申請(qǐng)耶魯讀大學(xué)該準(zhǔn)備些什么材料

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論申請(qǐng)材料，
 
申請(qǐng)耶魯讀大學(xué)該準(zhǔn)備些什么材料
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: Hi, John! Long time no see. I heard you are studying at Yale, how is everything there?
 
約翰，你好！好久不見(jiàn)了啊！我聽(tīng)說(shuō)你現(xiàn)在正在耶魯讀書(shū)，感覺(jué)怎么樣??？
 
B: Hello, Catherine. Everything is fine. Thank you. By the way, I met Tom yesterday and he said you are planning to apply to Yale. Anything I can help?
 
你好，凱瑟琳。我一切都挺好的，多謝掛念。我昨天碰到湯姆了，他說(shuō)你正想申請(qǐng)來(lái)耶魯讀大學(xué)，有什么我能幫忙的嗎？
 
A: Yeah, I’m interested in economics and would like to further my study at Yale. You know I’m really fascinated by its education system: for one tning is the emphasis on undergraduate teaching, with so many distinguished knowledgeable professors giving lectures to undergraduate students; then is the vitality of student life. Both academic and extracurricular and the research opportunities are available at Yale University. However, I am a bit confused by the complicated application procedures.
 
是啊，我正打算申請(qǐng)去耶魯留學(xué)呢！我對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)很感興趣，也非常想去耶魯上學(xué)。你知道的，我對(duì)耶魯早就有所耳聞。我很欣賞耶魯?shù)慕逃w系:首先，她非常強(qiáng)調(diào)本科教學(xué)，有那么多學(xué)識(shí)淵博的知名敘授為本科生授課；其次，那兒的學(xué)習(xí)以及課外生活相當(dāng)豐富多彩，她還為學(xué)生提供許多的科研機(jī)會(huì)。但是我有點(diǎn)搞不清那復(fù)雜的申請(qǐng)程序。
 
B: You really shock me. You have already known so much about Yale. It doesn’t matter that you do not know the detailed application procedures. I will explain to you one by one. To be accepted to study at Yale, first of all, interested applicants must apply directly to the school, college, or program where the degree will be awarded.
 
我真被你嚇到了，你竟然已經(jīng)了解了這么多有關(guān)耶魯?shù)南ⅰＨ绻悴磺宄唧w的申請(qǐng)程序，不要緊啊，我可以一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)地解釋給你聽(tīng)。要想來(lái)耶魯讀書(shū)，首先，對(duì)耶魯感興趣的申請(qǐng)者必須直接向?qū)W位授予單位——研究生學(xué)院、本科生學(xué)院或 是項(xiàng)目作出申請(qǐng)。
 
A: OK. I see. Then what should I prepare for the application?
 
好的，我知道了。那我該準(zhǔn)備些什么材料呢？
 
B: The following material is needed for your application. First of all，you should have a secondary school report which consists of a transcript and school counselor recommendation. The transcript is a record of grades achieved over the past three years of schooling. Predicted grades (if applicable) should be included. If you do not have a counselor, the form and recommendation can be filled in by a tutor/house master/ principal/academic advisor or another comparable school official.
 
你需要準(zhǔn)備好下面這些材料。首先，要準(zhǔn)備一份所畢業(yè)高中開(kāi)具的公證，里面要包含一份成績(jī)報(bào)告單以及一份輔導(dǎo)員介紹信。成績(jī)報(bào)告單上應(yīng)該包含你高中三年的各科成績(jī)，如果可能的話，還應(yīng)該包含你的預(yù)測(cè)成績(jī)。要是沒(méi)有輔導(dǎo)員，介紹 信也可以由你的家庭教師、舍監(jiān)、校長(zhǎng)、學(xué)術(shù)顧問(wèn)或是其他與此相當(dāng)?shù)膶W(xué)校領(lǐng)導(dǎo)中的一位來(lái)代寫(xiě)。
 
A: OK. I'm very lucky that my high school performance was good. My GPA was about 95 and I ranked the second among about 2300 students. So I think I’m the right candidate.
 
