Lesson thirty-two Shopping made easy
People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before--especially in large shops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop-assistant was her daughter. The girl' gave' her mother a free dress once a week !

steal在第七課中也出現(xiàn)過偎窘，記錄一下。同時，重點記憶steal的名詞用法：to be for a sale at an unexpectedly?low price
A few hours earlier, someone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds. --Lesson 7 Too Late
當動詞用栈妆，還有一個意思，if a feeling steals over someone, they gradually begin to feel it.
steal over/ through/ into I felt a warm deep pleasure steal over me.
也可以說某個表情慢慢占據(jù)了你的臉龐：if an expression steals over someone's face, they gradually begin to have that expression on their face
steal over/across/into: A grim expression stole over his face.
今天學(xué)習(xí)的音標是Y-buzz siren
重點感受這強大的震動感栓始，gum ridge跟牙齒上的那種震顫的感覺约素。還有升調(diào)時，震動區(qū)域逐漸從gum ridge升到roof of the mouth竟贯，降調(diào)時，震動區(qū)域則再次下降到gum ridge跟牙齒逝钥。
把一個音拉長好多倍來練習(xí)屑那，
好好玩。
練習(xí)感悟：
1.今天有點不耐煩了艘款，怎么都到不了1分13秒持际，到最后越念越快，反省了一下哗咆，覺得不行蜘欲，于是就開始稍微滿慢一點，還是只能到1分鐘左右晌柬，最后錄了一個姥份，57s。Anyway, 不讀了,嗓子要冒煙了年碘。
2. 查detective澈歉，想知道跟police officer的區(qū)別，原來detective可以辦案盛泡、查案了闷祥，而police officer則是統(tǒng)稱，包括detectives，同時也包括巡警凯砍、交警箱硕、文員等等。查詞過程中悟衩，看到了福爾摩斯最經(jīng)典的那句話剧罩，想起中學(xué)時對福爾摩斯的著迷，超級開心座泳。When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
3.steal這個詞在第七課出現(xiàn)過惠昔，當時沒有查，現(xiàn)在看到挑势，就查一遍镇防，記住名詞用法，相當于bargain潮饱。查的時候想起來看Friends里頭来氧，Monica在跟Chandler訂婚后，沒想到Rachel跟Ross居然在門口KISSING,所以她很生氣地指責(zé)Rachel的行為是stealing her thunder, 至今印象深刻香拉。
4. 實踐大于理論啦扬，理論可以一知半解，練習(xí)不能有任何水分凫碌。practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice
5. Do not take anything for granted. 現(xiàn)在看到任何一個單詞都不敢說自己完全掌握了扑毡，其實心底覺得自己完全什么都沒有掌握。so, one step at a time,? it's the very thing I have been looking for.?
6.每天進步一點點盛险，今天晚上回家復(fù)述了瞄摊，太棒了，為自己點贊枉层。
