Ray:I am glad to say I have never broken the law.In addition,I have been studying the laws of the United States so that there will be no problem when I go there.I have been and always will be a honest,law-abiding man.

Coleman:Are you aware many Chinese travel to the USA on temporary visas,then immigrate after that?Do you promise not to do that?

Ray:Also,sir,how long will it take you to make your decision on my visa?

Coleman:It will take about two to three weeks.We will call you with an answer.

申请商务签证

考曼:你具备哪些特殊技巧?

李:我曾经受教于四位美国英语老师。我跟他们中的许多人都有跨文化交流。(这里是他们对我的英语和商务英语技巧的推荐信。)

考曼:我知道了,这类的推荐信会增大你获得签证的机会。为了保险起见,我必须问你,是否你有犯罪记录。你是否曾在中国犯过罪?

李:我很高兴地说我从来都没有违法行为。而且我正在学习美国法律,以便我在到达那儿后做一个知法守法的人。我一直是,而且将永远是诚实、守法的人。

考曼:你知道有很多中国人在获得临时签证去美国后就移民吗?你发誓你不会那样做吗?

李:我向您保证我永远不会离弃我的家人。您从我的签证申请材料上可以看到,邀请我去美国的公司保证他们会负责我在两年的学习期满后回到中国。

考曼:请在这张纸上签名,说明你在今天的签证面试或签证申请表上没有撒谎行为。您在签证申请面试时的诚实无欺是很重要的。

李:是的,我也这样认为,诚实对我也很重要。在这张纸上签名是我的荣幸。

考曼:你还有什么问题想问我吗?

李:当然,谢谢你。您能告诉我一些出国我还需要做哪些准备吗?

考曼:你最好的准备就是现在开始读一些美国报纸。尽量找一些距你的目的地近的地方出版的报纸。马里兰州的巴尔的摩有一份报纸非常有名,叫作“巴尔的摩太阳报”。你可以开始阅读这份报纸。

李:另外,先生,您需要多长时间就我的签证申请做出决定?

考曼:要两到三周的时间。一旦有结果的时候我们会通知你。

李:谢谢您,先生。你可真的是太和蔼了。

考曼:不客气,李先生。不过我可没有保证任何事情。

工作切勿忽略吃饭

lunch指的是中午过后稍晚才吃的那一餐。一直到将近20世纪时,上班族在中午用餐才变成一种常态性的用餐习惯。

自助餐厅(cafeterias)是在1890年开始普及的,在那之后有越来越多贩卖午餐的小餐馆(luncheonettes)也渐渐加入供餐的行列。又小又窄的午餐餐厅很容易一眼能辨认出来,店内的特色就是没有长长的吧台以及让客人坐着用餐的高脚椅。

人们对于午餐的用餐场所的需求量变大,最后甚至连一般的商店(general stores)也陆续增设了午餐吧台来供应餐点。

当自助餐提供消费者一盘又一盘的肉(meat)和马铃薯泥(mashed potatoes)的同时,脑筋动得快的商店老板则靠热汤(hot soup)、熟食(deli)、三明治(sandwiches)和各式各样点心和蛋糕(desserts and cakes)来为自己赚进更多的钞票。在辛苦工作了一个早上之后,工作的人们只有一个小小的愿望——来电快速又美味的(quick and delicious)的东西填饱肚子!
