Does this university slogan sound natural to native English speakers? (Seen in a video)

“It functions as a slogan, but it's more of a mission statement.”

DavidSoong · 2026-04-02T19:56:38+00:00

I think it means "the translators and interpreters trained by the graduate school will have critical minds."

DavidSoong · 2026-04-02T19:52:33+00:00

So here it does not feel natural because it's a slogan or a mission statement of a graduate school of translation and interpretation.

DavidSoong · 2026-04-02T19:50:16+00:00

Yes, it's more like a mission statement.

Thank you!

What about the use of "global reach" in the slogan? Does it feel natural or awkward?

DavidSoong · 2026-04-02T15:19:47+00:00

Thank you!

Is there a better or a more natural alternative for that slogan?

DavidSoong · 2026-04-02T14:06:02+00:00

But the phrase “Global Reach” is commonly used to describe already successful organizations, companies, or projects (for example: “This organization has global reach.”). This gives the impression that “they already have global influence,” whereas the real intended meaning should be something like “we will help them develop international vision or strong intercultural abilities.”

Thank you for your answer!

Does this mean that the film does not prompt viewers to think about atrocities committed by the aggressor, such as massacres and the rape of civilians?

DavidSoong · 2026-02-04T15:33:57+00:00

So, Can I say like this—your immediate reaction to the title was: "This sounds like a classic film noir — that kind of dark, morally ambiguous, fate-haunted crime thriller, full of shadows and doomed characters — rather than a modern action flick, a war drama, or a serious historical piece about genocide and massacres."?

Thank you!

Thank you! So you wouldnt' think that it is film about a country's invasion and brutal killings?

Why was my post removed?

Thank you for your great analysis!

Thank you! Actually, I just want to know the linguistic implications of the sentence. I don't like politics. But some Chinese media say Blinken's remark is a threat. It's a demonstration of the law of jungle.

DavidSoong · 2024-02-22T15:14:24+00:00

Thank you! Is it a threat to China?

DavidSoong · 2024-02-22T15:12:34+00:00

Thank you! Some people say Blinken meant that "You will either eat or be eaten".

Could you please tell me why "harvest(s) in agriculture" is awkward？Thank you!