好的。我覺(jué)得自己非常幸運(yùn)，高中時(shí)的總體表現(xiàn)還不錯(cuò)。我的學(xué)科平均成績(jī)?cè)?5分左右，在2300多名學(xué)生中排名第二。我覺(jué)得自己會(huì)是合適的人選的。
 
B: You are really good enough on this respect. Next come the teacher recommendations. Two teacher recommendations are required. Both should be written by recent teachers in academic subjects. You must provide the school with an official English translation of any letters or transcripts not written in English, in addition to the original 6 documents.
 
我覺(jué)得你已經(jīng)相當(dāng)合格了。申請(qǐng)所需的第二項(xiàng)材料是教師推薦信。一共需要兩位老師的推薦信,而且他們必須是最近給你帶過(guò)課的老師。此外,除了遞交原件以外， 所有的申請(qǐng)材料都要求提供一份正式的英文翻譯件。
 
A: No problem. I will ask my headteacher who knows me quite well and my math teacher to write the recommendations. Is this OK?
 
沒(méi)問(wèn)題。我會(huì)請(qǐng)非常了解我的班主任老師和數(shù)學(xué)老師為我寫(xiě)推薦信，這樣可以嗎？
 
B: Yes. And the last requirement for Chinese students is your grades for SAT Reasoning Test (SAT I) and any combination of two Subject Tests plus tests of your English ability: TOEFL⑦ or IELTS grades. You needn’t worry about the SAT; it is a piece of cake for us Chinese applicants. However, you should pay more attention to the test of the English language. We students at Yale must be able to understand rapid, idiomatic English and to express ourselves easily in both spoken and written English. As part of the assessment of a candidate’s competence in English, Yale strongly recommends TOEFL for any applicant whose first language is not English and who has not received at least two years of his or her secondary education in an English-medium curriculum. For TOEFL, a minimum score of 100 is required on the Web-based TOEFL. For IELTS a minimum score of 7 is required.
 
可以。我們中國(guó)學(xué)生申請(qǐng)耶魯?shù)淖詈笠豁?xiàng)要求是SAT I、其他兩門(mén)自選科目的成績(jī)以及有關(guān)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言水平測(cè)試的成績(jī)托福或稚思都可以。身為一名中國(guó)學(xué)生，你不必?fù)?dān)心SAT成績(jī)，它對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)是小菜一碟。但是你一定要在語(yǔ)言考試上多花點(diǎn)心思，因?yàn)橐攲W(xué)生必須具備理解快速的、地道的英語(yǔ)的能力，并且不管是在口語(yǔ)還是書(shū)面語(yǔ)中都要能夠流利地表達(dá)自己的思想。作為衡量申請(qǐng)者英語(yǔ)能力的手段，耶魯強(qiáng)烈推薦那些母語(yǔ)不是英語(yǔ)的以及中學(xué)階段學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)不到兩年的申請(qǐng)者參加托?？荚?。耶魯對(duì)托福成績(jī)的要求是機(jī)考最低100分，對(duì)雅思成績(jī)的最低 要求是7分。
 
A: English is my all-time favorite. I’m now busy preparing for TOEFL and there is only two weeks left for the test. I hope I would have a good result and realize my dream at Yale. Thank you very much for you time and patience.
 
英語(yǔ)一直是我的最愛(ài)。我現(xiàn)在正忙著準(zhǔn)備托福呢，因?yàn)檫€有不到兩周就要考試了。我希望能取得個(gè)好成績(jī)來(lái)圓我的耶魯夢(mèng)。最后非常感謝你抽出寶貴時(shí)間來(lái)耐心為我講解。
 
B: My pleasure. Hope we will meet at Yale. Good Luck!
 
不客氣。希望能在耶魯與你相會(huì)。祝你好運(yùn)！
 
A: Thank you. See you at Yale. Bye.
 
謝謝。那就耶魯見(jiàn)！再見(jiàn)。
 
B: Bye-bye!
 
再見(jiàn)。
