这个练习出自Rachel’s English。请大家听听在发音,连读和节奏上有什么问题。Rachel’s comment to the original video is “The speech in this video is very slow and deliberate.” 应该比较适合练习。还试着想读出原文的confession语气,好象还是有差距。

Video Text:
There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it, I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis. My punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.
