?L21-2:Daniel?Mendoza?
The two men quarrelled bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a fight. A match was held at Stilton, where both men fought for an hour. The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils.? He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as $100 for a single appearance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836.

練習(xí)感悟:
好久沒有寫練習(xí)感悟了,之前覺得可有可無,真的重新開始還是覺得有必要,模仿過程中的不足如果沒有及時(shí)記錄,一下子就忘記了。
今天這篇文章有一些連讀沒有到位,比如
A match was held at Stilton中held at模仿時(shí)會忘記連讀;還有一句我覺得最難模仿的是 Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. 需要一邊牢記連讀位置,還需要模仿口吻跟笑聲,往往顧此失彼。
重新朗讀了幾遍,又發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些問題,比如poverty的o的音,應(yīng)該讀成a,extravagant中tr的音讀久了舌頭會轉(zhuǎn)不動(dòng),還有就是刪除了文稿中的重復(fù)句。模仿的狀態(tài)是越放松越自然,有時(shí)候太僵硬了,帶著刻意模仿的痕跡,聽著就很刺耳。
