Re: [問題] 碩士論文整本翻譯

[lifegetter (白浪)]

Dear so and so:

Thank you for your last clarification that an English version of my thesis
must be included as part of the application package. However, my thesis is
near 70,000-words long, and it seems impossible for me to have the whole
thing translated before the 12/10 deadline.

Since the purpose of this submission is to provide "a substantial sample
of academic writing" as evidence of my capacity in research, reasoning, and
writing; I wonder if it is acceptable to the university that I provide a
25-page abstract of my thesis as a compromise?



※ 引述《smileme (短髮)》之銘言：
: 我寫信去問 她回答我要english version of master's thesis
: 然後學校網頁上是這麼寫的:
: All applications must include a substantial sample of academic writing. For applicants already having an approved master's thesis,
: the thesis must be submitted. For students holding an M.A. that did not require
: a thesis, and for applicants currently pursuing an M.A., a paper from a
: graduate-level course or seminar may be submitted.
: 我真懷疑教授哪有可能看完整本，然後看一本又一本啊??
: 如果將論文濃縮為20頁上下交出去，不知道這樣是否可行?
: ※ 引述《smileme (短髮)》之銘言：
: : 想申請的其中一所學校要求繳交碩士論文的english version
: : 所以需要翻譯一整本論文(六萬九千多字)
: : 真是我的天啊
: : 想請問各位
: : 我應該選擇怎麼樣的途徑來完成這件事(在12/10以前)是比較經濟實惠且能趕上deadline的?
: : 因為一個字1.4元的翻譯，不就要....嗚嗚...
: : 拜託請各位給我意見了!
: : 謝謝!
