?L 32 [1]A?lost?ship
The salvage operation had been a complete failure. The small ship, Elkor, which had been searching the Barents Sea for weeks, was on its way home. A radio message from the mainland had been received by the ship's captain instructing him to give up the search. The captain knew that another attempt would be made later, for the sunken ship he was trying to find had been carrying a precious cargo of gold bullion. Despite the message, the captain of the Elkor decided to try once more. The sea bed was scoured with powerful nets and there was tremendous excitement on board when a chest was raised from the bottom. Though the crew were at first under the impression that the lost ship had been found, the contents of the chest proved them wrong. What they had in fact found was a ship which had been sunk many years before. The chest contained the personal belongings of a seaman, Alan Fielding. There were books, clothing and photographs, together with letters which the seaman had once received from his wife.

練習(xí)感悟：
聽(tīng)原音的時(shí)候聽(tīng)到there was a tremendous excitement on board，覺(jué)得奇怪，為什么會(huì)加一個(gè)a，看了下文本也沒(méi)有a；查了下詞典，excitement居然都可數(shù)跟不可數(shù)兩種用法。作為可數(shù)時(shí)出牧，表示令人興奮的事情~~
[C] (formal) something that you find exciting
? 令人激動(dòng)(或興奮)的事:
??The new job was not without its excitements.
??這個(gè)新工作并非枯燥無(wú)味。
所以在這個(gè)句子中歇盼，應(yīng)該是作為不可數(shù)來(lái)用的舔痕，不能加a，因?yàn)槭莂 feeling of being excited, 不是an event豹缀；那到底是我聽(tīng)錯(cuò)了還是原文讀錯(cuò)了呢伯复？
