贴一下他的回信:
Very good!  I had to look up the definition of choleric-  seems like a good
word for me to know.   Although it was  slightly misused in this case, that
is forgiven.  Thanks.
Sincerely,  Professor Jones
PS:  I think most American Professors become choleric when it comes to the d
aily deluge of SPAM.  In most cases, they just hit “DELETE”
Maybe I should do that in the future.
PSS:  Here is some advice.  Decide what you want to do, first.  Research it
carefully and focus on one, or at most, two professors with whom you want to
work with.  Put all your energy into that one Professor rather than the “c
ast a broad net” approach to hope you “catch” someone willing to let you
in (if they are caught, they will soon feel like they are fried and eaten).
I get so many disingenuous messages from young Chinese students each day wh
o tell me that they are really really really  interested in my research and
want to work in my lab.  It does not take me long to find out that they have
not even read my papers and have no idea of what I do.  That makes me chole
ric.  No one likes to feel duped.
PSSS:  The widespread cheating for GRE and TOEFL exams has indeed been docum
ented.  It is now a proven fact that it is widespread and a serious problem.
  I am sure, however, that YOU are not one of the cheaters.  Good luck at Jo
hns Hopkins.
PSSS:  I have 5 very good Chinese postdocs in my lab.  I am not prejudice an
d I get my information from the source about China and the means by which Ch
inese students try to make it to the US


底下是原作者发的信,误把给JOHNS HOPKINS的信发到了UNC的教授那里

给a校教授发信说我要申请b校
下面是他的回信

Dear :

If you want to apply to John’s Hopkins University so badly, then why are yo
u sending me this message.  You say you are “so interested in my program”
but I have a feeling that you don’t even know what my laboratory does.  You
obviously don’t know what university I work at.

Please do not send anymore SPAM.  There are already many other Chinese appli
cants that deserve our attention.

Sincerely, Professor “FILL IN THE BLANK”

PS:   because of the widespread cheating in China, most US University admiss
ions committees no longer consider the GRE scores for Chinese applicants.   
You can thank your peers for that.

前面的话我认了,是我愚蠢所致,但最后一句我觉得很悲哀,我们的形象已经变成
widespread cheating!!!

真可悲,中国人的GRE就可样成为了考不考都无所谓的鸡肋

多下些工夫在科研和研究教授科研上吧
作者: saintman    时间: 2003-9-25 01:28:02

yes
it is not a good news for us

其实美国学生在寻找导师方面比起我们实在有目的很多。虽然出于美国本土优势他们在申请时有着我们无法相比的优先权,但我们至少应该为自己的未来有一个初步设计,不要因为申请中竞争的激烈而盲目撞运气。

我相信我们申请的学生中很多是一流的。但小部分人的行为就足以给全体中国学生抹黑。

我们当中相当数量的人,对自己到底要做什么,要研究什么,还没有形成一个清晰的认识,或者还没有想过要弄清楚这一点!

这个教授真是认真可爱^_^
作者: mich    时间: 2003-9-25 13:03:31

这位教授说的的确有道理,现在很多人都没搞清将来要干嘛,就急不可耐的去所谓的陶瓷,假如是我,我也会愤怒的。但是他说“widespread cheating”,我觉得太ft了,我们都是辛辛苦苦考出来的
作者: littlegun    时间: 2003-9-25 20:12:10

就是啊,我们也不容易的说

不过美国教授恐怕不会太明白我们的心情吧
作者: starkid    时间: 2003-9-25 20:20:27

其实很多教授本来都是很友好的,只不过我们自己,今后真的应该更认真谦虚一点儿。
陶瓷的时候一定看清楚。每个人都有情绪,将心比心,我们应该理解他们---当然,教授有些言辞也太过了--虽然是气话。
作者: huangzhong1027    时间: 2003-9-25 23:45:31

没错,将心比心。其实美国人的思维方式有一点和我们不同。everyone is presumablily innocent。但只要他碰上一个作弊的大陆留学生,那咱在他的眼中就都guilty了。

有意思的教授
