書本的朗讀語音很charming的磁性英音~~~大家可以好好學(xué)著模仿哦~~~??！
因為原著為美國人所寫,單詞采用美式拼法,不抄全文，也不用寫序號。答完一空換行繼續(xù)下一空作答。文中需聽寫單詞或詞組用[-No-]表示，句子用[---No---]表示。請邊聽寫邊理解文意，根據(jù)下面的TIPS訓(xùn)練聽寫。這樣可以提高聽力準確度，并為訓(xùn)練聽譯打下基礎(chǔ)哦~~~
TIPS聽寫訓(xùn)練點：單詞拼寫，時態(tài)，單復(fù)數(shù)，連讀，長難句（請邊聽邊用符號先記下內(nèi)容，然后自己回頭組織語句，最后校對，不要逐字逐句聽寫）
Hints:
loyalists
decamped
Bavaria
Count von Rumford
the Holy Roman Empire
Things might have been worse had it not been for a [-1-] improbable character named Count von Rumford, who, despite the grandeur of his title, began life in Woburn, Massachusetts, in 1753 as [-2-] Benjamin Thompson. Thompson was dashing and ambitious, “handsome in feature and figure,” occasionally [-3-] and exceedingly bright, but [-4-] by anything so inconveniencing as a scruple. [---5---] In the [-6-] year of 1776, facing arrest “for lukewarmness in the cause of liberty,” he abandoned his wife and child and fled just ahead of a mob of anti-Royalists armed with buckets of hot tar, bags of feathers, and an earnest desire to adorn him with both.
[---7---] While in Munich, he also designed and [-8-] the famous park known as the English Garden.

要不是出了個名叫倫福德伯爵的杰出人物，情況或許還要糟糕。盡管有個高貴的頭銜，他本是普普通通的本杰明?湯普森，1753年生于美國馬薩諸塞州的沃本。湯普森英俊漂亮，精力充沛，雄心勃勃，偶爾還非常勇敢，聰明過人，而又毫無顧忌。19歲那年，他娶了一位比他大14歲的有錢寡婦。但是，當殖民地爆發(fā)革命的時候，他愚蠢地站在保皇派一邊，一度還為他們做間諜工作。在災(zāi)難性的1776年，他面臨以"對自由事業(yè)不夠熱心"的罪名而被捕的危險，搶在一伙手提幾桶熱柏油和幾袋雞毛，打算用那兩樣?xùn)|西把他打扮一下的反?；逝煞肿忧懊?，他拋棄了老婆孩子倉皇出逃。
他先逃到英國，然后來到德國，在那里擔(dān)任巴伐利亞政府的軍事顧問。他深深打動了當局，1791年被授予"神圣羅馬帝國倫福德伯爵"的稱號。在慕尼黑期間，他還設(shè)計和籌建了那個名叫英國花園的著名公園。
