    初见英伦

    初见英伦

     

    如果不是我们太顺,则是我们航班飞行员的性子太急,总之我们提前了半个多小时抵达了伦敦的上空,透过机窗,可以清晰的看到希思罗机场四周郁郁葱葱的绿色。然后我们却不能马上降临,于是飞行员带着我们在机场上空兜圈子,美名其曰“坐BA航班,看伦敦晚霞”。其代价是由于飞机振动厉害,导致大家都想吐。

    当飞机终于安全的抵达希思罗机场机场的T5航站楼时,导师感慨说,十年后重返英伦。导师在英国求学多年,一晃却已是十年,十年一觉英伦梦。

    初见英伦,她用了独特的方式欢迎着我。当我和导师一起排队经过护照检查大厅时,是一个慈祥的近五十的女边境官检查我们的护照,她的口语相当的地道,听着非常舒服。导师边回答她的问题,边跟她侃着十年前的英国,轻松过关。轮到我时,却不是那么顺利了,当她拿到我的护照时,照本宣科的问我有没有被拒签的记录。我很老实的回答,今年3月份申请签证时,惨遭不幸。人生往往福无双至,却祸不单行,年初当我急切地希望通过时空的变换来调整自我时,却等来了拒签的消息。其实人既然活在当下,就应该活好当下,过于沉湎于过去或过份寄希望于未来的改变,都是不现实的。

    签证官纠缠于我的拒签记录时,我的导师回到了边境官身边,他想回来帮帮我,指导我如何应付这种情况。可边境官不断示意我的导师走开,我也用英语告诉导师我能够处理,请他先走时,他一边用眼神鼓励我,一边不得不先离开。

    我倒没有足够的自信来应付这种意外情况,但对于意外的发生,却一点都不再觉得奇怪。再说了,大不了直接把我直接送回国好了,这正合我意,免却了我走之前的纠结。

    当然最终我还是顺利的过境,当我们走出机场时,导师的朋友郦博士已经等候我们多时了,一阵寒暄后,郦博士开车带我们直奔华威(Warwick,一路上,看着天上的蓝天白云和路边休闲的羊群,外加葱郁起伏的小山丘,让人不禁恍惚----十多个小时前,我还在地球的另一边----科技改变人类,我们却被改变着..
