美國流行笑話：Do it herself 自己動手做

Do it herself 自己動手做

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搞家里的修理。比方說，她車庫里的一大堆零件就是她曾經(jīng)想修的一臺剪草機(jī)。因此，當(dāng)我看見她拿著螺絲刀正在勁頭十足地擺弄吸塵器的時候倒也不覺得意外。她解釋道：“我無法讓它就范。”我建議說：“為什么不把它拖到車庫去和剪草機(jī)做伴呢?”
