Amir: No, my wife and I don't have any children.
Professor: So Winnie, does Amir have to prepare a lot for his citizenship test?
申请入美国籍需要参加citizenship test - 公民考试,所以要了解美国的civics - 公民知识,还有constitution - 宪法。不过,Amir说他已经在美国生活三年了,这些知识他都懂,所以不需要做太多准备。
Professor: That's right. John also asked Amir if he had any "dependents". A dependent is anyone who depends on you to take care of him.
对,dependent就是需要供养的亲人,比如小孩,年迈的父母等等。Amir和妻子没有孩子,所以没有dependent.
Amir: So John, do you think there will be any problems with my application?
John: It definitely sounds like you are eligible to become a US citizen. I think that before too long, you won't have to be an alien anymore!
Amir: Yeah, I can't wait! Hopefully I will become a citizen in time to vote in the next election.
John: I sure hope so! Good luck!
Professor Bowman, alien不是指外星人么?我不懂为什么美国人把来美移民也称为"alien",我又不是从火星来的!
Professor: Really? Sometimes I doubt that.
哈,被你发现了! 言归正传,Amir希望自己能尽快入籍,这样,他就能享受公民独有的投票权了!
