这段我一年以前练过，但是没敢把录下来的音频留着。今天再练一个半小时，终于录下了一个“一气呵成”的“作品”。全文读完，比Ann Cook的原读多用了0.455秒(31.897s vs 31.442s，主要是我换气比她花的时间长)。虽然含混之处甚多，但自己觉得已经不容易了。（"When I have tried my best, no one could laugh at me." Right?）

The throng of thermometers from the Thuringian Thermometer Folks arrived on Thursday. There were a thousand thirty-three thick thermometers, though, instead of a thousand thirty-six thin thermometers, which was three thermometers fewer than the thousand thirty-six we were expecting, not to mention that they were thick ones rather than thin ones. We thoroughly thought that we had ordered a thousand thirty-six, not a thousand thirty-three, thermometers, and asked the Thuringian Thermometer Folks to reship the thermometers; thin, not thick. They apologized for sending only a thousand thirty-three thermometers rather than a thousand thirtysix and promised to replace the thick thermometers with thin thermometers.
