张君从英国留学归来,我们几个好友为他设宴洗尘。席间,一个朋友不雅的口头禅使他很不快,几次露出厌恶的表情。席散,送张君回家的路上,我替那位朋友解释说,那口头禅不过是无所指的语言习惯,听惯了也就不觉得什么了。张君沉默了一会儿说:“我给你讲一下我刚到英国时的经历吧!”和在布里斯托尔的大多数中国留学生一样,我也借住在当地一户居民家中。房东姓坎贝尔,是一对老年夫妇。坎贝尔夫妇待人热情大方,他们只是象征性地收我几英镑房租,硬把我从邻居家“抢”了过来。有一位外国留学生住在家里,对他们来说是一件很自豪的事情,他们不仅很快让整个社区的人都知道了这件事,还打电活告诉了远在曼彻斯特和伦敦的儿女。每天我回到“家”里,可口的饭菜都在等着我,每隔四五天, Zhang Jun returned from studying in the UK. A few of our friends hosted a banquet for him. At the same time, an indecent mantra of a friend made him unhappy, and his expression of disgust was shown on several occasions. On the way to Zhang Jun’s return to the home, I explained to the friend that the mantra is nothing more than a linguistic habit of pointing. When I used to hear it, I didn’t feel anything. Zhang Jun said in silence for a moment: “I will tell you about my experience when I first arrived in the UK!” Like most Chinese students in Bristol, I also lived in a local family home. The landlord surnamed Campbell is an elderly couple. The Campbells and the couple were very warm and generous. They just symbolically charged me a few pounds of rent and hard-hit me from their neighbors. Having a foreign student living at home is a very proud thing for them. Not only did they quickly let people in the entire community know about it, but they also told electric children in Manchester and London. Every day I go back to the “home,” delicious meals are waiting for me every four or five days.
