Lesson 49 The end of a dream 時(shí)長(zhǎng):84s
Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed.
?ta??d ?v ?sli?p?? ?n e? fl??, ? j?? m?n ?n teh?'r?n se?vd ?p f?? j??z tu? ba? ? r??l b?d.
For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress.
f?? e? f??st ta?m ?n h?z la?f, hi? b??ke?m e? pra?d ???n?r ?v ? b?d w?? h?d spr??z ?nd ? ?m?tr?s.
Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.
b??k?z e? ?w?e? w?z ?v?ri h?t, hi? ?k?rid e? b?d ?n tu? e? ru?f ?v h?z ha?s.
He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up.
hi? sl?pt ?v?ri w?l f?? e? f??st tu? na?ts, b?t ?n e? θ??d na?t, ? st??m blu? ?p.
A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below.
? g?st ?v w?nd sw?pt e? b?d ?f e? ru?f ?nd s?nt ?t ?kr???? ??ntu? e? ?k??t?jɑ?d b??l??.
The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground.
e? j?? m?n d?d n?t we?k ?p ?n?t?l e? b?d h?d str?k e? gra?nd.
Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt.
??l?e?? e? b?d w?z sm??t tu? ?pi?s?z, e? m?n w?z m??r?kj?l?sli ?n?h??t.
When he woke up, he was still on the mattress.
w?n hi? w??k ?p, hi? w?z st?l ?n e? ?m?tr?s.
Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house.
?glɑ?ns?? ?t e? b?ts ?v w?d ?nd ?m?tl e?t le? ??ra?nd h?m, e? m?n ?s?dli p?kt ?p e? ?m?tr?s ?nd ?k?rid ?t ??ntu? h?z ha?s.
After he had put it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.
?ɑ?ft? hi? h?d p?t ?t ?n e? fl??, hi? ?pr?mptli w?nt tu? sli?p ??g?n.

/??/發(fā)音
1)學(xué)習(xí)該音發(fā)音方法請(qǐng)先學(xué)習(xí)/?/和/?/這兩個(gè)單元音。
2)首先短發(fā)/?/的音,嘴唇扁平,嘴不要張得太大。
3)然后很快的滑向/?/音,發(fā)音過程中口型始終是半開的。
注意:/??/是個(gè)"集中雙元音",發(fā)音時(shí)口型由小到大,從合到開。前一個(gè)成分要短一些,模糊一點(diǎn),而后一個(gè)成分要長(zhǎng)一些,清晰一點(diǎn)。英式音標(biāo)中/?/要扁平,沒有卷舌音。美式音標(biāo)/r/要卷舌。
練習(xí)感悟:今天的文章生詞挺多,很多搭配也很好,可以記下來
