855　Not just once 不只是一次

I had volunteered to tar the roof on my father's shed. I was about halfway done when I slipped and fell flat on my face getting black goop all over my shirt, my pants, even my hair. Hearing the thud, Dad looked up. “What happened?” I got up and began to say, “All I did was...” when my feet shot out from under me and I flipped into the tarry mess a second time.

我自告奋勇地为我父亲的小木棚的屋顶浇沥青。在做了差不多一半的时候，我滑了一下，摔了个狗吃屎，我的衬衣、裤子，甚至头发都沾上了黏糊糊的黑东西。听到我摔倒的声音，我父亲往上看，问：“发生了什么事？”我站起来说：“我做的是……”脚下一滑，第二次摔倒在沥青上。
