35 Study in America 35 留学美国 Nannan’s father runs an enterprise near the Ming Tombs selling batteries and drills to the Daqing Oilfield. 楠楠的父亲在明陵附近经营一家企业，销售电池和钻机到大庆油田。 Hoping to get the qualification to help govern it, Nannan made much preparation and then left her motherland with her visa to study in America. 因为希望获得相应资格从而帮助管理家族企业，楠楠做了大量准备，然后带着签证离开祖国 去美国留学。 Having reached her destination, she settled in an inn recommended by the travel agent. 抵达她的目的地后，她在一间旅行代理推荐的旅馆安顿下来。 As far as Nannan was concerned, she always kept it up in China. 就楠楠而言，她在国内一直保持着良好的状态。 But she had to acknowledge it was not easy to adjust herself to the new academic requirements, which were not parallel with China’s. 但是在国外，她却不得不承认，要适应全新的学业要求并不容易，它们和国内的要求不尽相 同。 Though she was occupied with lectures and seminars day in and day out, the essays she drafted were still contradicted by her tutors. 尽管她夜以继日地忙着听讲座、参加研讨会努力学习，她起草的论文还是被导师驳了回来。 As for her routine life, she felt that it was hard to fit in, too. 至于日常生活，她也感觉难于融入。 For example, she found English idioms difficult to understand. 例如，她发觉英语成语很难理解。 And it was out of the question to eat delicious Chinese foods though many optional cafeterias served abundant substitutes. 而且不可能吃到地道的中国食品，尽管可选的许多自助食堂都有提供丰富的替代品。 In addition, she had to wait in a queue early for the minibus that took her to school and it was usually so cold that she felt numb. 此外，她还得早早地去排队等小型巴士去学校，而且通常天冷到她都感到手脚麻木。 What bothered her most was that she received no apology when her sleeping was disturbed by a barking dog in a shopkeeper’s cage. 最使她烦恼的是，一名店主笼子里的狗的吠叫闹得她睡不好觉，但却没有任何人向她道歉。 Luckily, with her parents comforting her by videophone, she became autonomous soon and eventually got her bachelor’s degree successfully. 幸运的是，在她父母通过视频电话的安慰下，她很快就变得自主独立起来，并最终成功获得 了学士学位。 Vocabulary 词汇表 (1) enterprise / nt r pra z/ 企业，事业 (5) oilfield / l fild/ 油田 (2) tomb /tu m/ 坟墓，墓地 (6) qualification / kw l f ke n/ 资格，条 (3) battery / b t ri/ 电池，炮台 件，合格证书 (4) drill /dr l/ 钻孔，操练，演习 (7) govern / ɡ v rn/ 统治，管理 14 (8) preparation / pr p re n/ 准备，预备 (29) contradict / k ntr d kt/ 反驳，与……相 (9) motherland / m rl nd/ 祖国，母国 矛盾 (10) visa / vi z / 签证 (30) tutor / tju t r/ 导师，家庭教师 (11) destination / d st ne n/ 目的地，终点 (31) routine /ru ti n/ 常规，例行公事 (12) settle in / s tl n/ 安顿下来，定居 (32) fit in /f t n/ 融入，适应 (13) inn / n/ 小旅馆，客栈 (33) idiom / d m/ 成语，习语 (14) recommend / r k m nd/ 推荐，建议 (34) out of the question /a t v kw st n/ (15) travel agent / tr v l e d nt/ 旅行代理 不可能的 人 (35) optional / p nl/ 可选择的 ... ...
