Translation examples
But my father had stated on several occasions, sometimes even lightheartedly, that anything that had to do with the scholastic world irritated him—colleagues put him in a bad mood, he despised hierarchies, the rites of collegial bodies—and so he was always wary of setting foot in my school in the guise of parent, he knew that he would surely be harmful to me.
Mein Vater dagegen hatte des Öfteren und manchmal geradezu fröhlich verkündet, dass ihn alles, was mit Schule zu tun hatte, nervös mache – seine Kollegen verdarben ihm die Laune, er hasste Hierarchien und die Riten der Kollegien –, und darum habe er sich jedes Mal wohlweislich gehütet, als Vater einen Fuß in meine Schule zu setzen, er wisse, dass er mir garantiert schaden würde.
