练习材料:Lesson 66:Sweet as honey 时长:1'32
In 1963, A Lancaster bomber crashed on Wallis Island, a remote place in the South Pacific, a long way west of Samoa.
ɪn ˈnaɪnˈtiːn ˈsɪksti θriː, ə ˈlæŋkəstə ˈbɒmə kræʃt ɒn ˈwɒlɪs ˈaɪlənd, ə rɪˈməʊt pleɪs ɪn ðə saʊθ pəˈsɪfɪk, ə lɒŋ weɪ wɛst ɒv səˈməʊə.
The plane wasn't too badly damaged, but over the years, the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained undisturbed.
ðə pleɪn wɒznt tuː ˈbædli ˈdæmɪʤd, bʌt ˈəʊvə ðə jɪəz, ðə kræʃ wɒz fəˈgɒtn ænd ðə rɛk rɪˈmeɪnd ˌʌndɪˈstɜːbd.
Then in 1989, 26 years after the crash, the plane was accidentally rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island.
ðɛn ɪn 1989, 26 jɪəz ˈɑːftə ðə kræʃ, ðə pleɪn wɒz ˌæksɪˈdɛntəli ˌriːdɪsˈkʌvəd ɪn ən ˈeərɪəl ˈsɜːveɪ ɒv ði ˈaɪlənd.
By this time, a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and was rescuing

The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France.

Now a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored.
naʊ ə gruːp ɒv ɪnˈθjuːzɪæsts ɑː ˈgəʊɪŋ tuː hæv ðə pleɪn rɪsˈtɔːd.
It has four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, but the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt.

Imagine their surprise and delight when they broke open the packing cases and found that the fourth engine was sweet as honey-still in perfect condition.

A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive and it was totally preserved in beeswax.

2)嘴巴张开,舌后部迅速降低,抵住软颚的舌离开软颚,气流突然冲出口腔。
