Lesson55 Not a gold mine
Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently.
driːmz ɒv ˈfaɪndɪŋ lɒst ˈtrɛʒər ˈɔːlməʊst keɪm truː ˈriːsntli.
A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground.
ə njuː məˈʃiːn kɔːld ðə rɪˈviːlə hæz biːn ɪnˈvɛntɪd ænd ɪt hæz biːn juːzd tuː dɪˈtɛkt gəʊld wɪʧ hæz biːnˈbɛrid ɪn ðə graʊnd.
The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where--it is said--pirates used to hide gold.
ðə məˈʃiːn wɒz juːzd ɪn ə keɪv nɪə ðə ˈsiːʃɔː weə--ɪt ɪz sɛd--ˈpaɪərɪts juːzd tuː haɪd gəʊld.
The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it.
ðə ˈpaɪərɪts wʊd ˈɒf(ə)n ˈbɛri gəʊld ɪn ðə keɪv ænd ðɛn feɪl tuː kəˈlɛkt ɪt.
Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure.
ɑːmd wɪð ðə njuː məˈʃiːn, ə sɜːʧ ˈpɑːti wɛnt ˈɪntuː ðə keɪv ˈhəʊpɪŋ tuː faɪnd ˈbɛrid ˈtrɛʒə.
The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground.
ðə ˈliːdər ɒv ðə ˈpɑːti wɒz ɪgˈzæmɪnɪŋ ðə sɔɪl nɪə ði ˈɛntrəns tuː ðə keɪv wɛn ðə məˈʃiːn ʃəʊd ðæt ðeəwɒz gəʊld ˈʌndə ðə graʊnd.
Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep. They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless.
ˈvɛri ɪkˈsaɪtɪd, ðə ˈpɑːti dʌg ə həʊl tuː fiːt diːp. ðeɪ ˈfaɪnəli faʊnd ə smɔːl gəʊld kɔɪn wɪʧ wɒz ˈɔːlməʊstˈwɜːθlɪs.
The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk.
ðə ˈpɑːti ðɛn sɜːʧt ðə həʊl keɪv ˈθʌrəli bʌt dɪd nɒt faɪnd ˈɛnɪθɪŋ ɪkˈsɛpt ən ˈɛmpti tɪn trʌŋk.
In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value fairly soon.
ɪn spaɪt ɒv ðɪs, ˈmɛni ˈpiːpl ɑː ˈkɒnfɪdənt ðæt ðə rɪˈviːlə meɪ rɪˈviːl ˈsʌmθɪŋ ɒv ˈvæljuː ˈfeəli suːn.

练习感悟:
1.每次发完语音我都会收藏,但是qq的撤回和收藏选项是挨着的,好几次我都险些点到撤回,今天我是真的点撤回了,把读的最好的一条撤回了,非常气愤!感冒了总想打喷嚏或者咳嗽,能不间断的读完真的靠运气,哎。
2.今天特别不想学习,早上起得挺早的,状态也特别好,但是刷了会儿手机就颓了,真是害人!
3.加油了!
