知识笔记：

Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press.

/ˈmiːnˈwaɪl/, /ði/ /ˈɛdɪtə/ /wɒz/ /ˈgɛtɪŋ/ /ɪmˈpeɪʃənt/, /fɔː/ /ðə/ /ˌmægəˈziːn/ /wʊd/ /suːn/ /gəʊ/ /tuː/ /prɛs/.

He sent the journalist two more faxes, but received no reply.

/hiː/ /sɛnt/ /ðə/ /ˈʤɜːnəlɪst/ /tuː/ /mɔː/ /ˈfæksɪz/, /bʌt/ /rɪˈsiːvd/ /nəʊ/ /rɪˈplaɪ/.

He sent yet another fax informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired.

/hiː/ /sɛnt/ /jɛt/ /əˈnʌðə/ /fæks/ /ɪnˈfɔːmɪŋ/ /ðə/ /ˈʤɜːnəlɪst/ /ðæt/ /ɪf/ /hiː/ /dɪd/ /nɒt/ /rɪˈplaɪ/ /suːn/ /hiː/ /wʊd/ /biː/ /ˈfaɪəd/.

When the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written.

/wɛn/ /ðə/ /ˈʤɜːnəlɪst/ /əˈgɛn/ /feɪld/ /tuː/ /rɪˈplaɪ/, /ði/ /ˈɛdɪtə/ /rɪˈlʌktəntli/ /ˈpʌblɪʃt/ /ði/ /ˈɑːtɪkl/ /æz/ /ɪt/ /hæd/ /əˈrɪʤɪnəli/ /biːn/ /ˈrɪtn/.

A week later, the editor at last received a fax from the journalist.

/ə/ /wiːk/ /ˈleɪtə/, /ði/ /ˈɛdɪtər/ /æt/ /lɑːst/ /rɪˈsiːvd/ /ə/ /fæks/ /frɒm/ /ðə/ /ˈʤɜːnəlɪst/.

Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well.

/nɒt/ /ˈəʊnli/ /hæd/ /ðə/ /pʊə/ /mæn/ /biːn/ /əˈrɛstɪd/, /bʌt/ /hiː/ /hæd/ /biːn/ /sɛnt/ /tuː/ /ˈprɪzn/ /æz/ /wɛl/.

However, he had at last been allowed to send a fax in which he informed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1,084 steps leading to the 15-foot wall which surrounded the president's palace.

/haʊˈɛvə/, /hiː/ /hæd/ /æt/ /lɑːst/ /biːn/ /əˈlaʊd/ /tuː/ /sɛnd/ /ə/ /fæks/ /ɪn/ /wɪʧ/ /hiː/ /ɪnˈfɔːmd/ /ði/ /ˈɛdɪtə/ /ðæt/ /hiː/ /hæd/ /biːn/ /əˈrɛstɪd/ /waɪl/ /ˈkaʊntɪŋ/ /ðiː/ 1,084 /stɛps/ /ˈliːdɪŋ/ /tuː/ /ðiː/ 15-/fʊt/ /wɔːl/ /wɪʧ/ /səˈraʊndɪd/ /ðə/ /ˈprɛzɪdənts/ /ˈpælɪs/.

练习感悟：

每一天都不忘朗读英语，隔一天不忘发表笔记，按部就班地做好每一件计划的事。量变产生质变，完成好每一天的量，持续积累，就等“变”的那一刻。

特殊时期，不出门。在家看看书。不得不出门也戴着口罩。希望大家齐心协力，各司其职，尽快突破难关。致敬那些正在奋战的人们！
