We will be amazed by those simultaneous interpreters wearing headsets and sitting in the booth and it is generally believed that interpreting, in particular simultaneous interpreting between Chinese and English sound like humanly impossible due to its vast difference not only in terms of language, but also, cultures, history and many other reasons. Nevertheless, the booming of the development socially and economically in China and with the ever globalized world has contributed a huge demand for interpreters and the academics and practitioners have joined hands for targeting at training qualified simultaneous interpreters to work for conferences, seminars and other scenarios.

Annie Q Xia has been working both as a practitioner and researcher in the area of interpreting for over a decade and she has received formal training in the University of Bath and worked for numbers of international conferences and regional and international organizations, such as IAEA, the World Bank, etc.. She is now working with MA in Interpreting and Translation in the University of Nottingham, Ningbo, China and her main interest of research is the application of corpora in the teaching and training of interpreting students. She has recently published a widely-quoted book on consecutive interpreting.

In my years of teaching English at NIT, I have noticed that my students often use the phrase “to broaden one’s horizons.” Usually, it arises in the context of an essay or a discussion about studying abroad or travel. This somewhat unusual expression never fails to catch my attention and give me pause. It seems to point to an attitude that I am always excited to witness in a student: the desire to see more, experience more, and to understand more. It is evidence of a natural curiosity and the impulse to explore. It also connects to my most recent observations of China as a modern country that is engaged in a rapid process of ‘opening up’.

The desire to “broaden one’s horizons” – to “extend one’s field of vision” – is, in my view, an ideal motivation for a university student and a reliable engine of personal growth into adulthood and throughout one’s life. But let’s take a deeper look. What does this phrase really imply? How does one do it? Is it about acquiring knowledge, or is it a state of mind? If one broadens one’s horizons, is the expanded awareness permanent, or does it tend to shrink back to where it was before? Is there a limit to how far one’s horizons can expand? Are ‘narrow horizons’ and a ‘limited field of vision’ the norm for most people? Why is it important to broaden one’s horizons? What are the benefits? These are philosophical questions, of course, but I think they are also eminently practical ones. Over the course of my life, I have asked myself similar questions and I’ve searched for answers. If I had to give this personal quest a name, I might call it ‘In Search of the Universal Man’.

I would like to share with you some stories and observations about my philosophical journey, which has taken me to over 40 countries, and which has brought in-depth experience of both Western and Eastern cultures. ‘The Universal Man’ represents one possible synthesis of what I have learned, and what I am still in the process of learning. It is a simple, positive, practical and even scientific way to view one’s self and one’s relationship to the world. It is a humanistic, non-religious attitude that draws upon the knowledge and wisdom of the world’s cultures, including China. In essence, it posits the idea that because everything in the universe is connected, a person’s ‘horizons’ are potentially unlimited.

To conclude, I will take a brief look at the NIT motto, translated into English as “Be noble. Be confident. Be open-minded. Be creative,” to examine how these qualities, which reflect the high ideals of a university education, are also characteristics of the ‘Universal Man’ – an ordinary man or woman with extraordinarily broad horizons.

Stephen Johnson received his B.A. degree in Liberal Arts from the University of Texas at Austin in 1973. For over 25 years, he worked as an information developer and technical communicator for high-technology companies in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. His passion, however, has continued to be travelling and exploring new cultures. His profession made it possible for him to live and work in Germany for 7 years, in the Republic of South Korea for 4 years, and to visit many other countries. Stephen might describe himself as a wanderer, philosopher and writer. Since 2009, he has lived in China, teaching spoken English, English writing and American Studies at the Ningbo Institute of Technology, Zhejiang University.
