练习材料Lesson 47-4  The great escape大逃亡Insularity and self-containment, it is argued, go hand in hand. The opinion does not survive experience of a popular Continental camping place. Holiday hotels tend to cater for one nationality of visitors especially, sometimes exclusively. Camping sites, by contrast, are highly cosmopolitan. Granted, a preponderance of Germans is a characteristic that seems common to most Mediterranean sites; but as yet there is no overwhelmingly specialized patronage. Notices forbidding the open-air drying of clothes, or the use of water points for car washing, or those inviting ‘our camping friends’ to a dance or a boat trip are printed not only in French or Italian or Spanish, but also in English, German and Dutch. At meal times the odour of sauerkraut vies with that of garlic. The Frenchman's breakfast coffee competes with the Englishman's bacon and eggs.音标ɪnsjʊˈlærɪti ænd sɛlf-kənˈteɪnmənt, ɪt ɪz ˈɑːgjuːd, gəʊ hænd ɪn hænd. ði əˈpɪnjən dʌz nɒt səˈvaɪv ɪksˈpɪərɪəns ɒv ə ˈpɒpjʊlə ˌkɒntɪˈnɛntl ˈkæmpɪŋ pleɪs. ˈhɒlədeɪ həʊˈtɛlz tɛnd tuː ˈkeɪtə fɔː wʌn ˌnæʃəˈnælɪti ɒv ˈvɪzɪtəz ɪsˈpɛʃəli, ˈsʌmtaɪmz ɪksˈkluːsɪvli. ˈkæmpɪŋ saɪts, baɪ ˈkɒntrɑːst, ɑː ˈhaɪli ˌkɒzməʊˈpɒlɪtən. ˈgrɑːntɪd, ə prɪˈpɒndərəns ɒv ˈʤɜːmənz ɪz ə ˌkærɪktəˈrɪstɪk ðæt siːmz ˈkɒmən tuː məʊst ˌmɛdɪtəˈreɪnjən saɪts; bʌt æz jɛt ðeər ɪz nəʊ ˌəʊvəˈwɛlmɪŋli ˈspɛʃəlaɪzd ˈpætrənɪʤ. ˈnəʊtɪsɪz fəˈbɪdɪŋ ði ˈəʊpən-eə ˈdraɪɪŋ ɒv kləʊðz, ɔː ðə juːz ɒv ˈwɔːtə pɔɪnts fɔː kɑː ˈwɒʃɪŋ, ɔː ðəʊz ɪnˈvaɪtɪŋ ˈaʊə ˈkæmpɪŋ frɛndz tuː ə dɑːns ɔːr ə bəʊt trɪp ɑː ˈprɪntɪd nɒt ˈəʊnli ɪn frɛnʧ ɔːr ɪˈtæliən ɔː ˈspænɪʃ, bʌt ˈɔːlsəʊ ɪn ˈɪŋglɪʃ, ˈʤɜːmən ænd dʌʧ. æt miːl taɪmz ði ˈəʊdər ɒv ˈsaʊəkraʊt vaɪz wɪð ðæt ɒv ˈgɑːlɪk. ðə ˈfrɛnʧmənz ˈbrɛkfəst ˈkɒfi kəmˈpiːts wɪð ði ˈɪŋglɪʃmənz ˈbeɪkən ænd ɛgz.生词Insularity ɪnsjʊˈlærɪtin. （思想、观点等）偏狭，性僵化；岛国性质（或状态）；岛屿生活状况，与外界隔绝的生活状况exclusively ɪksˈkluːsɪvliADV Exclusively is used to refer to situations or activities that involve only the thing or things mentioned, and nothing else. 排他地; 独占地preponderance prɪˈpɒndərənsN-SING If there is a preponderance of one type of person or thing in a group, there is more of that type than of any other.

