关于英国留学推荐信结尾的8个反面例子(2)

　　Very often I find her reading concentratedly in the library with books or English periodicals in his hands.

　　3.很多同学找到自认为很有价值的推荐人写推荐信，但是他们以前并不相识或者熟悉，为了在信中制造一个他们相识的合理情况,他们都用同样的事例：被推荐人参加了推荐人的一次讲座，讲座结束或中间休息或上课时，被推荐人向推荐人提出了一些很有挑战性的问题，于是推荐人就对被推荐人留下了深刻的印象。同上面的例子一样，这样的事例缺乏真实性。教授们在讲座结束后往往只有几分钟的时间回答很多同学的提问，他不可能对某位同学留下特别的印象。即使是真实的，也因为太多的人这么写，失去了可信度。

　　I first noticed Mr. Xie in 1999, when I gave a lecture to students majoring in microelectronics. At the end of the presentation Mr. Xie approached me and asked several perceptive and challenging questions, which demonstrated his vast background knowledge and swift grasp of the ideas I had expounded

　　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。
