❍ 师范生在试教期间，所接触的是这样被看待的学童，等到回转去，教育纯粹的乡村儿童，除了～，那里还有别的。(叶圣陶《倪焕之》348) What the trainees come in contact with during their teaching-practice is pupils regarded in this way,and when they eventually go back to the country to teach purely rural children,how can the result be anything else but having the shoe on the wrong foot?/没有这个变化，没有这个改造，什么事情都是做不好的，都是～的。(《毛泽东选集》808)Without such a change,without such remoulding,they can do nothing well and will be misfits.
