美國(guó)流行笑話：Do it herself 自己動(dòng)手做

Do it herself 自己動(dòng)手做

My sister has the courage—but not always the skills—to tackle any home-repair project. For example, in her garage are pieces of a lawn mower she once tried to fix. So I wasn't surprised the day I found her attacking her vacuum cleaner with a screwdriver. “I can't get this thing to cooperate,” she explained. “Why don't you drag it out to the garage and show it to the lawn mower?” I suggested.

我的妹妹有膽量卻不總是有技能來(lái)搞家里的修理。比方說(shuō)，她車庫(kù)里的一大堆零件就是她曾經(jīng)想修的一臺(tái)剪草機(jī)。因此，當(dāng)我看見(jiàn)她拿著螺絲刀正在勁頭十足地?cái)[弄吸塵器的時(shí)候倒也不覺(jué)得意外。她解釋道：“我無(wú)法讓它就范。”我建議說(shuō)：“為什么不把它拖到車庫(kù)去和剪草機(jī)做伴呢?”
