题目内容
Fred Ames and I haven’ t much in common. I sometimes wonder why we are friends at all. Perhaps it is Fred’ s skill as a craftsman (手工艺者) that I find so attractive. He’ s always busy making things. Everything he makes is so perfect that I sometimes feel a little of disappointment. If I knock over a vase and it is broken into a thousand pieces, Fred puts it together again in such a way that only an expert would see the difference.My trouble is that I am one of those hopelessly impractical(顽固的) and incurably(不可救药的)lazy people. Outside my work at the office which is dull enough, the only thing that interests me is listening to classical music. I have a big collection of records and all day long the only thing I can think about is when I am going to get home to listen to a new symphony(交响乐 )or concerto(交奏曲).
