- Yes, you will. And you'll win first prize at the fair tomorrow
- Hmmmph!
- ...and become a world famous inventor!
- You really believe that?
- I always have.
- Well, what are we waiting for. I'll have this thing fixed in no time. Hand me that dog-legged clencher there... So, did you have a good time in town today?
- I got a new book. Papa, do you think I'm odd?
【重点词汇讲解】
1. give up on this hunk of junk 不想倒腾这货了
hunk意为“大块的东西”，这里的hunk还和junk（垃圾）押韵呢
2. I mean it, this time. 这回我是说真的
表达“我是认真的、不是说着玩的”就可以用这句：I mean it.
3. I'll have this thing fixed in no time. 我马上把这玩意整出来。
in no time：马上，立刻
4. dog-legged clencher
clench意为“紧握”，如clench one‘s fist：紧握拳头；clencher就意为钳子；dog-legged这里是描述钳子的样子：长得像。。。狗腿子么？