Municipalities naturally want to secure the campers’ site fees and other custom. Police are wary of itinerants who cannot be traced to a recognized camp boundary or to four walls. But most probably it will all depend upon campers themselves: how many heath fires they cause; how much litter they leave; in short, whether or not they wholly alienate landowners and those who live in the countryside. Only good scouting is likely to preserve the freedoms so dear to the heart of the eternal Boy Scout.音标：wɛðə ðə rɪˈmɑːkəbl grəʊθ ɒv ˈɔːgənaɪzd ˈkæmpɪŋ miːnz ði ɪˈvɛnʧʊəl dɛθ ɒv ðə mɔːr ˌɪndɪˈpɛndənt kaɪnd ɪz hɑːd tuː seɪ. mju(ː)ˌnɪsɪˈpælɪtiz ˈnæʧrəli wɒnt tuː sɪˈkjʊə ðə ˈkæmpəz saɪt fiːz ænd ˈʌðə ˈkʌstəm. pəˈliːs ɑː ˈweəri ɒv ɪˈtɪnərənts huː ˈkænɒt biː treɪst tuː ə ˈrɛkəgnaɪzd kæmp ˈbaʊndəri ɔː tuː fɔː wɔːlz. bʌt məʊst ˈprɒbəbli ɪt wɪl ɔːl dɪˈpɛnd əˈpɒn ˈkæmpəz ðəmˈsɛlvz: haʊ ˈmɛni hiːθ ˈfaɪəz ðeɪ kɔːz; haʊ mʌʧ ˈlɪtə ðeɪ liːv; ɪn ʃɔːt, ˈwɛðər ɔː nɒt ðeɪ ˈhəʊli ˈeɪliəneɪt ˈlændˌəʊnəz ænd ðəʊz huː lɪv ɪn ðə ˈkʌntrɪˌsaɪd. ˈəʊnli gʊd ˈskaʊtɪŋ ɪz ˈlaɪkli tuː prɪˈzɜːv ðə ˈfriːdəmz səʊ dɪə tuː ðə hɑːt ɒv ði i(ː)ˈtɜːnl bɔɪ skaʊt.生词：Municipalities mju(ː)ˌnɪsɪˈpælɪtizn. 市民，自治市；市政公债（municipality复数形式）网络 直辖市；市民；计划单列市原形 municipalitywary ˈweəri ADJ If you are wary of something or someone, you are cautious because you do not know much about them and you believe they may be dangerous or cause problems. 小心的; 提防的itinerants ɪˈtɪnərəntsItinerants Russia(巡回展览画派), boundary ˈbaʊndəri N-COUNT The boundary of an area of land is an imaginary line that separates it from other areas. 边界wholly ˈhəʊli ADV You use wholly to emphasize the extent or degree to which something is the case. 完全地强调alienate  ˈeɪliəneɪt V-T If you alienate someone, you make them become unfriendly or unsympathetic toward you. 冷落scouting  ˈskaʊtɪŋ N the activities, programmes, principles, etc, of the Scout Association 童军活动eternal i(ː)ˈtɜːnl ADJ Something that is eternal lasts forever. 永恒的练习材料：Lesson 48-1 Planning a share portfolioThere is no shortage of tipsters around offering 'get-rich-quick' opportunities. But if you are a serious private investor, leave the Las Vegas mentality to those with money to fritter. The serious investor needs a proper 'portfolio' -- a well-planned selection of investments, with a definite structure and a clear aim. But exactly how does a newcomer to the stock market go about achieving that?Well, if you go to five reputable stock brokers and ask them what you should do with your money, you're likely to get five different answers, -- even if you give all the relevant information about your age, family, finances and what you want from your investments. Moral? There is no one 'right' way to structure a portfolio.音标ðeər ɪz nəʊ ˈʃɔːtɪʤ ɒv ˈtɪpstəz əˈraʊnd ˈɒfərɪŋ gɛt-rɪʧ-kwɪk ˌɒpəˈtjuːnɪtiz. bʌt ɪf juː ɑːr ə ˈsɪərɪəs ˈpraɪvɪt ɪnˈvɛstə, liːv ðə lɑːz ˈveɪgəs mɛnˈtælɪti tuː ðəʊz wɪð ˈmʌni tuː ˈfrɪtə. ðə ˈsɪərɪəs ɪnˈvɛstə niːdz ə ˈprɒpə pɔːtˈfəʊliəʊ -- ə wɛl-plænd sɪˈlɛkʃən ɒv ɪnˈvɛstmənts, wɪð ə ˈdɛfɪnɪt ˈstrʌkʧər ænd ə klɪər eɪm. bʌt ɪgˈzæktli haʊ dʌz ə ˈnjuːˌkʌmə tuː ðə stɒk ˈmɑːkɪt gəʊ əˈbaʊt əˈʧiːvɪŋ ðæt?wɛl, ɪf juː gəʊ tuː faɪv ˈrɛpjʊtəbl stɒk ˈbrəʊkəz ænd ɑːsk ðɛm wɒt juː ʃʊd duː wɪð jɔː ˈmʌni, jʊə ˈlaɪkli tuː gɛt faɪv ˈdɪfrənt ˈɑːnsəz, -- ˈiːvən ɪf juː gɪv ɔːl ðə ˈrɛlɪvənt ˌɪnfəˈmeɪʃən əˈbaʊt jɔːr eɪʤ, ˈfæmɪli, faɪˈnænsɪz ænd wɒt juː wɒnt frɒm jɔːr ɪnˈvɛstmənts. ˈmɒrəl? ðeər ɪz nəʊ wʌn raɪt weɪ tuː ˈstrʌkʧər ə pɔːtˈfəʊliəʊ.