ME: Good morning sir! It’s so great to meet you today!
VO: (同时)Hi, nice to see you, how are doing today?
Me: (我忘记了说fine, thank you, 就站定在大叔面前,作欲打开文件夹展示材料状)
VO: so you are studying in XXXX university of China?
Me: yea… (这里,我还主动地提出了我是在读一年级研究生,以为他会问我为什么放弃。。。)
VO: %^#&)_!#!+#@!
Me: I’m sorry, may I beg you pardon? (签证大厅里并不是很安静,有时候会听不清楚)
VO: @##$%^^ university?
Me: You mean which university I am going to in the US?
VO: (smile) yea!
ME: well, XXXX college, I am going to pursuing master’s degree in ……
VO: wow(比较夸张得表情和语气), that’s a very nice university! Why do you choose this university?
Me: Actually, the program offered in this university attract me first…......(大叔很NICE,没有打断我,一直在听,还好我并不是在背书)
VO: Did you get any scholarship from the university?
Me: yea, the scholarship from the university would cover 70% of my tuition. (心里正在盘算,要不要出示offer letter)
VO: wow, that’s very great! How did you apply to this university? Apply online? (从这里我开始觉得,其实大叔早就决定要给我签证了,可能是因为刚才一直没有说英语,所以就拉着我多说会儿,所以我也。。)
ME: I have prepared a lot for the application, I sent…. to the university via express….
Vo: (smile) so did your parents(说到parents的时候我以为要问财力证明的问题了,还很开心,辛苦准备的资料总算派得上用场了,可是)—— push you to be a doctor? (明显是在开玩笑)
Me: (smile too), hehe, I don’t think so……
Vo: well, please let me give you some advice on your study in US(说到advice的时候,我很是担心了一下,难道,难道,他要据我不成?~~~~)You need to enjoy your study life there and try to relax……when I talking to some students coming back from the US and ask them if they enjoy their life there? Most of them told me NO!…… you know, if you study too hard, you would give more pressure to American kids……(此时我只有点头、称谢、微笑的份儿了,刚才提起的石头重重的落了下来,更加确信了我刚才的猜测,大叔现在只不过在享受,而且真得很享受…我的粉条儿啊,什么时候才撕给我呀,)
ME: thank you so much for your kind words, I think I would enjoy the winter carnival in the university.(我不得不打断了大叔的advice,还是先给我粉条儿吧…现在想想觉得有点失礼了,其实我也可以享受那个过程才对,毕竟和签证官交流的时间真得太短了!)
Vo:wish you have a nice life in US.(终于撕了我的小粉条儿,并且一并把我I-20和Sevis费的收据还给了我)
ME: thank you so much sir, wish you have a nice day today! (此时已经忘记我说了多少谢谢了)
…… bye~~
