地道美語聽力播客597:辦簽證去旅游

Yesenia: I have a great idea. Let's plan a big party for your mother's 70th birthday. We'll invite all of your relatives from all over the world.

葉塞尼亞：我有一個好主意。讓我們?yōu)槟銒寢尩?0大壽辦一場盛大派對。我們將會邀請你們家在世界各地的親戚朋友。

Julian: I don't think very many of them can afford to travel half way around the world for a party.

朱利安：我認為他們中很多人不會為了參加一個派對而去負擔穿越半球的路費。

Yesenia: I've already spoken with your rich brother and he's already offered to pay for your family's airfare and hotel. If we plan it, he'll pay for it.

葉塞尼亞：這個我已經(jīng)和你富裕的哥哥說過了，他已經(jīng)準備好支付你親戚的飛機票和酒店的費用了。如果我們計劃好，他就會負責付款。

Julian: Julio offered to do that? Well, if he's on board then we can give it a shot. But here's another hitch. My extended family lives in a lot of different countries and I'm not sure they'll get visas to visit the U.S., especially on short notice.

朱利安：胡里奧來支付?好吧，如果他同意，那我們可以試一試。不過這還有一個問題，我的大家庭住在很多不用的國家，我不確定他們在這么短的時間內能不能辦好來美國的簽證。

Yesenia: Let's try, anyway. Your cousins in Canada don't need a visa because most Canadian citizens don't need one to cross the border. What about your uncle in Korea?

葉塞尼亞：不管怎樣，就讓我們試試吧!你在加拿大的表兄弟不需要簽證，因為大多數(shù)加拿大市民不需要穿越邊界。你在韓國的叔叔呢?

Julian: He's already in the U.S. on an exchange visitor visa until June. He should be able to come.

朱利安：他有交流訪問學著簽證可以在美國一直待到6月，他應該可以過來。

Yesenia: What about your aunt in Greece?

葉塞尼亞：那你希臘的姑媽呢?

Julian: She won't need a visa because Greece is one of the countries in the Visa Waiver Program.

朱利安：她不需要，因為希臘是出入美國的免簽證國之一。

Yesenia: Do you think your nephews in South Africa will want to come?

葉塞尼亞：你認為你南非的侄子愿意過來嗎?

Julian: I'm not sure what the visa situation is there. We'll have to check with the State Department.

朱利安：我不確定南非簽證辦理情況，我們會問一下美國國務院。

Yesenia: I'll get on the horn first thing in the morning to see what I can find out. I might email them and ask them to check with the embassy or consulate there to be sure. This party is really shaping up.

葉塞尼亞：今天早上我會先打電話問問，看看我可以查到的情況。我可能發(fā)郵件向那邊的大使館或領事館確定一下的。這個派對真的成型了。

Julian: You seem to have it all under control.

朱利安：似乎一切都在你的掌控之中。

Yesenia: Haven't you always said that party planning is my middle name?

葉塞尼亞：你不是經(jīng)常說籌劃派對是我的強項嗎?