生词investor ɪnˈvɛstəN-COUNT An investor is a person or organization that buys securities or property in order to receive a profit. 投资者mentality mɛnˈtælɪtifritter ˈfrɪtəN-COUNT Fritters are round pieces of fruit, vegetables, or meat that are dipped in batter and fried. 油炸果(或肉、菜)馅饼brokers ˈbrəʊkəzMoral  ˈmɒrəl N-PLURAL Morals are principles and beliefs concerning right and wrong behaviour. 道德portfolio pɔːtˈfəʊliəʊN-COUNT A portfolio is a set of pictures by someone, photographs of their work, or examples of their writing, which they use when entering competitions or applying for work. (用于参赛或求职的) 作品选辑练习材料：Lesson 48-2 Planning a share portfolioHowever, there are undoubtedly some wrong ways, and you can be sure that none of our five advisers would have suggested sinking all (or perhaps any) of your money into Periwigs*.So what should you do? We'll assume that you have sorted out the basics -- like mortgages, pensions, insurance and access to sufficient cash reserves. You should then establish your own individual aims. These are partly a matter of personal circumstances, partly a matter of psychology.For instance, if you are older you have less time to recover from any major losses, and you may well wish to boost your pension income. So preserving your capital and generating extra income are your main priorities.音标：haʊˈɛvə, ðeər ɑːr ʌnˈdaʊtɪdli sʌm rɒŋ weɪz, ænd juː kæn biː ʃʊə ðæt nʌn ɒv ˈaʊə faɪv ədˈvaɪzəz wʊd hæv səˈʤɛstɪd ˈsɪŋkɪŋ ɔːl (ɔː pəˈhæps ˈɛni) ɒv jɔː ˈmʌni ˈɪntuː ˈpɛrɪwɪgz*.səʊ wɒt ʃʊd juː duː? wiːl əˈsjuːm ðæt juː hæv ˈsɔːtɪd aʊt ðə ˈbeɪsɪks -- laɪk ˈmɔːgɪʤɪz, ˈpɛnʃənz, ɪnˈʃʊərəns ænd ˈæksɛs tuː səˈfɪʃənt kæʃ rɪˈzɜːvz. juː ʃʊd ðɛn ɪsˈtæblɪʃ jɔːr əʊn ˌɪndɪˈvɪdjʊəl eɪmz. ðiːz ɑː ˈpɑːtli ə ˈmætər ɒv ˈpɜːsnl ˈsɜːkəmstənsɪz, ˈpɑːtli ə ˈmætər ɒv saɪˈkɒləʤi.fɔːr ˈɪnstəns, ɪf juː ɑːr ˈəʊldə juː hæv lɛs taɪm tuː rɪˈkʌvə frɒm ˈɛni ˈmeɪʤə ˈlɒsɪz, ænd juː meɪ wɛl wɪʃ tuː buːst jɔː ˈpɛnʃən ˈɪnkʌm. səʊ prɪˈzɜːvɪŋ jɔː ˈkæpɪtl ænd ˈʤɛnəreɪtɪŋ ˈɛkstrə ˈɪnkʌm ɑː jɔː meɪn praɪˈɒrɪtiz.生词：Periwigs  ˈpɛrɪwɪgzN a wig, such as a peruke 假发mortgages  ˈmɔːgɪʤɪzN-COUNT A mortgage is a loan of money which you get from a bank or savings and loan association in order to buy a house. 房屋抵押贷款pensions ˈpɜːsnlN-COUNT Someone who has a pension receives a regular sum of money from a former employer because they have retired or because they are widowed or disabled. 养老金; 抚恤金sufficient səˈfɪʃəntADJ If something is sufficient for a particular purpose, there is enough of it for the purpose. 足够的circumstances circumstancesADJ If something is sufficient for a particular purpose, there is enough of it for the purpose. 足够的boost buːstV-T If one thing boosts another, it causes it to increase, improve, or be more successful. 促进pension ˈkæpɪtlN-COUNT Someone who has a pension receives a regular sum of money from a former employer because they have retired or because they are widowed or disabled. 养老金; 抚恤金priorities praɪˈɒrɪtizN-COUNT If something is a priority, it is the most important thing you have to do or deal with, or must be done or dealt with before everything else you have to do. 优先处理的事Lesson 48-3 Planning a share portfolioIn this case, you'd probably construct a portfolio with some shares (but not high risk ones), along with gilts, cash deposits, and perhaps convertibles or the income shares of split capital investment trusts.If you are younger, and in a solid financial position, you may decide to take an aggressive approach -- but only if you're blessed with a sanguine disposition and won't suffer sleepless nights over share prices.
