听力简介：

王小姐到美国使馆签证，签证官Bob Jones受理她的申请，Bob得知王小姐是研究古迹的专家后，觉得这个行业很有意思。

B: Wow, that sounds like an interesting line of work. I see here you are a citizen of People's Republic of China.

W: That's correct.

B: According to United States law, I'm required to ask you some reasonably personal questions. ---1---.

W: No problem. Ask away.

B: ---2---? I'll need to see a bank statement.

W: Yes. I remembered to bring my bankbook. Here you are.

签证官Bob说，王小姐从事的行业似乎很有意思，line of work，指的是工作，行业。签证官Bob说，他要问王小姐一些个人问题，these are formalities. Formalities，意思是必要的形式。首先，签证申请人要证明自己的 financial stability，经济实力。

B: ---3---?

W: Absolutely not.

B: Do you have a criminal record in China?

W: No. Not even a parking ticket.

B: Ok...now I'm going to ask you sign a statement that affirms everything you just told me. If you sign this document, it's legally considered the same as swearing an oath in court. ---4---?

W: I do.

签证官问王小姐是否参与过恐怖活动，be involved with，意思是参与，涉及。签证官又问，do you have a criminal record in China? 在中国有没有犯罪记录。王小姐回答说，她连违章停车的罚单都没吃过。违章停车的罚单在英语里叫parking ticket. 签证官最后让王小姐在一份文件上签字，保证自己所说的一切属实。

B: Then please sign here. Thank you. Now I must inform you that anyone applying for a visa to the United States is required to have their fingerprints taken.

W: That's not a problem. So...---5---.

B: The processing time is usually about 5 days. If there is some problem, you'll get a call or an email.

W: Excellent. Thank you for your assistance Mr. Jones, you've been a great help.

B: Not at all...just doing my job. Enjoy your trip to the United States.

W: I certainly will!

王小姐签好字，还要做指纹取样，按签证官说的，anyone applying for a visa to the United States is required to have fingerprints taken. 凡是申请入境美国签证的人，都要提取指纹。

王小姐问签证申请几天才会有结果，签证官回答说，The processing time is about 5 days，办理签证大约要五天的时间，如果有问题，会电话或是电邮通知申请人，签证官最后还预祝王小姐去美国旅程顺利。
