个人陈述

申请课程：翻译与双语交流硕士课程

申请人：某某某（写本人的名字）

双语交流及教学一直是我的追求。真诚希望成为贵校“翻译与双语交流硕士课程”的学员。

汉语粤语是我的母语及方言。我英语水平也很好，听说读写译俱佳，能自信流利地进行交流。

我对翻译兴趣极浓，长期坚持练笔，曾在外贸公司兼职翻译。通过学习本科生的《翻译理论与实践》课，我掌握了有关翻译的基本理论和技巧，还有幸成为第三届湛江国际海洋龙舟邀请赛和第一届湛江海洋经济博览会的翻译志愿者。

我申请到贵校求学，是因为我相信在此能学到有关翻译及其它学科的先进理论，相信这里有更好的研究条件和学术氛围。

完成学业后，希望凭借掌握的理论知识和有关分析、批判、表达等双语交流技巧，自己能成为一名合格的口译译员或职业翻译教师，为促进国际交流做贡献。

我深信，有语言技能方面的深厚基础，加上勤劳和热情，我一定能顺利完成学业。 求学申请如蒙贵校批准，我将不甚感激。（359）

[翻译提示]

近年来有一种趋势，即有越来越多的中学或大学毕业生走出国门，到外国去求学或深造。此时，国外学校一般要求申请求学的学生提供一份personal statement,内容通常包括求学的原因和目的，完成学业的个人条件和家庭条件等。这次的练习便是这样一份所谓的“个人陈述”。当然这种“个人陈述”的内容，会因不同的申请人，以及所申请的专业或课程的不同而有所不同。本练习中申请人申请的方向是翻译与双语交流，因此，相对而言，内容比较熟悉，用英语表达也会相对简单一些。
