It was one of the exasperating experiences in the first days of my teaching career.•The word “disaster” often means “an unexpected event, such as a very bad accident, a flood or a fire that kills a lot of people or causes a lot of damage”. Here, used informally, it means "a complete failure". The writer exaggerates the situation and uses the word humorously.Sentence Paraphrase… I was fresh out of graduate school starting my first semester at the University of Kansas City. (Para. 1)to have just come from aparticular place, to havejust had a particularexperience, e.g. studentsfresh from college… I had just completed my graduate studies and began teaching at the University of Kansas City.•Part of the student body was a beanpole with hair on top who came into my class, sat down, folded his arms, and looked at me as if to say "All right, teach me something.” (Para.1)•The sentence tells us what an unfavorable impression the student left on the writer the first day he came to class. First, he was referred to as “a beanpole with hair on top” (顶上长了毛、种豆角时用的长竿）.Also, his manners irritated the writer: instead of listening attentively and taking notes, he behaved as if he had paid to watch a show of some sort and was waiting to be entertained.•The word "beanpole“ means "a tall thin person"，Here the writer deliberately evokes a "bean pole”, a pole farmers use as a support in growing beans.••part of the student body: one of the students•the student body: all the students of the university•body: a group of people who work or act together, often for an official purpose, or who are connected in some other way, e. g.– a law-making body 工法机构–the governing body of the university 大学管理机构Sentence Paraphrase•Two weeks later we started Hamlet.(Para.1)•Obviously, the writer was teaching a course on Shakespeare. In such a course, generally five of Shakespeare's plays are studied. Hamlet generally included.Sentence Paraphrase•Three weeks later he came into my office with his hands on his hips. “Look,” he said, "I came here to be a pharmacist. Why do I have to read this stuff?“ (1)•with his hands on his hips: This shows that the student wasn‘t carrying anything, and what’s more, this business-minded young man came to challenge his instructor, like a customer questioning the goods or service they have bought.Sentence Paraphrase•New as I was to the faculty, I could have told this specimen a number of things·(2)•Though I was a new teacher, I knew I could tell him what "university w as for. But I didn't. (我虽然经验不多) 也讲得出这些道埋(但我没有讲)。
