练习材料：Lesson 86 Out of control 时长: 87s
As the man tried to swing the speed-boat round, the steering-wheel came away in his hands.
æz ðə mæn traɪd tuː swɪŋ ðə ˈspiːdbəʊt raʊnd, ðə ˈstɪərɪŋwiːl keɪm əˈweɪ ɪn hɪz hændz.
He waved desperately to his companion, who had been water-skiing for the last fifteen minutes.
hiː weɪvd ˈdɛspərɪtli tuː hɪz kəmˈpænjən, huː hæd biːn ˈwɔːtə-ˈskiːɪŋ fɔː ðə lɑːst ˈfɪfˈtiːn ˈmɪnɪts.
Both men had hardly had time to realize what was happening when they were thrown violently into the sea.
bəʊθ mɛn hæd ˈhɑːdli hæd taɪm tuː ˈrɪəlaɪz wɒt wɒz ˈhæpnɪŋ wɛn ðeɪ wɜː θrəʊn ˈvaɪələntli ˈɪntuː ðə siː.
The speed-boat had struck a buoy, but it continued to move very quickly across the water.
ðə ˈspiːdbəʊt hæd strʌk ə bɔɪ, bʌt ɪt kənˈtɪnju(ː)d tuː muːv ˈvɛri ˈkwɪkli əˈkrɒs ðə ˈwɔːtə.
Both men had just begun to swim towards the shore. when they noticed with dismay that the speed-boat was moving in a circle.
bəʊθ mɛn hæd ʤʌst bɪˈgʌn tuː swɪm təˈwɔːdz ðə ʃɔː. wɛn ðeɪ ˈnəʊtɪst wɪð dɪsˈmeɪ ðæt ðə ˈspiːdbəʊt wɒz ˈmuːvɪŋ ɪn ə ˈsɜːkl.
It now came straight towards them at tremendous speed.
ɪt naʊ keɪm streɪt təˈwɔːdz ðɛm æt trɪˈmɛndəs spiːd.
In less than a minute, it roared past them only a few feet away.
ɪn lɛs ðæn ə ˈmɪnɪt, ɪt rɔːd pɑːst ðɛm ˈəʊnli ə fjuː fiːt əˈweɪ.
After it had passed, they swam on as quickly as they could because they knew that the boat would soon return.
ˈɑːftər ɪt hæd pɑːst, ðeɪ swæm ɒn æz ˈkwɪkli æz ðeɪ kʊd bɪˈkɒz ðeɪ njuː ðæt ðə bəʊt wʊd suːn rɪˈtɜːn.
They had just had enough time to swim out of danger when the boat again completed a circle.
ðeɪ hæd ʤʌst hæd ɪˈnʌf taɪm tuː swɪm aʊt ɒv ˈdeɪnʤə wɛn ðə bəʊt əˈgɛn kəmˈpliːtɪd ə ˈsɜːkl.
On this occasion, however, it had slowed down considerably.
ɒn ðɪs əˈkeɪʒən, haʊˈɛvə, ɪt hæd sləʊd daʊn kənˈsɪdərəbli.
The petrol had nearly all been used up.
ðə ˈpɛtrəl hæd ˈnɪəli ɔːl biːn juːzd ʌp.
Before long, the noise dropped completely and the boat began to drift gently across the water.
bɪˈfɔː lɒŋ, ðə nɔɪz drɒpt kəmˈpliːtli ænd ðə bəʊt bɪˈgæn tuː drɪft ˈʤɛntli əˈkrɒs ðə ˈwɔːtə.
任务配置：L0+L4
练习感悟：considerably 查了音标 为/kənˈsɪdərəbli/，但是原文中听起来读的是/kənˈsɪdrəbli/ 感觉略读了d后边的ə，还有一些地方感觉是读了连读，但是没有很清楚，放慢速听是会听清楚一些细节的发音，以后可以先慢速听几遍再开始练习！
