I am going to tell you about an experience that I achieved the meritorious winner,the third level of the award,in the Mathematical Contest in Modeling.It is an annually-held competition that originated in the United States,now attracting thousands of international teams of three undergraduates or postgraduates to participate.Candidates have to analyze the given question,establish a model for it and then write a formal academic paper within 96 hours.

我要告訴你的經(jīng)歷是，我在數(shù)學(xué)建模大賽中獲得優(yōu)異獎，也就是第三等級的獎項。它是一個發(fā)源于美國、每年都會舉辦的競賽，現(xiàn)在吸引著上千支由3名本科生或者研究生組成的隊伍參加。參賽者必須在96個小時里分析給定的題目，為它建立模型，并寫出正式的學(xué)術(shù)論文。

As a student majoring in social science,my specialty lies in the analysis and essay writing.So to win this competition,the first thing I did was to find two teammates from the mathematics department to make up for this shortcoming.Thanks to social media,I easily found the contact details of two straight-A students and asked if they would like to team up with me.I had expected it would take some persuasion,but quite to my surprise,they said yes soon after I introduced this competition.

作為一名社會科學(xué)的學(xué)生，我的強項在于分析與論文寫作。所以為了贏得比賽，我做的第一件事就是找兩名來自數(shù)學(xué)系的隊友，以彌補這一缺點。感謝社交媒體的出現(xiàn)，我輕易找到了兩個優(yōu)秀學(xué)生的聯(lián)系方式，詢問他們是否想跟我組隊。我本來想著得花些功夫才能說服他們。沒想到，他們在聽完我的介紹之后很快就答應(yīng)了。

Because of its intense schedule,we had clearly divided the task to maximize our efficiency.On the first day,we together analyzed the problem,decided on its key elements,and came up with our solution.Then they started building the model,and I took a rest to store enough stamina for the later paper writing.In the last 12 hours,we came together again to discuss if there was any place to perfect and did the final revision.

因為它緊張的日程，為了最大化效率，我們進行了明確的分工。第一天，我們一起分析問題，決定它的要素，并提出解決方案。然后他們開始搭建模型，而我則休息一下，為之后的論文寫作儲備體力。在最后的12個小時，我們會再次聚在一起，討論是否有什么需要完成的地方，并做最后的檢查。

I was so excited to learn that we won the award,not only because it proved that we were better than most other teams around the world,but also because it would be a highlight on my resume,gaining me a sharp edge in the competitive labor market and helping me find a decent job.

得知我們獲獎之后我很激動，不僅僅因為它證明我們比世界上大多數(shù)隊伍要優(yōu)秀，還因為它會成為我簡歷上的一個亮點，為我在競爭激烈的勞動力市場上獲取優(yōu)勢，并幫助我找到一個體面的工作。
