比喻记人:烛光-A Candl 烛光
【内容提示】
你有一位老师，年纪大了，不久就要退休。他对你们要求很严，你们稍一出错他就严厉批评。开始，你们和他的关系不好。但是，逐渐地你们才知道他是一位亲切热心的老师。他不仅对你们要求严，对他自己也很严。他一上讲台就陶醉于教学，就会忘记自己的不幸与疾病，专心致志地教你们。你们很爱戴他、尊敬他。他像一支蜡烛，燃烧了自己，照亮了别人。

本文描写了一位忠于教育事业的老教师的形象。他对别人严，对自已也严，一心扑在教学工作中。但是作者对他有一个认识过程：一开始，认为该老师不尽人情，而后来才慢慢地意识到他是一位慈父般的教师，并油然生起对老师的敬意。最后，作者说，该老师教了数不清的学生，用烛光作比喻，燃烧了自已，照亮了别人。结尾与标题形成照应。 比喻记人:烛光-A Candl
