English to Chinese translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Idioms / Maxims / Sayings / Common Usage | | English term or phrase: at large | I mentioned earlier that I'm a translator. While this is true in the sense that I get paid for translating and I have a business card stating that I am a translator, I'm still in the process of becoming one. I keep on learning every day about languages, the fields I specialize in, and the world AT LARGE.
TIA! |

此处恐怕要把“the world at large”整合在一起译才好，直译是“整个世界”，变通一下可译为“世间万物”，“物”是广义的“物”，既包括有形的，也包括无形的。 |

Asker: 呵呵，当大使当到最高的职位（境界）就是ambassador at large。“世间万物”翻译得好，我改作“世间万事万物”有点画蛇添足，不过其实也就真的是这么回事儿。谢啦！
