一个IT学生的personal statement

前一段时间的英语老师要求我们写一个自己的personal statement，我相信，作为一个IT学生，人很多personal statement应该都了如指掌。进一步的研究是必要的出国留学，当然，也想想我的小遥远，情也说不好，说不定以后真能用的着呢。还是认认真真的写完personal statement。下面是英语汉语对比的全文。

As an applicant to your University's Graduate programin Computer Science, I am very glad to have an opportunity in introducing mystudy objectives to you.

I majored in Computer Science and Technology. Duringmy undergraduate studies, I acquired a comprehensive knowledge of computerhardware in all its complexity. I also learnt of diverse software and theirapplications. The courses were as follows: Operating Systems, Data Structures, Compilers,Software Engineering, Programming Languages and Practice, DBMS, SystemProgramming and Practice, Data Communication, Digital Logic Design , C or JAVAprogramming, object oriented programming as well as programming using differenttools and so on.　　

作为贵校的计算机科学研究生课程的申请人，我非常高兴有一个机会介绍我的研究目标。

我的专业是计算机科学与技术。在我的本科学习，我获得了计算机硬件的对应复杂全面的知识，我也学到了不同的软件及其应用。

这些课程例如以下：操作系统，数据结构，编译器，软件project，编程语言和应用。数据库管理系统。系统编程与实践，数据通信，数字逻辑设计，C和java语言编程，面向对象编程等。

My academic interests were distributed systems and ArtificialIntelligence. I completed related courses such as Advanced DiscreteMathematics, Distributed Algorithms, Distributed and Parallel Computing,Database Design, Selected Topics on Distributed Systems, Concurrent SystemTheory.

My research interests are as follows:

1) Machine learning and artificial intelligence

2) Reliable distributed file system

3) High-performance distributed computing

我的学术兴趣是分布式系统和人工智能。我也完毕了相关的课程。如高级离散数学，分布式算法，分布式和并行计算，数据库设计，分布式系统选择的主题，并发系统理论。

我的研究兴趣例如以下：

1 ）机器学习和人工智能

2 ）可靠的分布式文件系统

3 ）高性能分布式计算

As a computer engineer, I have a strong background incomputer science, professional and technical skills in programming and aboutfour year's development experiences in the field. As a researcher, I have astrong theory base in distributed systems and project experiences in design andimplementation of mobile systems. I am familiar with the fundamentals andpractical experiences in my research field.

作为一名软件开发人员，我具有计算机科学专业方面精湛的编程技术和约四年的开发经验。作为一名研究人员，在设计和运行移动端系统的分布式系统和项目方面，我有一个强大的理论基础。我熟悉在我的研究领域的基础知识和实践经验。

　As undergraduate students seldom get to beinvolved in actual research, I took full advantage of the opportunity ofworking in the lab. I particularly enjoyed the seminars held twice a week aspart of the lab work. At these seminars, I engaged in discussions with studentsunder teacher's guidance. The lab experience is adding weight and insights tomy further learning.

本科生非常少有人会參与实际的研究中，我利用在实验室工作的机会。我特别喜欢一个星期举行两次作为实验室工作的一部分研讨会。在这些研讨会上，在老师的指导下，我积极參加一些深入讨论和研究。该实验室的经验为我后来的学习添加了见解，起到了非常大的作用。

I take a deep interest in Networking and Database ManagementSystems. As a part of my curriculum, I am working on a project with several ofthe web-site designing and Large-scale information systems.

One of the projects called website of Hubei ProvincialTraffic Safety Association, The aim of which is to provide the user with a driverinformation and Traffic violations Information depending upon his qualifications.Various database concepts, programming scripts and the maintenance of a serverare some of the features included in our web-site. Another is a System ofFinancial regulation of between city and countryside of Hubei Province, the aimof which is to manage the issue of funds the Ministry of Finance, and theinformation system of teaching manager of one university, including Studentelective of courses system, Performance management system and so on.

