Lesson58 A blessing in disguise?

The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'.

ðəˈtaɪniˈvɪlɪʤɒvFrinleyɪzsɛdtuːpəˈzɛsəkɜːsttriː. 

Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors

to Frinley has now increased.

bɪˈkɒzðətriːwɒzˈmɛnʃəndɪnəˈnjuːzˌpeɪpə, ðəˈnʌmbərɒvˈvɪzɪtəztuːFrinleyhæznaʊɪnˈkriːst.

The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago, but it is only in

recent years that it has gained an evil reputation.

ðətriːwɒzˈplɑːntɪdnɪəðəʧɜːʧˈfɪftijɪəzəˈgəʊ, bʌtɪtɪzˈəʊnliɪnˈriːsntjɪəzðætɪthæzgeɪndənˈiːvlˌrɛpju(ː)ˈteɪʃən. 

It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if

he picks a leaf, he will die.

ɪtɪzsɛdðætɪfˈɛnɪwʌnˈtʌʧɪzðətriː, hiːwɪlhævbædlʌk; ɪfhiːpɪksəliːf, hiːwɪldaɪ. 

Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of

victims.

ˈmɛniˈvɪlɪʤəzbɪˈliːvðætðətriːhæzɔːlˈrɛdikleɪmdəˈnʌmbərɒvˈvɪktɪmz. 

The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has

refused.

ðəˈvɪkəhæzbiːnɑːskttuːhævðətriːkʌtdaʊn, bʌtsəʊfɑːhiːhæzˌriːˈfjuːzd. 

He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income, as

tourists have been coming from all parts of the country to see it.

hiːhæzˈpɔɪntɪdaʊtðætðətriːɪzəˈjuːsfʊlsɔːsɒvˈɪnkʌm, æzˈtʊərɪstshævbiːnˈkʌmɪŋfrɒmɔːlpɑːtsɒvðəˈkʌntrituːsiːɪt. 

In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking

leaves and cutting their names on the tree-trunk.

ɪnspaɪtɒvɔːlðæthæzbiːnsɛd, ðəˈtʊərɪstshævbiːnˈpɪkɪŋliːvzændˈkʌtɪŋðeəneɪmzɒnðətriː-trʌŋk. 

So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!

səʊfɑː, nɒtwʌnɒvðɛmhæzbiːnstrʌkdaʊnbaɪˈsʌdndɛθ!

练习感悟：

这篇里有很多音标是……v v……的，要注意连读，还有很多s发z的音，我读错了很多，因为身体原因没有多加较劲，这篇打个记号，很适合练习z音和v音。

当天没有精力开电脑，没有做到每句话都按时长练习，没有按时发总结。
