I was cutting my lawn with a power mower when it slid down an embankment, lopped off a large chunk of my tennis shoe and badly nicked the tip of my left toe. Days later, I was at home recuperating on the couch when my friend called. “I thought I'd bring over a couple of videos to help pass the time,” he said. “Hey, thanks,” I said. “What are they?” “‘The Lawnmower Man’ and ‘My Left Foot’.”
我在用一臺(tái)帶動(dòng)力的剪草機(jī)修剪草坪的時(shí)候,剪草機(jī)從圍堤上滑下來(lái),把我的網(wǎng)球鞋剪去一大塊,刮傷了我的左腳腳趾頭。隔了幾天,我正在沙發(fā)上養(yǎng)傷,一個(gè)朋友打電話(huà)來(lái)。他說(shuō):“我想給你帶兩盒錄像過(guò)去,讓你消磨時(shí)光?!蔽艺f(shuō):“嘿,謝謝。它們是什么名字?”“《剪草的男人》和《我的左腳》?!?
