Lesson 49 The end of a dream
Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house. He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. When he woke up, he was still on the mattress. 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. After he had put it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.

练习感悟:
今天练习的时候,强烈感受到原音与自己声音的不同,非常不想要接受这种原声,我喜欢的是美剧Felicity里头Felicity的声音,我也爱desperate house里头各位主妇的声音,尤其Mary Alice Young还有Lynette的声音。可是,今天听的新概念的音,我调整了很多遍,终于在原声跟自己的声音之间找了一个自己觉得还可以的位置,录了一遍。很矛盾的心情,想要无限靠近原声,但是内心又是抵触的,觉得这不是我想要的那种语音语调。
不知道今天的这种情绪是怎么回事。我该如何调整呢?
思考了一下,我最初朗读新概念,是因为我想好好从最基础的开始,不论是语音还是单词等等,我想盖好地基,所以,我的重点应该在成系统的过几遍语音知识,最好有自己的感悟,形成自己的理论体系。这件事最重要,别忘了我自己来干嘛的。
至于以后我想模仿谁的语音,或者我是美音英音中国音,不是我该纠结的。
