L7(2)：Mutilated ladies

ɛl7(2)：ˈmjuːtɪleɪtɪd ˈleɪdɪz

John had very good day and put his wallet containing $3，000 into the microwave oven for safekeeping.

Then he and Jane went horse-riding. When they got home, Jane cooked their dinner in the microwave oven and without realizing it, cooked her fiancé's wallet as well. Imagine their dismay when they found a beautifully-cooked wallet and notes turned to ash！John went to see his bank manager who sent the remains of wallet and the money to the special department of the Bank of England in Newcastle： the Mutilate Ladies！

They examined the remains and John got all his money back.

'So long as there's something to identify, we will give people their money back，' said a spokeswoman for the Bank.

'Last year, we paid $1.5m on 21，000 claims.'

知识笔记：

/u:/：长元音，发音时舌身后缩，舌后部尽量向软腭抬起，这是后元音中舌位最高的一个；牙床接近全合；双唇收得极小而圆，但不发生摩擦。嘴型比/u/音更小，是后元音中双唇收得最小最圆的一个；双唇用力向前突出，有点像拉长了音说“乌”，但乌的口型较扁；这个音一般出现在词中或者词末，但很少出现在词首；to在重读时发/tu/,但在弱读时（一般在动词不定式前，其中动词时辅音开头时）发/tə/。

'So long as there's 只要有...
