英語(yǔ)應(yīng)用文寫作之推薦信
推薦信的寫作(The Writing of Letters of Recommendation)
在聯(lián)系到國(guó)外學(xué)習(xí)或就業(yè)的過程中,往往需要以往的同事、上司或老師寫一封推薦信。推薦信寫得好壞意義重大,因?yàn)樗P(guān)系到對(duì)被推薦人人品、能力及知識(shí)各個(gè)方面的評(píng)價(jià)。因此,在推薦信的寫作中,首先需要對(duì)該信的用途加以了解,以便確定被推薦人是否適合這一職位或是否適合進(jìn)入某一專業(yè)攻讀學(xué)位或從事研究工作。推薦信應(yīng)包括以下內(nèi)容:
① 被推薦人全名;
② 推薦人與被推薦人認(rèn)識(shí)時(shí)間的長(zhǎng)短及其關(guān)系,如:(I have been Mr.Bowman’s immediate supervisor for the past six years.);
③ 被推薦人的學(xué)識(shí)及其優(yōu)秀的品質(zhì)(最好有具體的事例加以證明);
④ 被推薦人所申請(qǐng)的學(xué)校或機(jī)構(gòu)對(duì)其感興趣的理由,總結(jié)對(duì)被推薦人的信心,并主動(dòng)提出如有必要的話,可以提供更多的有關(guān)被推薦人的資料。
在推薦信的寫作中,應(yīng)注意以下幾點(diǎn):
1)推薦信一定要寫得具體,可以用具體的事例說(shuō)明被推薦人的長(zhǎng)處。
2)即便被推薦人有許多優(yōu)點(diǎn),推薦信也應(yīng)當(dāng)集中在兩三個(gè)方面。
3)在推薦信中,不要使用諸如下面這樣的話:“I’d hire her in a minute if she were applying here” 或 “I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this scholarship.”。因?yàn)?,推薦人只需要提供證明資料,并不需要做出任何決定。
下面請(qǐng)閱讀龐加萊(Henri Poincare)1和居里夫人(Madame Curie)為愛因斯坦申請(qǐng)到蘇黎世聯(lián)邦工學(xué)院任教而寫的推薦信。
Herr Einstein is one of the most original minds that we have ever met.In spite of his youth he already occupies a very honorable position among the foremost savants of his time.What we marvel at him, above all, is the ease with which he adjusts himself to new conceptions and draws all possible deductions from them.He does not cling to classical principles, but sees all conceivable possibilities when he is confronted with a physical problem.In his mind this becomes transformed into an
anticipation of new phenomena that may someday be verified in actual experience? The future will give more and more proofs of the merits of Herr Einstein, and the University that succeeds in attaching him to itself may be certain that it will derive honor from its connection with the young master.”

Re: Steve Monk
Date: November 15 2005
Dear Sir:
I have known Steve Monk for four years.During his first two years at Isherwood Central High, he was a student in my Earth Science class and in my C.P.Biology class.During his junior year, I was Steve’s advisor for an independent study in biology, and this year he is carrying out an extracurricular research project for which I am providing some guidance.This young man is one of the brightest, most research-oriented students I have encountered in eighteen years of teaching.His SAT and achievement test scores only begin to tell the story.I understand he is sending you copies of several of his research projects;this will provide you with more evidence of his understanding of the principles of scientific inquiry, of his passion of exactitude, and of his bottomless curiosity.However, it is only in talking and working with Steve that the full extent of his talents is revealed.In writing you this letter, I hope to persuade you of one thing: to arrange a meeting between some of your science faculty and Steve.There is no doubt in my mind that you will be interested in this young man.I am much more concerned about his financial situation, and I believe that once you see what caliber of student and scientist Steve Monk is, you will find some way of dealing with his financial needs.I am very much interested in Steve’s situation and will be happy to provide any further information.Yours sincerely,(signature)

Dear Sir or Madam:
This is to recommend Mr.Huang Gang for admission to your university.I have known Mr.Huang since 1995 when I served as advisor to the students in the Electrical Engineering Department at Xiamen University.Later, it happened that in 2001 I served as Mr.Huang’s supervisor again in his graduate program at Shangdong University.Therefore I know Mr.Huang very well in terms of his personality and academic performance.Mr.Hang has always been a very diligent student with an integrity.He has a broad range of interest in both academic and extracurricular activities.His academic record has constantly been at the top level, which resulted from his devotion to study and intelligent nature.In dealing with his fellow students, Mr.Huang always shows willingness to help others and it well respected by them.Mr.Huang entered the gradate program of Shandong University through a
most outstanding performance in the entrance examination.The competitors were all equipped with good knowledge and practical experience in
electrical engineering, but he proved to outdo them in the exams.Last year, he was elected representative of his class and did a very good job.His overall performance was excellent.In recognition to this, I would like to point out some characteristics of his for your reference.Mr.Huang has strong academic background and work experience in the field of electrical engineering;
Mr.Huang is a man of integrity with good team spirit;
Mr.Huang has strong determination to pursue advanced study and has the potential to fulfill his academic objective.I highly recommend his admission and hope that you act favorably on his application.If there is anything more you need to know about him, please don’t hesitate to contact me.With the best regards.Sincerely yours,(signature)

Dear Admission Officer:
I am ×××, the Chinese applicant who desires to pursue my Ph.D.study in your honored program.I am very sorry to inform you that I presently cannot afford the application fee you demand because of the following reasons:
1.The high foreign currency exchange rate, US$1 = 8.9 RMB;
2.My relative low monthly income, about 200 RMB(equal to only $22);
3.The extremely strict limitation in China to obtain foreign currency, esp.U.S.Dollar in near future.According to current foreign currency regulation, only citizens who get visa can have at most $2,000 exchanged.I got excellent scores on TOEFL(63/62/67, total: 640, May, 1998)and GRE(V: 700, Q: 800, A: 800, total: 2,300, Nov.5th, 1998).My graduate GPA is 3.7.I sincerely hope you can consider my situation and review my application first.Thanks a lot.Your kindness is greatly appreciated.Yours truly,F(xiàn)ang Lin
