留校第一年,作为见习助教,我负责一名制图教授所带学生的辅导工作。我的具体工作有三件:和学生一起听教授的课,课后答疑解惑,批改作业。那是个民族班,学生全部来自新疆,他们高大魁梧,身上带着那个遥远之地民族血脉相传的爽直豪放。由于我和他们年龄相差无几,因而在他们面前如何作势使我很为难:过于严肃,会和学生产生距离;过于活泼,又会使我有失老师的尊严,加之语言障碍,他们带着浓重地方口音的普通话经常让我摸不着头脑。开学不久,我就和一个叫克里木的学生发生了争执。 In my first year of school, as a trainee assistant, I was responsible for the counseling work of a drawing professor. My specific job is threefold: Listen to the professor’s class with the students, answer questions after class, and correct assignments. It was a national class. All the students were from Xinjiang. They were tall and burly, and they carried the bloods of the people from that distant land. Because I was almost the same age as them, it made me very difficult to behave in front of them: I was too serious and would have a distance with the students; I was too lively, and it made me lose the dignity of the teacher, plus language barriers, and they took heavy places. Mandarin accent often makes me scratch my head. Shortly after school started, I had a dispute with a student called Keri.
