毒舌文学课教授语录

#1

Did you see the SOS bullshit on the quad?

I wanted to tear that plastic off my office door.

It's okay to be angry. It's okay to be agitated.

因为要去伦敦出差两周，今天他把midterm 试卷给我们回家写，open book, open notebook, closed laptop. 因为讨厌过完midterm所有人把辛辛苦苦背下来的知识忘光。

最后还不忘提醒我们：“Some people would still search online. You can mother-f*cking try. It's useless."

每节课上课之前都会放首歌活跃气氛。唯一能辨认出的一首是平克弗洛伊德，dark side of the moon. 今天放的叫做England，因为一想到要去伦敦喝香槟吹牛皮就很兴奋【British empire. Go！】

偶尔给我们朗读文章，顺便夹带点私货。比如念到恩格斯写的工业革命时期的Manchester，原文是“This district is entirely given over to offices and warehouses"，他加了一句【Wake downtown】。后面又念到“This district is intersected by certain main streets 【by Wake shuttle】which carry an enormous amount of traffic"。 今天读到叶芝的Adam's curse，“Be thought an idler by the noisy set/Of bankers,schoolmasters, and clergymen【business school】”

讲艾略特的荒原，上课前他以胜利者的姿态托着一沓刚判完的期中试卷，一脸坏笑：“This is the cruelty of April."
