4.有些推荐信的内容太荒唐了,让人不敢相信。
As his advisor, I was immediately impressed by his enthusiasm and diligence towards his studies. Several times I would telephone him before seven in the morning, only to find his dormitory mates sleepily answering that he had left for his studies.
5.语言太夸张,完全失去了说服力。有的推荐信把被推荐人写的比推荐人水平还高。读完这样的推荐信,外国教授不禁要想,既然这位同学的水平如此之高,他就不需要再进修了。而且一般推荐人都为被推荐人的老师及上司,这样写也让外国教授怀疑推荐人的水平。
In my numerous years of teaching experience rarely have I seen as talented or dedicated a student as Mr. Liu. I consider him my own source of inspiration.
6.为了表明被推荐人做事细致认真,推荐人总是喜欢在推荐信中提到:他总是第一个到实验室,最后一个离开。这样的事例几乎是每位申请者要写到的内容。试想一下,如果你是录取委员会的成员,你天天都读到同样的内容,你会是什么样的感觉。
The first to arrive and the last to leave, she took pride in making sure that everything was in order and well maintained.
7.为了表明被推荐人学习态度端正,推荐人喜欢在推荐信中举例说明:他总是坐在教室的第一排听讲。这也不见得就是一种美德。坐在后面的同学都是不努力的吗?
He would often sit within the first few rows, frequently raising questions and clarifying concepts that were unclear to him/I first became acquainted with Mr.Wang at my lecture, where he sat in the first row and impressed me with his full concentration and enthusiastic participation in class discussions
8. 为了说明被推荐人勤奋好学,推荐人经常在推荐信中写到这样的事实:被推荐人总是要求推荐人推荐一些相关的书籍,或是被推荐人向推荐人借书看。这样的事例太雷同了,缺乏独特性。
To broaden his intellectual horizons, he has often asked me to introduce books and journals for him to read. Actually, he had borrowed so many books from my personal collection that he left quite a large part of my bookcase empty.
