I arrived in the classroom,ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class.Having taught in the US for 17 years,I had no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature（文学）of my mother tongue.I was shocked when the monitor shouted,“ Stand up ” and the entire class rose as I entered the room,and I was somewhat puzzled about how to get them to sit down again,but once that awkwardness（尴尬）was over,I quickly regained my calmness and began what I thought was a fact – packed lecture,sure to gain their respect – perhaps even their admiration.I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a (n) sense of achievements.My students kept diaries.However,as I read them,the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness.The first diary said,“Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.perhaps her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised,I read diary after diary,each expressing a similar subject.“Didn’t I teach them anything?I described the entire philosophical framework（哲学体系）of Western thought and laid the historical happenings for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained.“How can they say I didn’t teach them anything?” It was a long term,and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students.I thought a teacher’s job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide xact information as directly and clearly as possible.What a differencea However ,I also learned a lot,and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher,knowing how to teach in a different culture.

我来到教室,准备把我的知识和经历与75名学生在我的英语文学课上分享.在美国教了17年的书,我对我抓住他们的注意力并且用我的母语去赞美来影响他们对文学的看法的能力已经没有任何疑问.当班长喊起立并且全班都在我进教室时起立的时候我震惊了,我甚至不知道我该如何让他们坐下,一旦没了尴尬,我便恢复了我的淡定并且开始我所想的那个--整理教学资料,当然,也是为了得到他们的尊敬--甚至于他们的赞赏.我满面红光地回到了办公室,乐观也许来自那种成就感.我的学生们每天保持着记日记的习惯,然而当我读了之后,这种乐观瞬间变成一种强烈的悲伤.第一本日记中写道：我们的文学老师今天没有教我们任何东西,也许下一讲会更加精彩的.带着这种强大的惊奇感,我读了一本又一本,每则日记几乎都有着相同的主题,“难道我没有教他们任何东西么?我叙述了西方哲学体系的思想,并且铺陈了我们在课上所要学习的所有历史上发生的事件,”我抱怨了一下,“他们怎么可以说我没有教他们任何东西?”一段时间之后,我才发现我的教学思想和习惯不同于我的学生们.我认为一个老师的工作就是提一些有趣的问题,然后给学生们提供一些线索,让学生们可以得出各自的结论.我的学生们却认为老师的工作是尽可能直接简捷地提供详细的信息.这个差别真大!然而,我也学到了很多,我的教育中国学生经验已经让我成为一个更好的美国老师,至少我知道如何在不同的文化中教学.
