按照這4個版塊總結壹下好用的句式:基本信息類、個人能力類、研究興趣類、收尾致謝類。
1.基本信息類
在介紹自己的基本信息之前,要打招呼,寒暄壹下,俗稱暖場,壹到兩句話即可:
(1)Good morning/afternoon everyone.
譯文:老師們上午/下午好!
這句話用以打招呼。(我們見過無數學生說good morning respected professors,但是這句話真的是壹句非常尷尬的中式英語。)
(2)I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity and it’s my pleasure to introduce myself.
譯文:感謝大家能給我這個機會,能向各位老師介紹自己是我的榮幸。
●這是壹句客套話,用以表達對此次面試感到很榮幸。
(3)I’m Li Ming,from Beijing and currently I’m pursuing my bachelor degree in law at Peking University.
譯文:我是李明,來自北京,目前在北大攻讀法學學士學位。
●這句用以介紹自己的姓名,籍貫,就讀或者畢業學校。如果是已經畢業的那麽是:
I’m Li Ming,from Beijing and I have completed my bachelor degree in law at Peking University.
譯文:我是李明,來自北京,畢業於北大法學專業。
(4)或者I’m Li Ming,from Beijing.I graduated from Peking University and my major is law.
譯文:我是李明,來自北京,畢業於北大,主修法學專業。
(My name is Li Ming這句話不太合適,因為在國外壹般只有年齡比較小的孩子才會這麽說。)
●自我介紹的開場壹定是介紹自己的基本信息的,只用介紹姓名,籍貫,學校就可以了,很多同學壹開場就把自己的家鄉介紹得天花亂墜的,試問,如果妳是壹個研究生導師,會因為壹個學生的家鄉很美就錄取他嗎?所以介紹基本信息時要言簡意賅,重頭戲在後面。
2.個人能力類
(5)Actually I’m working hard during these3 years and at the moment I am in the top15%with an average score over85.
譯文:過去三年裏我努力學習,現在以超過85分的均分排名前15%。
(6)Throughout my bachelor studies,I passed all the exams with the GPA above3.8and I am one of the top five students within my major.
譯文:本科期間,我以績點3.8以上的成績通過了所有的考試,是本專業排名前五的學生之壹。
●本科期間的成績是最基本信息,如果成績和排名較好,就可以詳細地說,如果成績不夠理想,則可以說壹個大概的區間,比如排名前40%。
(7)And I got the third-class Academic Scholarship in my university for three times.
譯文:我還三次獲得了校三等學業獎學金。
●介紹自己獲得過的獎學金,比較重要,是自己學習成績和學習態度的體現,常見的其他種類的獎學金:
the National Encouragement Scholarship國家勵誌獎學金
the National Scholarship國家獎學金
the comprehensive scholarship within my university學校的綜合獎學金
(8)Besides,I also participated in the College Students Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Program and accumulated experience in how to make palatable dishes.
譯文:我參加過大學生創新創業訓練計劃,並積累了關於做菜等相關經驗。
●介紹自己的學術經歷和競賽經歷,切記最好是要和考的方向相關。
(9)Meanwhile,in order to boost my strengths in environmental field,I led my group to participate in the chemistry contest of undergraduates held by Beijing,where we got the first prize.
譯文:同時,為增強我在環境領域的實力,我帶領小組參加了北京市舉辦的大學生化學競賽,斬獲壹等獎。
(10)Based on my knowledge reserve and the experience from the open projects within labs,I determine to choose“how to make palatable dishes”as the my graduation thesis.
譯文:基於我的知識儲備和實驗室開放項目的經驗,我確定了“如何做菜”作為我的畢業論文。
(11)In order to put my acquired knowledge into practice,I have worked as an intern at Beijing Changjiang Law Firm, where I accumulated a lot of experience in lawsuit.
譯文:為了將所學知識付諸實踐,我曾在北京長江律師事務所實習,在那裏我積攢了許多訴訟相關的經驗。
(12)Meanwhile,in order to boost my strengths in my major,I have worked as an intern at a local court and participated in some case trials.
譯文:同時,為了提升自己在專業上的優勢,我曾在當地法院實習,並參與過壹些案件的審理。
3.研究興趣類
首先要介紹自己總體的方向,然後具體陳述自己感興趣的方向。下面以三個專業為例:
(13)So both the academic training I got from the university and the relevant experience inspired me to become a lawyer,especially in the penal law direction.
譯文:從大學獲得的學術訓練和相關的工作經驗都激勵我努力成為壹名律師,尤其是刑訴律師。
(14)So under the traditional culture’s influence,the relevant experience inspired me to become an inheritor in ancient building protection.
譯文:在傳統文化的熏陶下,相關的經歷鼓舞著我成為壹名古建築保護的傳承者。
(15)Actually when I first learned that the Bird's Nest,the Olympic stadium,was designed by foreign architects,the ideal of becoming an outstanding architect sprouted in my heart.
譯文:當我第壹次知道鳥巢這個奧運場館,是由外國建築師設計的時候,成為壹名出色的建築師的理想就在我的心中萌芽。
●具體展開的時候每個專業不壹樣,比如壹位有誌於成為壹名金融分析師的同學的研究興趣:
So both the academic training I got from the university and the relevant work experience inspired me to try myself to be a financial analyst.I’m very interested in the master program paying special attention to quantitative and valuation issues due to my penchant for analysts.As I found out,master of finance in Peking University is famous for its in-depth teaching of quantitative aspects of finance.
因此,從大學獲得的學術訓練和相關的工作經驗都激勵我努力成為壹名金融分析師。由於我對分析師的偏愛,我對關註數量和估值分析方向的碩士計劃尤其感興趣。我發現,北京大學金融碩士項目以其對金融定量方面的深入教學而著稱。
4.收尾致謝類
這部分言簡意賅,快速收尾即可。
(16)Therefore,I desperately wish to be accepted.
譯文:因此,我非常希望能夠被錄取。
(17)Considering my ambition and background in ancient buildings,I am confident that I can match your credentials and maintain high standards at your university.Thank you.
