练习材料：Lesson 22-1 By heart 时长：59s
Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end.
sʌm pleɪz ɑː səʊ səkˈsɛsfʊl ðæt ðeɪ rʌn fɔː jɪəz ɒn ɛnd.
In many ways, this is unfortunate for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the same lines night after night.
ɪn ˈmɛni weɪz, ðɪs ɪz ʌnˈfɔːʧnɪt fɔː ðə pʊər ˈæktəz huː ɑː rɪˈkwaɪəd tuː gəʊ ɒn rɪˈpiːtɪŋ ðə seɪm laɪnz naɪt ˈɑːftə naɪt.
One would expect them to know their parts by heart and never have cause to falter.
wʌn wʊd ɪksˈpɛkt ðɛm tuː nəʊ ðeə pɑːts baɪ hɑːt ænd ˈnɛvə hæv kɔːz tuː ˈfɔːltə.
Yet this is not always the case.
jɛt ðɪs ɪz nɒt ˈɔːlweɪz ðə keɪs.
A famous actor in a highly successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat who had been imprisoned in the Bastille for twenty years.
ə ˈfeɪməs ˈæktər ɪn ə ˈhaɪli səkˈsɛsfʊl pleɪ wɒz wʌns kɑːst ɪn ðə rəʊl ɒv ən ˈærɪstəkræt huː hæd biːn ɪmˈprɪznd ɪn ðə bæsˈtiːl fɔː ˈtwɛnti jɪəz.
In the last act, a gaoler would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner.
ɪn ðə lɑːst ækt, ə ˈʤeɪlə wʊd ˈɔːlweɪz kʌm ɒn tuː ðə steɪʤ wɪð ə ˈlɛtə wɪʧ hiː wʊd hænd tuː ðə ˈprɪznə.
Even though the noble was expected to read the letter at each performance, he always insisted that it should be written out in full.
ˈiːvən ðəʊ ðə ˈnəʊbl wɒz ɪksˈpɛktɪd tuː riːd ðə ˈlɛtər æt iːʧ pəˈfɔːməns, hiː ˈɔːlweɪz ɪnˈsɪstɪd ðæt ɪt ʃʊd biː ˈrɪtn aʊt ɪn fʊl.
