练习材料： L3-(2): An unknown goddess 时长1’10s

The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the 15th century B.C.

ðə ˈbɒdi ɒv wʌn ˈstætjuː wɒz faʊnd əˈmʌŋ rɪˈmeɪnz ˈdeɪtɪŋ frɒm ðiː 15th ˈsɛnʧʊri biː.siː.

Its missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B. C. 

 ɪts ˈmɪsɪŋ hɛd ˈhæpənd tuː biː əˈmʌŋ rɪˈmeɪnz ɒv ðə fɪfθ ˈsɛnʧʊri biː. siː.

This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. 

ðɪs hɛd mʌst hæv biːn faʊnd ɪn ˈklæsɪkəl taɪmz ænd ˈkeəfli prɪˈzɜːvd.

It was very old and precious even then. 

 ɪt wɒz ˈvɛri əʊld ænd ˈprɛʃəs ˈiːvən ðɛn. 

When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman.

wɛn ði ˌɑːkɪˈɒləʤɪsts ˌriːkənsˈtrʌktɪd ðə ˈfrægmənts, ðeɪ wɜːr əˈmeɪzd tuː faɪnd ðæt ðə ˈgɒdɪs tɜːnd aʊt tuː biː ə ˈvɛri ˈmɒdən-ˈlʊkɪŋ ˈwʊmən.

 She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hips.

ʃiː stʊd θriː fiːt haɪ ænd hɜː hændz ˈrɛstɪd ɒn hɜː hɪps.

She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. 

ʃiː wɒz ˈweərɪŋ ə ˈfʊlˈlɛŋθ skɜːt wɪʧ swɛpt ðə graʊnd.

Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.

 dɪsˈpaɪt hɜː greɪt eɪʤ, ʃiː wɒz ˈvɛri ˈgreɪsfʊl ɪnˈdiːd, bʌt, səʊ fɑː, ði ˌɑːkɪˈɒləʤɪsts hæv biːn ʌnˈeɪbl tuː dɪsˈkʌvə hɜːr aɪˈdɛntɪti.
