Well-Designed Courses Help Discover Interests Wan Weng San, a Class of 2017 graduate from the Department of Portuguese, believes that Portuguese language is a tool which enabled her to learn more about the Portuguese culture. ‘Even just translating a few phrases would give me a sense of achievement,’ she says. ‘We have been given opportunities to participate in Portuguese-language activities since the # rst year. For example, we have attended the Lusofonia Festival and the Art Fair. We have also interviewed people from Portugal. ! rough these activities, I had the chance to speak with people from Portuguese-speaking countries and learn more about their cultures.’ Wan also attended the Sino-Portugal forum last year. In receiving government o& cials from the Republic of Angola, her interpreting skills came in handy. ‘I had learned most of the technical terms, so I was able to perform the task e" ortlessly. I remember one businessman from mainland China asking me to interpret for him and a government o& cial from Angola, and I did. Although they only exchanged a few sentences, it still gave me a great sense of achievement.’ Wan says that although the Department of Portuguese does not o" er a degree programme in translation studies, the well-designed curriculum still allows her to be exposed to di" erent areas of the language, such as translation, education, and literature. ‘! is allows me to discover my interests # rst before deciding which career path I want to follow,’ she says. 張辰曾到過四個葡語國家工作 Zhang Chen has worked in four Portuguese-speaking countries 溫詠珊在中葡論壇負責接待安哥拉的官員 Wan Weng San receives government officials from Angola during the Sino-Portugal forum 專題探討• FEATURE STORY 22
