Canadian Citizenship Application

An immigrant from China is applying for citizenship in Canada . He is to be interviewed by a Canadian immigration officer. He does not speak English well and knows nothing about Canada . Therefore, he invited a special translator to help him in his interview.

一個來自中國的移民,要申請加拿大公民; 他不會說英語,,更不了解加拿大. 為了移民官的面試,他請了專業翻譯來幫忙.


Officer: Do you know who was the first Prime Minister of Canada?
官員提問;『請問加拿大的首任總理是誰?』

Translator: ( in Cantonese) The officer asked you, Where do you usually go if you want to eat hamburger?

翻譯用廣東話說;「移民官問你;『如果你想吃漢堡,通常你會去哪裡??』
Man: (answered to the officer) Oh..... McDonald (the first Prime Minister of Canada is Sir John MacDonald.)
申請人對著移民官回答說; 『噢 ! 麥當勞!! 』(加拿大的首任總理,叫做Sir John MacDonald.)

The officer nodded his head and then asked the second question.

移民官點頭,然後問下一個問題;

Officer: Could you tell me which province you're living in now?

移民官問;「你可以告訴我,你現在住哪一省嗎??」

Translator: (in Cantonese) The officer just asked you, What is the dirtiest thing in your nose?

翻譯用廣東話說;「移民官問你;『甚麼,是你鼻子裡最髒的東西?』」

Man: (replied to the officer in Cantonese) Ah..... Bay See (which means nose dirt in Chinese) (The man lives in the province of British Columbia , commonly known as B.C.) (當地廣東裔老華僑 稱 B.C.省 為 卑詩省)

申請人用廣東話回答移民官說; 『 啊鼻屎!! ! 』(即中文鼻子裡的髒東西) (他住在the province of British Columbia , 簡稱為B.C.廣東話鼻屎同音)

The officer nodded his head again and asked the final question.

移民官又點頭,而後問最後問題.

Officer: Do you know what your privilege is when you become Canadian?

移民官問; 「你成為加拿大公民後,享有甚麼權利??」

Translator: (in Cantonese) The officer asked you, How does a dog sounds like when it barks?

翻譯用廣東話說;「移民官問你;『狗吠的時候,叫聲是怎樣??』」

Man: (demonstrated the sound to the officer)... Woe, Woe. (Vote, Vote. One of the privileges of a Canadian is the right to vote.)

申請人當著移民官的面,做出狗吠的聲音;『Woe, Woe!!』(Vote, Vote.) 成為加拿大公民的特權之一,就是投票(Vote.)

The officer told the man that all the questions were answered correctly, shook hands with him and congratulated him that he had passed the interview to be a Canadian citizen.

移民官告訴申請人說;所有的問題都答對,跟他握手, 並且向他恭喜,已經通過成為加拿大公民的面試了!!
