UNIT 6

 

Welcome to America!

While we were approaching New York I saw a flight attendant with some papers. She was walking down the aisle and giving the papers to the passengers. She was also asking them something. As she came closer I could hear her question: «Are you a U. S. citizen? » She didn't give anything to those who said yes. She didn't ask me about my nationality. She just asked me to fill out the form. What was the matter? Didn't I look like an American?

I looked at the paper. It was an I—94 form. It took me five minutes to fill it out. The man who was sitting next to me couldn't write English, so I helped him with his form. Would you like to have a look at an I—94 form? I'll show you one later.

As I was filling out my neighbor's form the plane landed at JFK International Airport. I went to the Immigration counter. The inspector checked my visa, wrote something on my I—94 and stapled it to my passport. «Welcome to America, Mr. Kuznetsov», he said. «Thank you. Call me Smith», I told him. «Why Smith? » «Because that's what my family name means in English», I answered and went to get my baggage from the baggage claim area.

Anything to declare?

Then I went to Customs. I had to fill out another form. I'll show you what it looks like later. The customs officer asked me: «Anything to declare? » «Excuse me? » «Do you have anything to declare? Do you understand English? » «Yes, I do. But I don't understand American English very well yet».

He didn't ask me to open my bags. He just asked me a few questions. Did I have anything to declare? I said no. Any foodstuffs? I had some cans. He said canned food was okay. Did I have any fresh or frozen food? No, I didn't. Any gifts? No, just a few souvenirs. Did I have five thousand dollars or more in any currency? Certainly not! I had absolutely nothing to declare and the officer finally let me go.

Dialogues

Victor is on the plane. He's flying to New York.

— Pardon me. Who's sitting next to you?

— A man was sitting here.

— Where's he now? We are landing soon.

— I guess he went away while I was reading. I was trying to get some rest when you came up.

— I think every passenger is trying to relax on the plane.

— But not my neighbor. Oh, here he is.

—Sit down, sir. We are landing soon. Before landing each passen­ger has to fill out an I—94.

— How do you do it?

— It's easy. Please don't write with a pencil.

— Pardon?

— You mustn't use a pencil. And you must print.

— Print? What do you mean?

— You must use printed letters.

— I've never done it before, but I'll do my best. Who do I give the form to?

— After landing you go to Immigration Service. They check your passport and your I—94.

— And what about my luggage?

— You get your luggage and go to the Customs desk. You go there after Immigration.

— Thanks for the information.

 

— Can you make any suggestions concerning the plans?	— Yes, I think so.

***

— I want the report to be ready by Monday. — You should work on it over the weekend.

— I couldn't possibly do it by Monday. — That’s impossible. I'm going to the country with my family

***

— Are you going to be gone long?	— Possibly.
— Will you write to me?	— Perhaps.
— Will you call me?	— No, I won't be able to. There's no telephone there.
— Maybe you will come here for my birthday?	— I might.
— Are you going to invite David to the party?	— Maybe.
— And his wife?	— No, my wife doesn't get along with her. (He ладит с ней).
— She may get to like her.

***

— Will you be able to visit New York? — Will they come to meet you at the airport? — The weather is going to be much warmer in Washington. — They are going to discuss their future plans with you, aren't they? — Is Mr. Carter going to bring his wife with him? — Are they going to send the documents to us? — Does Mr. Carter's wife speak English? — Is your boss going to visit the States this year? — Did she take you for an American? — He is probably too busy to come to the airport? — He will probably send somebody to meet you, if he is busy. — It is not very likely that Richard has forgotten about my arrival. — Yes, I think so. There is somebody waving to you. It is probably some friend. — Yes, I think so. It's likely that he has come to meet you. — Where is Mr. Kuznetsov?   — Has he agreed to visit the factory on Monday? — Is it likely that he will sign an agreement there?

— Probably. — Very likely.   — I think so.   — I expect so.   — Probably not.   — That's not likely.   — I don't think so.   — I don't expect so.   — I doubt it. — I don't think so.   — Yes, it's very likely.   — I doubt it. He may simply be late.   — Yes, it must be Frank.     — I doubt it. He is probably meeting some American friend, not me. — He is probably at the post-office. He may be sending a telegram to his wife. — I expect so.   — I doubt it. He will probably have to consult his boss.

Перевод

Nationality — не только национальность, но и гражданство.

What ' s the matter? означает в чем дело?

JFK — сокращение от полного имени John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Smith по-английски значит кузнец.

To have a look — взглянуть.

Customs ( office ) — таможня. В этом значении употребляется только в форме мн. числа. В ед. числе слово custom значит чаще всего обычай.

What it looks like — как он выглядит (на что похож).

Officer может значит офицер, но также и чиновник.

He let me go — он отпустил меня (букв, позволил мне уйти). Обра­тите внимание, что глагол to let особый - после него неопределенная форма глагола употребляется без частицы to. Глагол этот непра­вильный, все три формы у него одинаковы.
