roddy Posted April 21, 2006 at 09:57 AM Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 at 09:57 AM I don't think it's a common term, it's a nickname the people applying for visas give to one of the two visa officers at the embassy at the start of the book. I guess you could say it's derogatory, but only as far as any nickname with 'monkey' in it is hardly going to be respectful. “不是真猴。这是他们给领事们起的绰号。金丝猴是指的一头金发的女领事，据说，这位女士挺和气；胡子是说的另一个男领事，听说那男的不好说话， 好象不会干别的，就会拒签。” From here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
