练习材料:L12(2):Life on a desert island 时长:1'04
Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer.
tuː mɛn huː ˈriːsntli spɛnt faɪv deɪz ɒn ə ˈkɒrəl ˈaɪlənd wɪʃt ðeɪ hæd steɪd ðeə ˈlɒŋgə.
They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired.

During the journey, their boat began to sink.
ˈdjʊərɪŋ ðə ˈʤɜːni, ðeə bəʊt bɪˈgæn tuː sɪŋk.
They quickly loaded a small rubber dinghy with food, matches, and cans of beer and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island.
ðeɪ ˈkwɪkli ˈləʊdɪd ə smɔːl ˈrʌbə ˈdɪŋgi wɪð fuːd, ˈmæʧɪz, ænd kænz ɒv bɪər ænd rəʊd fɔːr ə fjuː maɪlz əˈkrɒs ðə ˌkærɪˈbiːən ənˈtɪl ðeɪ əˈraɪvd æt ə ˈtaɪni ˈkɒrəl ˈaɪlənd.
There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove to be a problem.

The men collected rainwater in the rubber dinghy.

As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat.
æz ðeɪ hæd brɔːt ə spɪə gʌn wɪð ðɛm, ðeɪ hæd ˈplɛnti tuː iːt.
They caught lobster and fish everyday,and, as one of them put it 'ate like kings'.
ðeɪ kɔːt ˈlɒbstər ænd fɪʃ ˈɛvrideɪ,ænd, æz wʌn ɒv ðɛm pʊt ɪt ɛt laɪk kɪŋz.
When a passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave.

知识笔记:
dinghy UK /ˈdɪŋ.ɡi/ US /ˈdɪŋ.i/ a small open boat
/g/与/k/ 是一对清浊辅音,为舌根软腭爆破音。
/k/发音时,软腭抬起,堵住鼻腔通道,舌后部同时隆起紧贴软腭,憋住气流,然后突然分开,气流冲向口腔,形成爆破音。/k/是清辅音,只送气,声带不振动。/g/是浊辅音,不送气 声带振动。
