练习材料(每天自己打写一遍熟悉文章):
Lesson forty-two, Not very musical, first listen and then answer the question: what happened when the snake-charmer began to play jazz?
[ˈlɛsən] [ˈfɔrti]-[tu], [nɑt] [ˈvɛri] [ˈmjuzɪkəl], [fɜrst] [ˈlɪsən] [ənd] [ðɛn] [ˈænsər] [ðə] [ˈkwɛsʧən]: [wʌt] [ˈhæpənd] [wɛn] [ðə] [sneɪk]-[ˈʧɑrmər] [bɪˈgæn] [tə] [pleɪ] [ʤæz]?
As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of Old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snake-charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs. The snake, however, continued to "dance" slowly. It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!

知识笔记:
单词/词组:
- musical "精通音乐的"

tell表示“辨别”、“分辨”、“识别”时常与 can,could,be able to连用。表达这些意义时,tell可以单独使用,也可以与from构成词组:
My son can already tell the difference between beer and wine.

- pick up有许多含义。它既可以表示“拿起”、“捡起”,也可以表示“意外地找到”、“(偶然地)学会”、“开车去接”等:Didn't you pick up any Chinese while you were in China?
- pick out可以表示“挑出”、“选出”、“辨认出”等含义。
朗读重点:
- surprised [sərˈpraɪzd] / [səˈpraɪzd]
音标发音: obviously

1)将嘴张大,上下齿分开。
2)舌身降低后缩,双唇稍稍收圆。
3)震动声带,短促有力的发出/ɒ/音。
练习感悟:
Answer: The snake continued to play slowly, it seems it wasn't able to figure out the difference between the Indian music and jazz.
