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!

世间万物

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。
Note from 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!
