作文翻译

Spectator sports provide an outlet for viewing the vitality of youth, speed, and strength. The levels of skill displayed fascinate people. Men identify more directly than most women with spectator sports because of their childhood experience and the macho nature of most games. For men there is an additional attraction in their minds that because they are male they could be called on to be there on field, asked to contribute their playing or coaching skills. Viewing sport thus provides the raw material for dreams. Nevertheless, women too feel vicarious satisfaction of a desire to win, and more women are becoming active in competitive sports.

By the early 1970s, growing fan interest in the games, heightened by network television, had transformed professional sports into lucrative business enterprises. As a result, entirely new leagues sprang up to compete with established organizations and lure away players with attractive salaries. As sports became more like traditional businesses, players increasingly turned to agents to represent them insalary negotiations. Now professional sports have entered a new era.

I have a few things in my mind which I have often longed to say for the instruction of the young; for it is in one’s tender early years that such things will best take root and be most enduring and most valuable.

Always obey your parents when they are present. This is best policy in the long run, because if you don’t they will make you. Most parents think they know better than you do, and you can generally benefit more by accepting that idea than you can by acting on your own judgment.

Be respectful to your superiors, also to friends, acquaintances and people around you. If a person offends you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him back later. That will be sufficient. If you shall find that he had not intended any offense, come out frankly and confessyourself in the wrong when you struck him; acknowledge it like a man and say you didn’t mean to. Always avoid violence. In this age of charity and kindliness, the time has gone by for violence.

Dear Mr. Huang,

I am interested in applying for a position as an electronic engineer at CenturyCom. I found the position advertised at the placement office at Fudan University. I will graduate in June in electronical engineering and hope to start my career at that time.

During the past four years I have had a good deal of academic experience in communication technology. As an active member of the Fudan Society of Computer Communication, I learned much about the practical challenges mechanical engineers face each day, and about the strategic significances of collaborating with fellow team members. In my position with Excelcom, I was able to test and sharpen the skills I was learning at school and use them on a regular basis. In addition to the responsibilities noted in my resume, I designed an innovative software program that compiled data used by other firms and interpreted the results for the sales division at Excelcom.

My experience of working with others has given me confidence in my interpersonal skills and decision-making abilities, particularly in the area of computer communication. And I believe that making a contribution to a general goal goes much further than simply possessing skills; one must have the ability to work toward a consensus everyone can live with.

I am available for an interview at any time convenient to you. I can be reached

by phone at 48202928. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely,

Pan Yanggang Enclosure: Resume

Dear Dr. Riply,

I am a researcher at School of Materials Engineering, Purdue University. I have devoted nearly five years to the study of how inexpensive housing can be made of native materials in the Third World countries; I was intrigued by the recent accomplishments

of

you

and

your

students

in

designing

and

providing“instant”housing to victims of the recent hurricane in Central America. Therefore, I wish to learn about construction techniques of developing new structures in your working group for six months, preferably during April through September.

During the past three years, I have been an assistant to Dr. Graham Benson who has shared the rostrum with you at many academic and global conferences on housing. Together we, along with a group of students, have spent the past two summers showing people in South Central Africa how to mix a specially prepared binder developed by our research lab with local materials to make durable homes in a matter of days. I would truly like to have the opportunity to do research work in your group so as to learn state-of-the-art technology in housing-building materials.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me more information about

application at your earliest convenience. Sincerely yours, Thomas Lamb

Dear Mr. Elizabeth Williams,

I am a student in the Department of Physics, expecting to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in July next year. I am very much interested in pursuing a master’s degree in Particle Physics at the Particle Physics Department of Oxford University.

From my review of graduate programs and discussion with my professors, I find that Oxford University has the largest particle physics group in the UK, with a large academic and support staff. I intend to enter in the autumn of 2008.

In my undergraduate years, I have worked hard. As you can see from my curriculum vitae, my GPA in major courses is 3.8/4.0 and I have remained top 5% of about 100 students.

I have also worked with Dr. Liu Wei and Professor Luo Lei on research topics like the applied physics at the enterprise level. Because of my excellence in study and research, I have been awarded scholarships three times. In addition, I am well-prepared linguistically to further my studies in the UK. My IELTS score is 7.5.

I would be grateful if you would send me the application forms for admission and financial support at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your consideration.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely yours, Lin Pengpeng
