练习材料：lesson thirty eight everything expect the weather
My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England. He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years ended there. Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.

译文：我的老朋友哈里斯再回到英国之前，曾多年居住在地中海地区。过去他常幻想退休后到英国，并计划在乡间安顿下来。他刚一回到英国，便买下了一幢房子，住了进去。但紧接着他就开始抱怨那里的天气了。因为即使仍是夏季，但雨总是下个不停，而且常常冷得厉害。在阳光下生活了那么多年的哈里森对此感到惊奇。他的举动就好像他从未在英国生活过一样。最后他再也忍受不住，还没等他安顿下来就卖掉了房子，离开了这个国家。他多年的幻想在此破灭。哈里森把每件事都考虑到了，唯独没想到天气。

练习感悟：
1.总结了自己今天所查的同一个单词在英音和美音中的音标之不同：
自己感觉英音发音较紧张，美音发音较松弛，这可能和他们的性格相关。
2.朗读每篇文章前都会查阅它们的音标，现在看到一些查过的单词时，大脑里会自然显现相应的音标，随着时间的积累，可能某一天看到某篇文章时，大脑会自动将其转化成音标，“唯眼熟尔”。持续行动，期待这一天！
