练习材料：L32-1：A lost ship 时长：1‘14
The salvage operation had been a complete failure.
ðə ˈsælvəʤ ˌɑpəˈreɪʃən hæd bɪn ə kəmˈplit ˈfeɪljər.
The small ship, Elkor, which had been searching the Barents Sea for weeks, was on its way home.
ðə smɔl ʃɪp, ˈɛlkər, wɪʧ hæd bɪn ˈsɜrʧɪŋ ðə ˈbɛrənts si fɔr wiks, wʌz ɑn ɪts weɪ hoʊm.
A radio message from the mainland had been received by the ship's captain instructing him to give up the search.
ə ˈreɪdiˌoʊ ˈmɛsəʤ frʌm ðə ˈmeɪnˌlænd hæd bɪn rəˈsivd baɪ ðə ʃɪps ˈkæptən ɪnˈstrʌktɪŋ hɪm tu gɪv ʌp ðə sɜrʧ.
The captain knew that another attempt would be made later,
ðə ˈkæptən nu ðæt əˈnʌðər əˈtɛmpt wʊd bi meɪd ˈleɪtər,
for the sunken ship he was trying to find had been carrying a precious cargo of gold bullion.
fɔr ðə ˈsʌŋkən ʃɪp hi wʌz ˈtraɪɪŋ tu faɪnd hæd bɪn ˈkæriɪŋ ə ˈprɛʃəs ˈkɑrˌgoʊ ʌv goʊld ˈbʊljən.
Despite the message, the captain of the Elkor decided to try once more.
dɪˈspaɪt ðə ˈmɛsəʤ, ðə ˈkæptən ʌv ði ˈɛlkər ˌdɪˈsaɪdɪd tu traɪ wʌns mɔr.
The sea bed was scoured with powerful nets and there was tremendous excitement on board when a chest was raised from the bottom.
ðə si bɛd wʌz ˈskaʊərd wɪð ˈpaʊərfəl nɛts ænd ðɛr wʌz trəˈmɛndəs ɪkˈsaɪtmənt ɑn bɔrd wɛn ə ʧɛst wʌz reɪzd frʌm ðə ˈbɑtəm.
Though the crew were at first under the impression that the lost ship had been found, the contents of the chest proved them wrong.
ðoʊ ðə kru wɜr æt fɜrst ˈʌndər ði ɪmˈprɛʃən ðæt ðə lɔst ʃɪp hæd bɪn faʊnd, ðə ˈkɑntɛnts ʌv ðə ʧɛst pruvd ðɛm rɔŋ.
What they had in fact found was a ship which had been sunk many years before.
wʌt ðeɪ hæd ɪn fækt faʊnd wʌz ə ʃɪp wɪʧ hæd bɪn sʌŋk ˈmɛni jɪrz bɪˈfɔr.
The chest contained the personal belongings of a seaman, Alan Fielding.
ðə ʧɛst kənˈteɪnd ðə ˈpɜrsɪnɪl bɪˈlɔŋɪŋz ʌv ə ˈsimən, ˈælən ˈfildɪŋ.
There were books, clothing and photographs, together with letters which the seaman had once received from his wife.
ðɛr wɜr bʊks, ˈkloʊðɪŋ ænd ˈfoʊtəˌgræfs, təˈgɛðər wɪð ˈlɛtərz wɪʧ ðə ˈsimən hæd wʌns rəˈsivd frʌm hɪz waɪf.
