The Most Unforgettable Character I’ve Met

There was little formality about our sessions, but he never had to discipline us. Since he treated us with unfailing courtesy, we couldn't very well do anything except return it ; approached as adults, we could not show ourselves childish.

我们在课堂上很少拘谨，他也从来不拿纪律约束我们。因为他对我们总是以礼相待，我们便只有以礼回敬；我们是被当成大人看待的，又怎么能显出孩子气呢。

can’t / couldn’t well do sth : 无论怎样也不能
---I can’t very well give up the plan now.
---I couldn’t very well say no when there was no one else she could ask.

approach: v. to begin to consider or deal with开始考虑, 对待, 处理
---There are several ways of approaching this problem.

Besides, we were much too interested and too anxious to participate in the discussion to have time for foolishness.

再说，我们都十分热衷于参加课堂讨论，根本没时间去胡闹捣乱。
