Lesson 41-4 Training elephants

When it is eating normally, its own training begins. The trainer stands in front of the elephant holding a long stick with a sharp metal point. Two assistants, mounted on tame elephants, control the captive from either side, while others rub their hands over his skin to the accompaniment of a monotonous and soothing chant. This is supposed to induce pleasurable sensations in the elephant, and its effects are reinforced by the use of endearing epithets, suchas ‘ho! my son', or 'ho! my father', or 'my mother', according to the age and sex of the captive. The elephant is not immediately susceptible to such blandishments, however, and usually lashes fiercely with its trunk in all directions. These movements are controlled by the trainer with the metal-pointed stick, and the trunk eventually becomes so sore that the elephant curls it up and seldom afterwards uses it for offensive purposes.

9.11

今天是课文最后一部分，生词很多，比较难读。要注意元音的发音，查词时要留意，长单词里面的发音要写对，发音要完整。注意，point作名词有“尖，尖头，尖端”的意思。

简书到9.28才能恢复更新，这是后来补的。
