签证成功(2)

　　VO：Have you ever been abroad？　你以前去过国外吗？

　　Me：Yes, I’ve been to the United Kingdom. Do you want to see my old passport？ 是的，我去过英国。您想看我的旧护照吗？

　　VO: Yes. 是。

　　(I give her the passport through the slit, VO takes a brief look)(我把旧护照递给签证官，她看了一下)

　　VO: How many schools did you apply for？　你一共申请了多少所学校？

　　Me: Just this one, I didn’t have time to apply for others.　就这一所。我没有时间申请别的学校了。

　　VO: So, why do you want to go to Phillips Academy instead of high schools here？ 那么，你为什么想去上菲利普斯学校而不在这里上高中呢？

　　Me: I have been to Britain before, and I have experienced what education was like in the western world. I think the Chinese Education System is too rigid, and focuses too much on tests. I think Andover’s course system suits me well; it not only focuses on students’ intellectual abilities, but also focuses on the goodness of the morality of students. I think if I went, I would be able to become a good person, a decent person.我以前在英国上过小学，对西方国家的教育体制有所了解。我觉得中国的教育体制太死板、太注重考试了。我觉得安多福的课程设置很适合我，它不仅重视对学生智力能力的培养，而且还重视对学生优秀的道德行为的培养。如果我能去那里上学的话，我将成为一个优秀的人，一个高尚并值得尊重的人。

　　VO(smiling笑了)：Well, we like decent people. 当然，我们喜欢高尚的人。(她离开一会儿)

　　(On coming back, VO types furiously on a computer, not saying a word)(回来时，她向计算机打入许多信息，没说话)

　　VO又问了一些关于父母的情况，我如实回答了。

　　(VO continues typing. After few seconds, she tears a red piece of paper, gives it to me)(签证官继续打字。过了一会儿，她撕下一张红色的纸给我)

　　VO：Please wait a minute, then when you’re called, please go to window 10 to get your visa. 请稍等一会儿，等叫到你时，到10号窗口去拿你的已签证的护照。

　　Me: Thank you, thank you very much! 谢谢！非常感谢您！
