L17-2：The longest suspension bridge in the world

Two great towers support four huge cables. The towers are built on immense underwater platforms made of steel and concrete. The platforms extend to a depth of over 100 feet under the sea. These alone took sixteen months to build. Above the surface of the water, the towers rise to a height of nearly 700 feet. They support the cables from which the bridge has been suspended. Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire. It has been estimated that if the bridge were packed with cars, it would still only be carrying a third of its total capacity. However, size and strength are not the only important things about this bridge. Despite its immensity, it is both simple and elegant, fulfilling its designer's dream to create 'an enormous object drawn as faintly as possible'.

练习感悟：

今天是后半部分文章，生词比较难读，复杂点的句型较多。用了两个半小时才读顺。有几处清辅音的浊化需要注意。比如，[ t ]的浊化，extend[ɪksˈtɛnd] 和 strength[strɛŋθ] 。[ p ] 的浊化，Despite[dɪsˈpaɪt] 。另有几处英音与美音的区别，比如，concrete，object ，estimated，immensity。

今天读得很不顺，反复听了原声，学习断句，停顿之后顺利很多，英语的节奏感真的挺重要。
