Lesson65 Jumbo versus the police
Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital.
lɑːst ˈkrɪsməs, ðə ˈsɜːkəs ˈəʊnə, ˈʤɪmi geɪts, dɪˈsaɪdɪd tuː teɪk sʌm ˈprɛznts tuː ə ˈʧɪldrənz ˈhɒspɪtl.
Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo.
drɛst ʌp əz ˈfɑːðə ˈkrɪsməs ænd əˈkʌmpənid baɪ ə gɑːd ɒv ˈɒnə ɒv sɪks ˈprɪti gɜːlz, hiː sɛt ɒf daʊn ðəmeɪn striːt ɒv ðə ˈsɪti ˈraɪdɪŋ ə ˈbeɪbi ˈɛlɪfənt kɔːld ˈʤʌmbəʊ.
He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing.
hiː ʃʊd hæv nəʊn ðæt ðə pəˈliːs wʊd ˈnɛvər əˈlaʊ ðɪs sɔːt ɒv θɪŋ.
A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side-street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic.
ə pəˈliːsmən əˈprəʊʧt ˈʤɪmi ænd təʊld hɪm hiː ɔːt tuː hæv gɒn əˈlɒŋ ə saɪd-striːt æz ˈʤʌmbəʊ wɒzˈhəʊldɪŋ ʌp ðə ˈtræfɪk.
Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move.
ðəʊ ˈʤɪmi əˈgriːd tuː gəʊ æt wʌns, ˈʤʌmbəʊ ˌriːˈfjuːzd tuː muːv.
Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street.
ˈfɪfˈtiːn pəˈliːsmən hæd tuː pʊʃ ˈvɛri hɑːd tuː gɛt hɪm ɒf ðə meɪn striːt.
The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused.
ðə pəˈliːs hæd ə ˈdɪfɪkəlt taɪm, bʌt ðeɪ wɜː məʊst əˈmjuːzd.
'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards, 'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him.
ˈʤʌmbəʊ mʌst weɪ ə fjuː tʌnz,' sɛd ə pəˈliːsmən ˈɑːftəwədz, səʊ ɪt wɒz ˈfɔːʧnɪt ðæt wiː dɪdnt hæv tuːˈkæri hɪm.
Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'
ɒv kɔːs, wiː ʃʊd əˈrɛst hɪm, bʌt æz hiː hæz ə gʊd ˈrɛkɔːd, wiː ʃæl lɛt hɪm ɒf ðɪs taɪm.'

/e/
1)嘴唇向两侧微微分开,上下齿之间大约可容纳一个小指头尖的距离。
2)舌前部在发音过程中抬起,舌尖稍微接触下齿背。
3)发音时下巴逐渐向下移动,震动声带,发出/e/音。
guard of honour仪仗队(这个词非常的形象了)
Honour/ˈɒnə/ owner/ˈəʊnə/(听写时都听成了owner)
Christmas/ˈkrɪsməs/总是读成/ˈkrɪstməs/
练习感悟:
1.这篇文章很有意思很可爱,但是没有很快听懂……听写正确率很低了,要是听写还是慢速voa开始吧,从新概念可以引出很多个学习方向,但是,我效率好低啊啊啊啊,而且每个方向都想去,太贪心了暴风哭泣。
2.明天要回老家,所以有点忙忙叨叨的,单位又多了点事情,头疼,不想加油。
3.生活就是这样,当你觉得很艰难,坚持住,你会发现,以后会更艰难。
4.还是加油!
