When it came to woodworking, my father had a knack. I did not inherit that knack, which makes his test all the more impressive. One time, Dad gave me a pocket knife for my birthday. I'd seen him whittle, and it looked like fun. He warned me of the dangers and told me to wait until he could show me the proper and safe techniques. I couldn't wait. Almost before he had backed from our driveway, I sliced off a chunk of my thumb and had my knife confiscated.
请高手帮忙指点一下这句话的意思。谢谢

谈到木工活,我父亲是很有技巧的,但我没有继承下来,这是印象很深的。有一次过生日父亲送给我一把随身小刀,我看过他切东西,非常滑稽。他警告我危险性并告诉我等他给我指出正确的、安全的用法后才让我用。但我不能等,几乎在他转身的同时我就切下了拇指上的一大块,小刀也被他没收了。
