Lesson 44 A clear conscience 时长:76s
The whole village soon learnt that a large sum of money had been lost.
ðə həʊl ˈvɪlɪʤ suːn lɜːnt ðæt ə lɑːʤ sʌm ɒv ˈmʌni hæd biːn lɒst.
Sam Benton, the local butcher, had lost his wallet while taking his savings to the post office.
sæm, ðə ˈləʊkəl ˈbʊʧə, hæd lɒst hɪz ˈwɒlɪt waɪl ˈteɪkɪŋ hɪz ˈseɪvɪŋz tuː ðə pəʊst ˈɒfɪs.
Sam was sure that his wallet must have been found by one of villagers, but it was not returned to him
sæm wɒz ʃʊə ðæt hɪz ˈwɒlɪt mʌst hæv biːn faʊnd baɪ wʌn ɒv ˈvɪlɪʤəz, bʌt ɪt wɒz nɒt rɪˈtɜːnd tuː hɪm
Three month passed, and then one morning, Sam found his wallet outside his front door.
θriː mʌnθ pɑːst, ənd ðɛn wʌn ˈmɔːnɪŋ, sæm faʊnd ɪz ˈwɒlɪt ˌaʊtˈsaɪd ɪz frʌnt dɔː.
It had been wrapped up in newspaper and it contained half the money he had lost, together with a note which said: 'A thief, yes, but only 50 per cent a thief!'
ɪt hæd biːn ræpt ʌp ɪn ˈnjuːzˌpeɪpər ænd ɪt kənˈteɪnd hɑːf ðə ˈmʌni hiː hæd lɒst, təˈgɛðə wɪð ə nəʊt wɪʧ sɛd: ə θiːf, jɛs, bʌtˈəʊnli ˈfɪfti pɜː sɛnt ə θiːf!'
Two month later,some money was sent to Sam with another note: ' Only 25 per cent a thief now!'
tuː mʌnθ ˈleɪtə,sʌm ˈmʌni wɒz sɛnt tuː sæm wɪð əˈnʌðə nəʊt: ' ˈəʊnli ˈtwɛnti faɪv pɜː sɛnt ə θiːf naʊ!'
In time, all Sam's money was paid back in this way.
ɪn taɪm, ɔːl sæmz ˈmʌni wɒz peɪd bæk ɪn ðɪs weɪ.
The last note said:' I am 100 per cent honest now!'
ðə lɑːst nəʊt sɛd:' aɪ æm wʌn ˈhʌndrəd pɜː sɛnt ˈɒnɪst naʊ!'

点评:
@[00]菠萝-南京-学生 同学你好~你的朗读整体流畅清晰,但是有个别的词不是很对,第一个是wallet /wɒlɪt/ 没有r的音,你发成了/wɒrlɪt/, 没有r的卷舌的,第二个是savings 最后是/z/,不是/s/,最后是 honest的前半部分 /ɒ/ 不是/ʌ/
练习感悟:今天有些心烦没按时完成l3,不过实践了了两天早起完成l0 感觉还是不错的,至少晚上不会很大压力。
其实学英语的这件事是重要但不是特别紧急的事情,在时间安排上应该是一天内没有很紧急的事情时首先完成的。
