（单词翻译:单击）

Mother had decided1 to trim（修剪，整理） her household（家庭的，日常的） budget wherever possible, so instead of having a dress drycleaned she washed it by hand. Proud of her savings2, she boasted to my father, "Just think, Fred, we are five dollars richer because I washed this dress by hand."

"Good," my dad quickly replied. "Wash it again!"
