    申請獎學(xué)金 Applying For A Scholarship
    SHARON: How can I help you today, Alice?
    ALICE: Well, I came to talk to you because I want to apply for a scholarship.
    SHARON: Oh, good. You're an excellent student.
    I'd be very willing to help you with that.
    ALICE: Thanks. I really appreciate it.
    In fact, I do need a letter of recommendation for this scholarship.
    SHARON: What kind of scholarship is it?
    ALICE: It's an undergraduate scholarship
    offered by the American Minority Students Scholarship Association.
    I'm eligible for it because I'm Asian American.
    SHARON: Fine. I know about that scholarship.
    You have to be a student in your junior year,
    and you have to have a grade point average of 3.7 or higher.
    ALICE: I'm a junior now, and my GPA is 3.92.
    SHARON: Excellent. So you'll have a good chance of getting it.
    ALICE: Well, I hope so. The competition is probably pretty heavy.
    And they want a writing sample too.
    SHARON: Do you have an essay you want to send them?
    ALICE: No, they want a special essay.
    I must write an essay on a particular question they pose.
    SHARON: What is the question?
    ALICE: They give applicants a topic.
    The topic is, "The Place of Ethnic Minorities in a Democratic Society."
    My essay must be three pages typed and double-spaced.
    SHARON: That's a pretty short essay.
    ALICE: Yes, but I need to write it by next week.
    SHARON: Good luck. I'm sure you will do a good job.
    ALICE: I came here today to talk to you because... Well, I need to ask two favors.
    SHARON: Sure. What are they?
    ALICE: First, I need a letter of recommendation.
    SHARON: I'd be happy to write one for you.
    ALICE: And second.... Well, I'm not sure if it's normal.
    SHARON: What is it? Do you want me to read your essay?
    ALICE: Yes, if you could.
    I mean, if you could read it to make sure there are no mistakes.
    Or maybe you'd have some suggestions.
    SHARON: Of course I could read it. That's no problem. But you need to get it to me soon.
    ALICE: I will. I want to write the first draft tonight.
    So I could bring it tomorrow morning.
    SHARON: Alright. If you can bring it to me tomorrow morning,
    I can talk with you after class on Friday.
    So I'll have some feedback for you before the weekend.
    ALICE: That would really help me a lot. I'm very grateful.
    SHARON: Don't mention it. I'm always willing to help good students.
    夏倫:我今天能幫你些什么,艾麗斯?
    艾麗斯:嗯,我來是因為我想申請獎學(xué)金。
    夏倫:喔,好的。你是一個很好的學(xué)生。
    我非常愿意幫你。
    艾麗斯:謝謝你。我真的很感激。
    事實上,我是需要一封申請獎學(xué)金的推薦信。
    夏倫:是什么樣的獎學(xué)金?
    艾麗斯:是一個大學(xué)生獎學(xué)金
    由美國少數(shù)民族學(xué)生獎學(xué)金協(xié)會所提供。
    我之所以符合申請是因為我是亞裔美人。
    夏倫:好。我知道有關(guān)獎學(xué)金的事。
    你必須是三年級學(xué)生,
    而且你的平均成績要在 3.7 或是更高。
    艾麗斯:我現(xiàn)在是三年級,而且我的平均成績是 3.92。
    夏倫:太好了。所以你有很好的機(jī)會拿到它。
    艾麗斯:我也希望,可是競爭也很大。
    他們希望要有寫作的樣品。
    夏倫:你有作品可以寄給他們嗎?
    艾麗斯:沒有,他們要比較特別的學(xué)術(shù)性文章。
    我必須寫一篇他們所提出的探討某一特定問題的文章。
    夏倫:問題是什么?
    艾麗斯:他們給申請人一個題目。
    題目是"少數(shù)民族在民主社會的地位。"
    我的文章必須要有三頁紙長,用打字機(jī)打好以及使用兩倍行距。
    夏倫:那是一篇很短的文章。
    艾麗斯:是的,但我需要在下星期
    以前寫好。
    夏倫:祝你好運。我很確定你會做得很好。
    艾麗斯:我今天來跟你談是因為……嗯,我想要請你幫兩個忙。
    夏倫:好啊。是些什么?
    艾麗斯:首先,我需要一封推薦信。
    夏倫:我很樂意幫你寫。
    艾麗斯:第二……嗯,我不確定這是否可以。
    夏倫:是什么?你要我看你的文章嗎?
    艾麗斯:是的,如果你可以的話。
    我的意思是,如果你能幫我看并確認(rèn)沒有問題。
    或是你可以給一些建議。
    夏倫:當(dāng)然我可以看。那沒有問題,但是你需要快一點給我。
    艾麗斯:我會的。我晚上會寫初稿。
    這樣我明天一早就可以給妳了。
    夏倫:好的。如果你明天一早就可以給我
    我可以在星期五下課后告訴你。
    那么我可以在周末前給你一些反饋。
    艾麗斯:這真的給我很大的幫助,我真的很感謝你。
    夏倫:別客氣。我很樂意幫助好學(xué)生。
