L46-1: Do it yourself
Even men who can hardly drive a nail钉子 in straight are supposed to be born electricians, carpenters木匠, plumbers管子工 and mechanics技工. When lights fuse烧了, furniture gets rickety摇晃的, pipes get clogged堵塞, or vacuum cleaners fail to operate, some woman assume that their husbands will somehow put things right. The worst thing about the do-it-yourself game is that sometimes even men live under the delusion错觉 that they can do anything, even when they have repeatedly been proved wrong. It is a question of pride as much as anything else.
Last spring my wife suggested that I call in a man to look at our lawn mower割草机. It had broken down the previous summer, and though I promised to repair it, I had never got round to it. I would not hear of the suggestion and said that I would fix it myself. One Saturday afternoon, I hauled the machine into the garden and had a close look at it. As far as I could see, it needed only a minor 较小的 adjustment: a turn of a screw here, a little tightening up there, a drop of oil and it would be as good as new.
