问题: 请教精确的翻译:

1. He teaches physics over at the high school.
这里的over是什么意思?
是“他在这所中学里教授所有的物理课。”吗?

2.he sat leaning against a backpack next to his tent---if you can call a pair of ponchos strung between two trees a tent, which I personally wouldn't if I could help it.
这里的if I could help it怎么翻?
“如果我能忍住的话,我是不会称它为帐篷的。”吗?

谢谢

他靠在一个背包上斜坐着,靠近他的帐篷----如果你把架在两棵树之间的两件雨披叫做帐篷的话,反正除非万不得已,我是决不会这么叫的。
if I could help it如果有别的叫法的话,如果我可以给这东西另起个名字的话,