我对网络和数据库管理系统产生了浓厚兴趣。正如我的大学课程的一部分，那个时候我的工作就是设计几个站点和大型信息系统的项目。

当中一个项目就是湖北省安全交通协会的系统，这个站点的目的是依据于用户的资格为用户提供他们的车辆信息，交通违章信息等。我们的站点是提供各种数据信息，编程脚本和server的维护等功能；另外一个信息系统是湖北省乡镇財政监管系统，这个系统是为了更好的管理省及其下属財政部的资金的发放和监管；还有就是一个大学的教务系统，这个系统包含学生选课系统，成绩管理系统等等。

I have developed some insights about the Web technology,which is now part of the normal office environment. Its widespread use hasgenerated a lot of demands for change in the format of both the web server andthe web browser. One answer to some of the demands is being met by the adoptionof the intranet technology. With it, the architecture of CGI, SQL DB, WEBSERVER has become a popular topic. I tried my hand in this area several yearsago, and would dearly love to enhance my expertise.

我对很多Web的技术已经有一定深入的了解。这些web技术也是如今的正常办公环境的一部分。不管是Webserver和Web浏览器的格式需求，它的广泛使用已经产生了非常多的变化。一些需求被满足就是採用了内部联网技术。

有了它，CGI的架构。SQL数据库和WEBserver已经成为一个热门的话题。我在几年前就学习这方面。并热爱。这也将提升我的专业知识。

I have tried, throughout my undergraduate career, notto restrict my activities to those imposed by the syllabus. I have been a Chairmanof the Association of Computer, and service a lot for the students to providethem with some knowledge in computers, aim of which was to explain theunderlying concepts used in the Net such as routing, domain naming, protocols& also to give an overview of Internet related languages such as HTML, JavaScriptand Java. I have also attended a seminar on CCF National Conference on ServiceComputing. These seminars have given me some information which was not possiblethrough the undergraduate program.

在我的整个本科期间，我所做的不限制那些由教学大纲规定。

我一直是我的大学的计算机协会会长，期间为同学们服务了非常多。为他们提供了一些计算机方面的知识。比方给他们解释在网络中使用的基本概念。如路由、域命名、协议和互联网相关的语言如HTML的概况、JavaScript、C、Java等相关计算机语言。我也參加了第四届中国计算机学会服务计算学术会议，这些研讨会给了我不可能通过的本科课程学到的东西。

In addition, I have participated in SoftwareDeveloping Competition where I had developed ‘point-to-point mobile phone videophone’ in java along with my co-developers. This psroject mainly analyzedmainly analyzed the video chat software contents, system framework and implementationprocess, the application of the function is to make the Android mobile phonethrough the network to communicate with each other in order to achieve thepurpose of video chat.

此外，我还參与了软件开发大赛，我和我的同伴用java语言开发了“点对点的手机视频通话”。该项目旨在演示和解说了这个视频聊天软件的内容、系统框架以及实现过程，本应用的功能是让Android手机通过网络进行互相通讯以达到视频聊天的目的。

In conclusion I would like to say that the knowledgegained from 4 years of engineering has provided me with a solid foundation.This will certainly help me in my desire to specialize in my chosen field.

最后，我想说的是从四年中学到的知识为我提供了一个坚实的基础。

这肯定会帮助我专注于我所选择的领域。

In view of the above, I would greatly appreciate it ifyou could accept me into your program and offer me whatever financial you mightbe able to. By giving me an opportunity to study under your seasoned guidance,you will produce not only another computer scientist but also a computerscientist who will spawn many other computer scientists.

鉴于上述情况，假设你能接受我进入你的计划，我将不胜感激，无论是否给我提供不论什么金钱上的帮助。通过这次学习的机会。在你们丰富的经验指导下。你会培养不仅仅有还有一台电脑科学家。又是将会催生更多的计算机科学家。

I appreciate your attention and consideration inreading this statement.

我非常感激在阅读我的个人称述时对我的关注和考虑。
