Lesson28 No parking
Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths.
ˈʤæspə waɪt ɪz wʌn ɒv ðəʊz reə ˈpiːpl huː bɪˈliːvz ɪn ˈeɪnʃ(ə)nt mɪθs.
He has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners.
hiː hæz ʤʌst bɔːt ə njuː haʊs ɪn ðə ˈsɪti, bʌt ˈɛvə sɪns hiː muːvd ɪn, hiː hæz hæd ˈtrʌbl wɪð kɑːz ænd ðeər ˈəʊnəz.
When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate.
wɛn hiː rɪˈtɜːnz həʊm æt naɪt, hiː ˈɔːlweɪz faɪndz ðæt ˈsʌmwʌn hæz pɑːkt ə kɑːr ˌaʊtˈsaɪd hɪz geɪt.
Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once.
bɪˈkɒz ɒv ðɪs, hiː hæz nɒt biːn ˈeɪbl tuː gɛt hɪz əʊn kɑːr ˈɪntuː hɪz ˈgærɑːʒ ˈiːvən wʌns.
Jasper has put up' No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect.
ˈʤæspə hæz pʊt ʌp nəʊ ˈpɑːkɪŋ saɪnz ˌaʊtˈsaɪd hɪz geɪt, bʌt ðiːz hæv nɒt hæd ˈɛni ɪˈfɛkt.
Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate. It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen.
naʊ hiː hæz pʊt ən ˈʌgli stəʊn hɛd ˈəʊvə ðə geɪt. ɪt ɪz wʌn ɒv ði ˈʌglɪɪst ˈfeɪsɪz aɪ hæv ˈɛvə siːn.
I asked him what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon.
aɪ ɑːskt hɪm wɒt ɪt wɒz ænd hiː təʊld miː ðæt ɪt wɒz mɪˈdjuːzə, ðə ˈgɔːgən.
Jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone.
ˈʤæspə həʊps ðæt ʃiː wɪl tɜːn kɑːz ænd ðeər ˈəʊnəz tuː stəʊn.
But none of them has been turned to stone yet!
bʌt nʌn ɒv ðɛm hæz biːn tɜːnd tuː stəʊn jɛt!
录音时长:1m14s(1m15s)
任务配置: L0+L1+L4
知识笔记:
/ʒ/(bbc音标视频con_voiced_8)
Garage /ˈgærɑːʒ/
1)双唇略微向前突出,略成长方形。
2)将舌端抬起,靠近齿龈后部,但不要贴住。
3)舌身抬起,靠近上腭,形成狭长的通道,气流通过通道时摩擦,同时声带震动发声。
注意:/ʒ/是个浊辅音,发音时只有微弱气流泻出,这是一个较难发准的音,要注意声带的震动。
在单词的中间和结尾出现。注意区别于z, ʃ。
a、当si,su出现在后缀中时其中s字母常发/ʒ/音,例词:
collision /kə'lɪʒ(ə)n/ n.碰撞
confusion /kən'fjuːʒ(ə)n/ n.混淆
explosion /ɪkˈspləʊʒən/ n.爆炸
measure /'meʒə/ vt.测量
pleasure /'pleʒə/ n.快乐
casual /'kæʒjʊəl/ adj.随便的
b、字母组合"ge"也常发/dʒ/,例词:
rouge /ruːʒ/ n.胭脂
garage /ˈgærɑ:ʒ/ n.车库
massage /'mæsɑːʒ/ n.按摩
单词:Gorgon三位蛇发女怪之一。
练习感悟:
1.我在分辨ʒ和ʃ的不同上有难度,所以又听了好几遍bbc,还有英语巴士里面的发音,发现真的很难分辨啊。把音标单独拿出来读是有区别的,但是在单词的层面上,尤其是词尾的ʒ音,不好区分。鉴于毕竟是不同的音标,我根据结果找原因,另外体会同样的单词用这两个音标读的效果不同,得出来的结论是:虽然发音听起来很像,但是ʒ音声带一定要震动,即使震动的效果听不出来,声带要有震动这个运动轨迹。之前是f和v有点分不清,这下又多了一组,苦恼啊。
2.这次录音时长刚刚好,多的一秒是按暂停的时间误差,其实这也说明之前的录音最多能差出两秒来……
3.今天差点就……完不成了……哭唧唧,一到周末不上班就没有规律了。
4.继续加油。
