套磁在申請(qǐng)美國(guó)研究生的過程中，是一個(gè)相當(dāng)重要的環(huán)節(jié)，特別在申請(qǐng)博士時(shí)，甚至可以說是能夠決定你最終是否能夠被錄取的決定性環(huán)節(jié)。那么，除了在內(nèi)容上多加注意以外，我們還有什么需要注意的呢？

無論你是何種文化背景，在現(xiàn)今這個(gè)生活節(jié)奏越來越快的社會(huì)，某些細(xì)節(jié)也許就能體現(xiàn)你的與眾不同。正所謂“細(xì)節(jié)決定成敗”，與教授的交流中，有些小細(xì)節(jié)可能就會(huì)改變他對(duì)你的看法。一起來看看吧。

E-mail is forever. once you sen it off,you can't get it back. once your professor has it,he or she owns it an can save it or,in the worst case,forwar it onto colleagues for a goo laugh—at your expense.

郵件是永久性的。一旦你把它發(fā)出去了，就不可能再收回來了。只要教授收到了郵件，他就主宰了這封郵件的命運(yùn)，或者保存，或者是把郵件轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)給同事博取一笑（這是最糟的情況）——后果自負(fù)哦。

E-mail goes where it's tol. Check—an ouble check—to see that the right aress appears in the "To" line. Just because your mom an your professor are both name "Lynn" is no reason to sen all your love to Professor Lynn.

郵件要發(fā)到正確的郵箱里。檢查，再檢查，看“發(fā)送到”那一欄的地址是不是正確。僅僅因?yàn)槟愕膵寢尯湍愕慕淌诘拿侄际?Lynn"，也沒有理由把你所有的愛都寄送到了Lynn教授那里吧。

Professors might not be using the cruy university e-mail system. So sen it to the aress they actually use,not the one on the university irectory. (Check the syllabus or assignment sheet for clues.)

教授可能不使用大學(xué)的亂七八糟的郵箱系統(tǒng)。所以把郵件發(fā)送到他們真正在用的郵箱地址，而不是大學(xué)通訊錄上的郵箱地址。（檢查一下他們的個(gè)人摘要或者任務(wù)分配表來尋找一些線索。）

4

Professors might not open mail sent from luckyogpig@thepoun.com. They prefer to open mail sent from more reputable aresses,like you@theCruyUniversityE-mailSystem.eu.

教授可能不會(huì)打開一封發(fā)自luckyogpig@thepoun.com的郵件。他們更喜歡打開那些來自比較有名的郵箱地址，就像you@theCruyUniversityE-mailSystem.eu。

Subject lines are for subjects. Put a brief explanation of the nature of the e-mail (like "question about paper") in the subject line. Never inclue emans such as "urgent request—immeiate response neee." That's the surest way to get your request trashe.

主題欄要緊扣主題。在主題欄要對(duì)這封郵件有一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)要的解釋。千萬不要包含一些要求，比如說“緊急請(qǐng)求或請(qǐng)立即回復(fù)”，可以很肯定的說，你的請(qǐng)求會(huì)像垃圾一樣處理掉。

Salutations matter. The safest way to start is with "Dear Professor So an So" (using their last name). That way you won't be getting into the issue of whether the prof has a Ph.D. or not,an you won't seem sexist when you aress your female-professor as "Ms." or,worse yet,"Mrs. This an That."

稱呼很重要。最安全的開頭方式是用“親愛的×××教授”。這樣的話你就不會(huì)再考慮這個(gè)教授是不是個(gè)博士或其他，并且當(dāng)你稱呼你的女教授“Ms”或者“Mrs.”也不會(huì)顯得像是個(gè)性別歧視者。

7

Clear an concise is best. Your prof might get 25 or 30 E-mails a ay,so,it's best if you ask your questions in as focuse an succinct a way as possible. (Hint: it's often goo to number your questions). An,if your question is very elaborate or multifacete,it's best to go to an in-person office hour. You'll get better service that way.

清楚簡(jiǎn)潔是最好的。你的教授每天會(huì)收到25-30封郵件，所以如果你的問題很簡(jiǎn)潔明了那是最好的（一般把問題一條條列出來比較好）。如果你的問題表述的很詳盡或者多層面的，最好在教授的辦公時(shí)間面談，這樣教授就能夠更有效地幫你解決問題。

8

Always acknowlege. If your professor eigns to answer—or sen you the hanout or reference that you aske for—be sure to tell him or her that you got it. That way he or she will think kinly of you next time they see you in class.

必須要告知教授已收到郵件。如果你的教授給你回答或者發(fā)送了你需要的資料，一定要告訴他你已經(jīng)收到了。這樣，下次在課堂上看到你的時(shí)候，他們就會(huì)覺得你是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的學(xué)生。

THIS IS NOT A SHOUTING MATCH. Don't write in all uppercase letters,which is an E-mail convention for anger or other strong emotions. No one likes yelling.

這不是大聲嚷嚷的爭(zhēng)吵。郵件不要都用大寫字母來寫，因?yàn)檫@是一種在郵件中表達(dá)憤怒或者其他強(qiáng)烈的感情的方式。沒有人喜歡喊叫的。

【微語】留學(xué)之路雖漫長(zhǎng)，愿你的旅程充滿智慧與成長(zhǎng)。祝你在海外求學(xué)中收獲滿滿，成就輝煌人生。
