本人2010年带公司的公务护照,去美国三次,跑了很多城市,留下美好回忆(也有不美好的),公务护照嘛,都知道的,需要回国后上交。
一转眼4年过去了,准备去美国再次游历,当然只能是因私护照了,我什么也没准备,只填了DS-160,交了签证费等表格。没准备工作证明、收入证明,什么房产证,行驶证,什么都没拿。哦对了,我也没那么自信,带了10张之前在美国的照片。
约了上午11点,各种安检,交资料,跟当时2010年有什么变化吗?没啥子大变化。
VO是三十多岁白人男,记得3年前好像也是白人男。上交必要的资料。开始:
我:Good morning. seems like you are quite so busy eh?
VO: Hi, oh yes. Have you ever been to the US before?
我:Yes, I've uh been to the US three times in 2010, I don't know whether you can check the record because I was using business passport back then. You know this is my first time using my own money to travel(我笑), it's very expensive yes but I am OK to afford it now(我笑).
VO(小笑):OK, well uh, what did you do in the US in 2010?
我:Half business half travel, you know, there was my first time ever been in the US, so I took the chance to travel with COMPANY's money as much as I could. I've been to New York, Philadelphia, Houston, Atlanta, Kansas City, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Here, here are the pictures in there in case you don't have the record in the computer.
(把照片递了进去,一小摞照片,VO在翻看)
VO: Well, what impressed you in each city?
我确实去了,要问每个城市,每个城市对你的深刻印象,就得最快速度回想和编撰,不论是否是最深刻的印象,what pops up in brain in flash.
我:Well uh...New York the big apple, I could walk in there, or took subways, the Philadelphia, the Independence Hall was always under construction eh, Houston was hot, hot me to death really, um the uh Atlanta, yes, the MARTA card you know the subway, cannot be returned, I am sad that I bought two cards and took them home, Las Vegas yea Vegas baby, I was walking on the street at 1 o'clock in the morning can you believe it? and eh, Los Angeles, traffic jam I never saw the day time LA....Yes.
VO(这次真笑了)
VO: Which city do you like best
我:Well um, uh I might say New York because I don't have car, I can walk in there and take subways.
VO:Do you have enough fund to support your travel in there?
终于问钱了,我决定赌一次,如果问我要证明,我就说没准备,不愿意bother现在的单位,因为我自信,看在我之前去过的份上,让我过吧
我:Yea, absolutely, I have savings also incomes every month, that is not a problem for me to travel for 10 days along.
VO:OK, you have a wonderful trip!
我:Grrreat, thank you sir, wish you have a pleasant day as well.
这次挺自信挺冒险。没有多准备资料,就只能多说话了,好歹都是真实情况。关键是轻松自信,聊天性质,必过,trust me。另外,真正老外聊天各种uh,em作为停顿思考,完全可以用,这样就不至于
被看出是被问懵了。 |
