练习材料：Lesson 24-2 A skeleton in the cupboard 时长：1’05
I once spend an uncomfortable weekend which I shall never forget at his house.
aɪ wʌns spɛnd ən ʌnˈkʌmfətəbl ˈwiːkˈɛnd wɪʧ aɪ ʃæl ˈnɛvə fəˈgɛt æt hɪzhaʊs.
George showed me to the guestroom which, he said, was rarely used.
ʤɔːʤ ʃəʊd miː tuː ðə ˈgɛstrʊm wɪʧ, hiː sɛd, wɒz ˈreəli juːzd.
He told me to unpack my things and then come down to dinner.
hiː təʊld miː tuː ʌnˈpæk maɪ θɪŋz ænd ðɛn kʌm daʊn tuː ˈdɪnə.
After I had stacked my shirts and underclothes in two empty drawers, I decided to hang one of the two suits I had brought with me in the cupboard.
ˈɑːftər aɪ hæd stækt maɪ ʃɜːts ænd ˈʌndəkləʊðz ɪn tuː ˈɛmpti drɔːz, aɪ dɪˈsaɪdɪd tuː hæŋ wʌn ɒv ðə təʊ sjuːts aɪ hæd brɔːt wɪð miː ɪn ðə ˈkʌbəd.
I opened the cupboard door and then stood in front of it petrified.
aɪ ˈəʊpənd ðə ˈkʌbəd dɔːr ænd ðɛn stʊd ɪn frʌnt ɒv ɪt ˈpɛtrɪfaɪd.
A skeleton was dangling before my eyes.
ə ˈskɛlɪtn wɒz ˈdæŋglɪŋ bɪˈfɔː maɪ aɪz.
The sudden movement of the door made it sway slightly and it gave me the impression that it was about to leap out at me.
ðə ˈsʌdn ˈmuːvmənt ɒv ðə dɔː meɪd ɪt sweɪ ˈslaɪtli ænd ɪt geɪv miː ði ɪmˈprɛʃən ðæt ɪt wɒz əˈbaʊt tuː liːp aʊt æt miː.
Dropping my suit, I dashed downstairs to tell George.
ˈdrɒpɪŋ maɪ sjuːt, aɪ dæʃt ˌdaʊnˈsteəz tuː tɛl ʤɔːʤ.
This was worse than "a terrible secret' this was a read skeleton!
ðɪs wɒz wɜːs ðæn "ə ˈtɛrəbl ˈsiːkrɪt; ðɪs wɒz ə riːd ˈskɛlɪtn!
But George was unsympathetic. “Oh, that,” he said with a smile as if he were talking about an old friend.
bʌt ʤɔːʤ wɒz ˌʌnˌsɪmpəˈθɛtɪk. “əʊ, ðæt,” hiː sɛd wɪð ə smaɪl æz ɪf hiː wɜː ˈtɔːkɪŋ əˈbaʊt ən əʊld frɛnd.
“That's Sebastian. You forget that I was a medical student once upon a time.”
“ðæts sɪˈbæstɪən. juː fəˈgɛt ðæt aɪ wɒz ə ˈmɛdɪkəl ˈstjuːdənt wʌns əˈpɒn ə taɪm.”
