正确使用称谓 | Use titles correctly
6.“Salutations matter. The safest way to start is with‘Dear Professor So and 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, and you won’t seem sexist when you address your female-professor as‘Ms.’or, worse yet, ‘Mrs. This and That.’ ”
称呼很重要。最安全的开头方式是用“Dear Professor xx”。这样的话你就不用再考虑这个教授是否取得了博士学位,当你称呼你的女教授“Ms”或者“Mrs.”也不会显得像是个性别歧视者。
提醒:之前委员的朋友犯过一个错误,教授叫Paul Clinton,那么在邮件的开始要称呼教授“Dear Paul”或者“Mr Clinton”,可委员那位朋友写的是Dear Clinton,后来…… 就没有后来了。另外,若是非要写职称,还是请大家一定看好这位老师到底是Dr.还是Professor.,乱写可不行喔。
语言简洁 | Simple language
7.“Clear and concise is best. Your prof might get 25 or 30 E-mails a day, so, it’s best if you ask your questions in as focused and succinct a way as possible. (Hint: it’s often good to number your questions). And, if your question is very elaborate or multifaceted, it’s best to go to an in-person office hour. You’ll get better service that way.”
清楚简洁是。你的教授每天会收到25至30封邮件,所以如果你的问题很简洁明了那是(一般把问题一条条列出来比较好)。如果你的问题表述得很详尽或者是从多层面展开,最好约在教授的办公时间面谈,这样教授就能够更有效地帮你解决问题。
