精听建议:
先完整地把一条新闻听一到三遍,争取掌握大意。然后,一句一句精听,力争每句话都听明白。遇到实在不懂的地方,再听写。
下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的词都很简单,不过是一些值得注意的连读或者典型的美式发音哦,有些语速比较快。试试看,你能不能全部写对?
(参考文本,欢迎指正^^)
Lesson44 A Neapolitan Fisherman
The Neapolitan fisherman asleep in the afternoon sun was approached by a 1 businessman from another city.
"Why are you asleep 2 doing something useful?"
"What should I do?" answered the fisherman.
"You could mend your nets," suggested the businessman, "and then you would catch more fish. If you caught more fish you would make more money and 3 you could afford a bigger fishing boast which would enable you to catch still more fish. In time you could become the owner of several boats and employ other fishermen to work for you. Eventually you would become a wealthy man with a fleet of fishing boats bringing ashore great quantities of fish and earning more than enough money for you and your family to live 4 .
You would no longer need to work hard or worry about the future. In fact, you'd have la dolce vita. Come on! Wake up!
The day is short but there's still time to attain your ambition."
The fisherman listened patiently — he had enjoyed 5 and felt quite drowsy in the warm afternoon sun — and when the man was finished, the fisherman looked at him puzzled: "I would do all that to have la dolce vita? Why should I do all that to achieve what I already have?"
