Lesson89   A slip of the tongue

People will do anything to see a free show--even if it is a bad one. When the news got round that a comedy show would be presented at our local cinema by the P. and U. Bird Seed Company, we all rushed to see it. We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began. Unfortunately, the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen. Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come. The only funny things we heard that evening came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programme. He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing. We all know what the poor man should have said, but what he actually said was: 'This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company. Good ladies, evening and gentlemen!’

练习感悟：

今天的文章生词不难，重点在模仿原声的语调。在听原声朗读时，发现两个present的发音不一样。才发现在词性不同时，有不同的发音。这个问题以前没有注意到，仔细听朗读确实可以学到东西。

present：在作形容词，表示出席的，在场的，当前的，现在的等意思时；作名词表示礼物时，读作[ˈprɛznt] 。在作动词表示赠与，授予，呈现，引荐，致谢等意思时；作名词表示瞄准时，读作[prɪˈzɛnt]。
