(ll.22-24)Almost none of the analogies that have been used so far can fully describe what teaching is all about, (or: Nearly all the analogies that have been used so far can only present a partial picture, rather than a complete one, of what teaching is really about.) In this sense, none of them serves as an apt analogy for teaching.2.Rather than emphasizing the mutuality of the endeavor, each of these common analogiesturns on a separation between the professional and his clients. (ll. 30-32)Each of these popular analogies sees the teacher and his students not as an organic unit tied together in a joint effort, but as being isolated from each other.3.The teacher as actor also plays to a passive audience, but he measures success by largenumbers. (l. 48)The teacher, seen in the role of the actor, would be simply lecturing to an audience, who do not participate, and he would evaluate his performance not by their involvement in classactivities, but by the size of the class.4.The mountaineer accepts his leadership role, yet recognizes that the success of the journey(measured by the scaling of the heights) depends upon close cooperation and active participation by each member of the group. (ll.76-78)The mountaineer allows the guide to lead the way, and is well aware, too, that whether they can climb to the top is decided by how well each member can cooperate with the others and how far each member is ready to involve himself in the endeavor.5.Essential skills must be mastered if the trip is to be successful; lacking them, disaster loomsas an ominous possibility. (ll. 79-80)For a good journey, basic skills form an indispensable part, without which one is likely to encounter misfortune.。

Whoever has had the luck to experience one can alone judge of my situation. The rain pattered against the casements; the bells tolled for church with a melancholy sound. I went to the windows in quest of something to amuse the eye; but it seemed as if I had been placed completely out of the reach of all amusement. The windows of my bed-room looked out among tiled roofs and stacks of chimneys, while those of my sitting-room commanded a full view of the stable yard. I know of nothing more calculated to make a man sick of this world than a stable yard on a rainy day. The place was littered with wet straw that had been kicked about by travelers and stable-boys. In one corner was a stagnant pool of water, surrounding an island of muck; there were several half-drowned fowls crowded together under a cart, among which was miserable, crest-fallen cock, drenched out of all life and spirit; his drooping tail matted, as it were, into a single feather, along which the water trickled from his back; near the cart was a half-dozing cow, chewing her cud, and standing patiently to be rained on, with wreaths of vapor rising from her reeking hide; a wall-eyed horse, tired of the loneliness of the stable, was poking his spectral head out of a window, with the rain dripping on it from the eaves; an unhappy cur, chained to a dog-house hard by, uttered something every now and then between a barkand a yelp; a drab of a kitchen wench tramped backwards and forwards through the yard in patterns, looking as sulky as the weather itself; everything, in short, was comfortless and forlorn, excepting a crew of hardened ducks, assembled like boon companions round a puddle and making a riotous noise over their liquor. By Washington Irving。
