第16课 课文1难点

这篇课文难点不多,就说明两点:

  • 取得了联系:established contact, got in touch. “取得”就是取、得到的意思。
  • 办签证:apply for visa. “办”的意思是“做”(比如“办公室”就是做工作的地方)。“办”签证,就是把材料交给大使馆,申请签证。

再听一遍课文,跟着录音读一读。

Yu: You should still have the invitation letters from the university overseas, right? Did they fax it to you?

Xia: No. I will go to the consulate to apply for a visa next week! What am I supposed to do now?

Yu: This is a big problem! I'm not sure either. I'll help you look for the telephone number of the school, you can call and ask.
