A NEW semester has arrived and students are beginning to get to know their teachers. Here are some terms that describe different kinds of instructors:
1. Teachers with different personalities and teaching styles.
麻辣教師：Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO)
GTO refers to the teacher in the Japanese manga series Great Teacher Onizuka. He is a kind, handsome teacher with an open-minded teaching style. The cartoon series is so popular that GTO has become a byword for teachers who are open-minded, sexy, and charming, and who are always helping “problem students”.
古板女學(xué)究，要求嚴(yán)格的女教師：school-marm
A school-marm refers to an old-fashioned and strict female teacher.
I can’t even imagine how boring my coming semester will be! Our supervisor seems like a school-marm! (簡(jiǎn)直無法想象下個(gè)學(xué)期有多無聊。我們的輔導(dǎo)老師看起來就是個(gè)女學(xué)究！)
2. Teachers who have different job duties
陪玩家教：pupil-sitter
Pupil-sitters mainly supervise students. Their job duties include not only playing with the kids but also basic teaching. So pupil-sitters play dual roles of baby-sitting (代人臨時(shí)照顧嬰孩) and teaching.
Since you love kids so much, why not quit your boring office clerk job and be a pupil-sitter? (既然你這么喜歡孩子，為什么不把現(xiàn)在這個(gè)無聊的辦公室文員工作辭了，去當(dāng)陪玩家教呢？)
在編/全職教師：regular teacher
The regular teacher arrived five minutes before she was due. (那個(gè)全職教師比要求的時(shí)間提前5分鐘到了教室。)
代課教師： substitute teacher, relief teacher
Substitute teachers (in the US and Canada) teach a class when the regular teacher is unavailable (because of illness, personal leave or other reasons). In Australia and New Zealand, students usually call them “relief teachers”.
Mr Wang was hospitalized, and so we’ve got a substitute English teacher today. (王老師住院了，所以今天請(qǐng)了一個(gè)代課老師。)
