ME: Good morning, Sir!
VO: Good morning, how are you?
ME: Fine!
VO: What do you study now?
ME: I am studying Electrical Engineering at XXX University.
VO: Why do you go to the United States?
ME: I will study EE for my master degree at XX University. (现在回想起来,感觉这个问题回答得不好,所以VO才会有下面的那一问。)
VO: Why US, not China?
ME: Because the graduate program at XX University is very attractive to me. Several professors are IEEE members, and their research area focus on the Electronics. That is exactly what…. (被VO打断 )。
VO: Who will pay for your study?
ME: My parents. Would you like to see the certificates?
VO: Sure.
(从风琴夹里拿财力证明)
VO: What do your parents do?
ME: My mother work in the XXX Company, and my father work in the XXXX.
I made a list about my parents’ financial situation and assets. And these are the financial documents. (把list放在面上,财力证明文件放在底下)
VO: (一边看材料一边问我) Your parents work in Guangzhou now?
ME: No, they are working in Shunde. Do you know Shunde? That’s a great city.
VO: I know that. I have been there. (大胡子终于给了我难得的一笑)
VO: Can you give me their working certificates?
ME: Sure, wait a moment. (从风琴夹里拿出父母的工作证明递给VO)
VO 很认真地翻看。
ME: (沉默了半秒,感觉不妥,接着说)I bring some magazines about my mother’s company, would you like to see?
VO: No need. I know that company.
ME: Would you like to see the bankbook?
VO: No need.
然后大胡子双手把材料推出给我,心里顿时想“完了”,…, 还没反应过来,大胡子就从右边的小架子里抽出蓝条,撕开,夹进护照,说“go to the window … and take you visa.”。
大喜,连忙接过蓝条,说“Thank you very much. Have a nice day!”大胡子还是很有礼貌的回了我一句:“You too.”
当然不是啦!Cowcow, 我不能简单地用“感谢”两个字来表达我现在的心情。我想起了很多很多的往事…你托你妈妈在北京出差时帮我买The Merriam-Webster Dictionary; 陪我一起上东方的G班;我快要考T时帮我修改T的作文;一起选校,办申请材料,寄材料;在冬天特别冷的时候,借你的热水壶给我煮水洗澡……
是你教会了我如何欣赏 Faye Wong (Now I really love the song of “催眠”); 是你让我发觉自身的缺点与不足……
Anyway, I will treasure these forever in my heart!
还想说一点,其实去美国并不是通向成功的唯一一条路,DDMM千万别因为拒签而放弃自己啊。
最后祝愿我们的祖国日益强大,期待中美相互免签那一天的到来!
