Up to me came one and a rickshaw puller, a husky and sun-tanned middle-aged man. He lowered his cart and asked, "Where'd ya go?"

有一辆洋车跑过来了，车夫是一个膀大腰圆，脸面很黑的中年人，他放下车把，问我：“你要上哪儿呀”？

I started as a regular “phone man” (“Where do ya want yer phone, lady?”), climbing poles, crawling through attics and under floors.

一开始我是做普通的“电话工”（经常会来一句“请问女士，您家的电话要装在哪里？） ，那时候爬电线杆、翻阁楼、钻地下室什么都做。
