答案Studying abroad - How do you think studying overseas will be different to studying in your own country? Firstly, studying overseas poses more challenges to students in terms of language, for example, I need to learn English to further my study in the UK, but I don’t need to learn another language if I study in my own country; Secondly, studying overseas rises higher requirements for students to balance their life and study because overseas courses are more flexible than that in China. Last but not least, studying overseas entails very different academic requirements. For example, you will need to submit more term papers if you are in an overseas course. The process of writing a piece of paper requires very different academic skills with that of preparing an exam. - What problems do you think you will have studying abroad? Well, to be honest, I am worried about a lot of things. As you know, it’s a totally different country! I am worried about whether I can understand the language, whether I can get used to local food there and whether I can adapt to the teaching methods in university. I am also concerned about whether I can fit in with my classmates and the locals. I would like to make some friends but I am worried whether we share similar interests. It would be so problematic and lonely if you don’t have friends in somewhere so far away from home! - Do you think you will have many difficulties adapting to a new culture? Yes, I am afraid so because I have never been in a foreign country for such a long time. I am worried whether I can understand local customs and follow them. I once watched a show called ’An Idiot Abroad’, which is about a British man travelling in lots of foreign countries, including China. He found many local things weird and bizarre. I am afraid that part of the strangeness he had is due to cultural differences, if not his ignorance... So I think I would have a lot of difficulties adapting to a new culture, but I will try my very best to get used to it. Future change - Do you think that there will be any major changes in your field of study over the next few years? Yes, I think so. I study English as my major. Now an increasing number of people can speak English, so in the near future, I believe there will be major changes in this major to adapt to this trend. For example, I am afraid that there will be a decreasing demand for translators and interpreters in the future, as more people can speak English. It will also be less likely for companies to hire a translator if all employees know the language. In addition, what makes this process accelerate is the development of Artificial Intelligence, which makes computer translation more possible and more accurate than before. - What do you intend to do once you have finished your studies? I want to be an interpreter after my studies because it gives full play to what I have learnt in university. I believe many of us English majors would dream to become translators or interpreters. I think I will probably become a freelance interpreter based in Shanghai because there are a lot of international exchanges and conferences in the city. This offers a lot of opportunities of translating and interpreting. I choose Shanghai also because I know many professional interpreters there. They would help me build my network and establish my reputation as an interpreter. As you know, in this business, networking can be everything. - What do you see yourself doing professionally in 10 years’ time? And how do you see your personal life changing? I think I will be an established interpreter in a company in 10 years’ time. By then, I would have much experience in interpreting for a certain field and would be able to instruct new interpreters. I think I would even consider establishing my own company by then, providing high quality translating and interpreting services. Given my interest of becoming a teacher, I would also be happy to be invited to give a guest lecture to translation and interpreting major students as well. Besides work, I think I will be married by then, probably have a few kids.
