My cousin and DIY
我的表弟與DIY
My cousin Andrew is crazy about DIY.
我的表弟安德魯是DIY發(fā)燒友。
He loves to repair things and decorate his house.
他喜歡修理東西和裝飾他的房子。
But when he finishes, the house always looks terrible!
但是當他完成時，房子看起來總是很糟糕！
He once tried to put in a brighter light in his bedroom, but he made a mistake.
有一次他試圖把一盞更明亮的燈放進他的臥室，但他犯了一個錯誤。
Then his w hole house had a power cut.
然后，整座房子都斷電了。
Another time, he wanted to put up a picture on his bedroom wall, but he hit a pipe and filled the room with water.
還有一次，他想要在臥室墻上掛一幅畫，但是他敲裂了水管，弄得房間里到處都是水。
Last month, he thought the living room in his house was boring, so he painted it blue.
上個月，他覺得他的客廳很無趣，于是就把它漆成了藍色。
His mum said, "Stop it."
他的媽媽說，“快停下。”
But he kept on painting.
但是他繼續(xù)刷。
Now the living room has not only blue walls but also a blue ceiling and floor.
現(xiàn)在客廳不僅墻壁是藍色的，天花板和地板也是藍色的。
Even his cat is blue now!
甚至他的貓現(xiàn)在也是藍色的！
When I wanted a shelf above my bed, he said, "No problem!"
當我想在床頭上安裝一個書架，他說：“沒問題！”
He then spent five hours putting up the shelf on the wall.
然后他花了五個小時把架子掛在了墻上。
Then I put my books on the shelf.
然后我把我的書放在了架子上。
Whoops! They couldn't stay there because one end of the shelf was much higher than the other!
哎呦！書無法放在上面，因為架子的一端比另一端要高得多。
I bought some books about DIY for him and I also advised him to take a course in DIY.
我為他買了一些DIY的書，同時也建議他參加一些DIY的課程。
But this just made him angry--he says he already knows everything about it.
這些讓他感到不高興——他說他已經(jīng)非常了解它了。
So instead, I am reading all the books myself and attending lessons every Saturday.
所以反而我自己在讀所有這些書，并且每周六去上課。
Now I know much more about DIY than my cousin!
現(xiàn)在我比我的表弟了解更多DIY知識了！
