, he is, it was very, very interesting, I like him.

　　B: is he still alive?【注】有些问题真的是不应该问的，像一次和一个非常成功的CEO吃饭的时候，他已经快40岁了，我想孩子肯定有了吧，就顺嘴问道“小孩一定上中学了吧？”，结果CEO很尴尬的回答“我还没有小孩”，弄的我连忙找别的话题。

　　N: no, he died too many years ago

　　B: sorry to hear that, nikky

　　N: that’s alright, a long time ago
