By the way, after class, I'm more than happy to stay as long as needed to answer any questions you guys have or to talk about whatever issues you'd like to bring up, but probably what makes sense is for me to power down the computer and pack up and then we can stand out in the hallway and I can answer questions out there, that way the next class can get in and the instructor can work unimpeded.

顺便说一下,课后,我很乐意多待一会,来回答你们的问题,或者讨论一些你们提出的问题,但我最好是,把电脑关掉,收拾好东西,然后在走廊里来回答你们的问题,这样下节课才能照常进行,老师也能正常授课
