課文講解
Our first customer was Mr. Fu. We used nets to scoop leaves out of his pool. But Eddie was so clumsy. First, he hit me with the net by accident. Then, he knocked over Mr. Fu's expensive plant. Mr. Fu wasn't happy, and I didn't want him to fire us. I said, "Mr. Fu, we're sorry. To make it up to you, we won't charge you today."
我们的第一个顾客是傅先生。我们用网子把落叶捞出他的游泳池，但艾迪笨手笨脚的；一开始，他不小心用网子打到我；再来，他又打翻傅先生的昂贵盆栽。傅先生很不高兴，可是我不希望他开除我们，我就说：「傅先生，我们很抱歉。为了补偿您，我们今天不会跟您收钱。」
I thought Eddie would get better if we cleaned more pools. But we already cleaned several people's pools, and Eddie still makes mistakes.
我以为如果我们清了更多个池子后，艾迪的手脚就会利落点。但我们已经清了好几户人家的泳池，艾迪还是一直出槌。
