Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter.Pete used to spend his holidays travelling the world,visiting the Louvre in Pairs or watching animals in Africa.Nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful.Like hundreds of thousands of other British people,he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself),which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house,he will try to do the job himself.As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls,I asked Pete where he got the idea from.He told me that his favourite source of ideas was a DIY programme on TV.This got me thinking about the popularity of DIY programmes in the UK.Nearly every channel has at least one home or garden makeover show and there’s even a DIY satellite channel.I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programmes are so popular.Two common sayings in Britain – ―an Englishman’s home is his castle‖ and ―there’s no place like home‖ – show how important our houses are to us.With the recent economic downturn,many people can’t afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money.DIY is the perfect choice.But be careful!I read a report that said over 230,000 people were hurt while doing home improvements in the UK in just one year,including 41,000 who fell off steps and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by tools.I won’t be going down to the hardware store.I’d rather watch DIY on TV with a nice cup of tea!

上周我去我朋友彼得的新家拜访了他,他和他的妻子,女儿一起住在那里.彼得曾经用假期的时间周游世界,拜访发过的卢浮宫,在非洲看动物.现在他更喜欢用假期和周末的时间把他的家里收拾的更漂亮.就像成百上千的其他英国人一样,他已经发现了DIY（自己动手做）的乐趣,它的意思是,如果家里有任何东西需要修理,他将会自己努力去做这项工作.
As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls,I asked Pete where he got the idea from.He told me that his favourite source of ideas was a DIY programme on TV.This got me thinking about the popularity of DIY programmes in the UK.Nearly every channel has at least one home or garden makeover show and there’s even a DIY satellite channel.I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programmes are so popular.Two common sayings in Britain – ―an Englishman’s home is his castle‖ and ―there’s no place like home‖ – show how important our houses are to us.
当他给我看他自己搭建的新厨房和新刷的墙壁时,我问彼得从哪里来的主意.他告诉我他最喜欢的主意的来源是电视上的一档DIY的节目.这是我开始考虑DIY节目在英国的流行度.几乎每一个频道至少有一个家庭或花园是改造的,并且甚至有一个DIY卫星频道.我猜DIY节目如此的兽人欢迎并不令人感到惊奇.英国有两句谚语：英国人的家是他的城堡,没有地方可以像家一样,给我们展示我们的房子对我们有多么重要.

随着近期经济的衰退,许多人们不能负担得起大的房子,所以他们正在观望如何能够不用花许多钱就能把他们的家装饰的更好.DIY是一个完美的选择.但是要小心!我读读过一篇报道,上面说在英国仅一年的时间,就有23万人在自己改造房屋的时候受伤,包括41000人从台阶上掉下来,5800人因工具使用不当而严重受伤.我不会去五金店.我宁愿在家跑商一杯好茶在电视上看DIY节目.
