标题：美语三级跳 Go English：023A 移民入籍: 初级课程 听力内容： Amir已经在美国生活了几年，在考虑入籍成为美国公民。他找朋友Susan, 打听入籍的手续。 Professor: That's right, Winnie. Becoming an American citizen takes a lot of work. 嗯，我也听说要入籍，成为citizen - 公民，要作一番准备工作。希望Susan能给Amir一些好的建议。 Susan: Hi Amir, how are you? I haven't seen you lately. Amir: Hi Susan. I've been very busy lately applying to become a US citizen. It's a lot of work! Susan: Wow, it must be very complicated. Is everything going smoothly? Amir: Yeah, but there is so much paperwork to do. "Paperwork"，就是“文书工作”，也就是填表格、写文件、做档案等事情。Amir说，在申请入籍的时候，要做很多paperwok， professor, 在表达这个意思的时候，应该说do paperwork还是 fill out paperwork 呢？ Professor: You can use either verb, Winnie. They mean the same thing. 原来如此。对了，Susan 问 Amir "is everything going smoothly?"，就是问“一切进展顺利么？” 对不对？ Professor: Exactly. For example, you could say that "Class didn't go smoothly because I did not do my homework the night before." |
