练习材料：L10(1)：The loss of Titanic 时长：1’30

 The great ship, Titanic, sailed for New York from Southampton on April 10th, 1912. 

ðə greɪt ʃɪp, taɪˈtænɪk, seɪld fɔː njuː jɔːk frɒm saʊθˈhæmptən ɒn ˈeɪprəl 10th,1912.

She was carrying 1,316 passengers and crew of 891.

 ʃiː wɒz ˈkæriɪŋ 1,316 ˈpæsɪnʤəz ænd kruː ɒv 891.

Even by modern standards, the 46,000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship.

ˈiːvən baɪ ˈmɒdən ˈstændədz, ðiː 46，000 tʌn taɪˈtænɪk wɒz ə kəˈlɒsl ʃɪp. 

At that time，however，she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for she had sixteen watertight compartments.

æt ðæt taɪm，haʊˈɛvə，ʃiː wɒz nɒt ˈəʊnli ðə ˈlɑːʤɪst ʃɪp ðæt hæd ˈɛvə biːn bɪlt, bʌt wɒz rɪˈgɑːdɪd æz ˌʌnˈsɪŋkəbl, fɔː ʃiː hæd ˈsɪksˈtiːn ˈwɔːtətaɪt kəmˈpɑːtmənts.

Even if two of these were flooded, she would still be able to float. 

ˈiːvən ɪf tuː ɒv ðiːz wɜː ˈflʌdɪd, ʃiː wʊd stɪl biː ˈeɪbl tuː fləʊt. 

The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life.

ðə ˈtræʤɪk ˈsɪŋkɪŋ ɒv ðɪs greɪt ˈlaɪnə wɪl ˈɔːlweɪz biː rɪˈmɛmbəd, fɔː ʃiː wɛnt daʊn ɒn hɜː fɜːst ˈvɔɪɪʤ wɪð ˈhɛvi lɒs ɒv laɪf.

Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy water of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted by a lookout.

fɔː deɪz ˈɑːftə ˈsɛtɪŋ aʊt, waɪl ðə taɪˈtænɪk wɒz ˈseɪlɪŋ əˈkrɒs ði ˈaɪsi ˈwɔːtər ɒv ðə nɔːθ ətˈlæntɪk,  hjuːʤ ˈaɪsbɜːg wɒz ˈsʌdnli ˈspɒtɪd baɪ ə ˈlʊkˈaʊt.
