2、高分热文
Dear Tim,
I am quite sorry that I have to ask a favor of (寻求帮助)you, with the hope that you will be kind to help me.
I have been looking forward to applying for the entrance examination for MA candidates for a long time because I want to pursue further studies(进修). Unfortunately I find myself far from the required standard, especially my very poor English.
Finally, the personal friendship leads me to approach(联系) you with the request, whether you can give me some instructive guidance(启发性的指导). I promise to be a diligent student. If you agree, please call me as soon as you are free, I hope I can visit you twice a week.
Thank you very much for your kind help again.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
3、精彩译文
尊敬的蒂姆：
我是一名中国学生，希望到贵校这所著名大学学习。我计划下学期开始我的课程，如果您能好心提供一些基本信息，我将非常感谢。
首先，我到贵校上课需要什么条件?我已经从北京大学获得学士学位，但我想知道是否有进一步的学业上的要求。其次，学费是多少?尽管我打算自费，但我想了解一下国外学生可否获得奖学金。最后，住宿情况怎么样?
期待您的回复，希望成为贵校的一员。
您真诚的，
李明
