方的ScalersTalk第四轮新概念朗读持续力训练Day165
练习材料:
Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace'. The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them.

终于赶上进度了!之前因为嗓子发不出声音便落下了两天没做,这两天刚好放假,一天多读一篇就赶上来了。
这篇文章中的extremes,我查到的音标是extremes /ɛkˈstrimz/中e是发/ɛ/这个音。但刚刚在听原声音频时,发现这个e更像/ɪ/这个音。所以一开始我默写的音标其实是没错的。只是会稍微和音标网站上有些不同,不过这都无关紧要。
editors 和 editor 这两个词的音标中,只有i的发音不一样。不过,我在听原声时,发现其实他们发出来的声音差别不大。所以,再深究的意义好像也没那么大。
但magazine 这个词的音标是我应该注意到的,因为又碰到了重音和次重音的点。说实话,我还是没能很明显地将他俩区分开来,总是会弄混。
