[VOA听写] 2008-04-12
欢迎来到“杂乱的书桌”每天准时为你带来的VOA听写，本期的慢速VOA是美国人上高中的新闻第二部分，标准VOA则是关于安吉丽娜朱莉的新闻的第一部分。还犹豫什么，赶紧和Hugh一起加入到学习英语，锻炼听写的队伍中来吧！
今天稍微改变了一下文章发表的方式。以前总是把修改好了的原文贴出来，这样倒不如把错误贴出来更好，免得给大家造成Hugh总是听对的假象，哈哈！所以从今天开始，尽管贴出来的仍然是原文，不过把错误用红色标注出来了，大家也可以了解到Hugh是什么水平。同样的，这样子更有利于Hugh自己观察进步，什么时候红色都没有了，就是perfect了！
不知道大家对于这样的改变有什么想法呢？个人觉得更真实可信了！

题目: New Study Adds to Evidence That Too Many Americans Do Not Finish High School (2/2)
专有名词: American’s Promise Alliance, Colin Powell, Margaret Spellings
原文
Other studies have put the national graduation rate at about seventy percent. But experts agree that too many students are not completing high school. They estimate the number at more than one million each year.
The report was prepared for America’s Promise Alliance. The private group aims to help children receive services they need to succeed. General Colin Powell was chairman of America’s Promise Alliance when it was formed in nineteen ninety-seven. He attended the press conference Tuesday where the report was released. He said studies have shown that the United States must do more to educate the leaders and work force of the future.
Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings also spoke. She said the government will propose that states use the same methods when reporting graduation rates. Alliance officials also announced the start of a nationwide campaign to improve graduation rates. It is to include a series of meetings to be held in every state over the next two years. The meetings will bring together elected leaders, business owners, students, parents and education officials. They will develop plans to increase the number of Americans who finish high school.

题目: Angelina Jolie Discusses Plight of Iraqi Children (1/2)
专有名词: Jolie, David Petraeus, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, George Rupp
原文
Jolie again used her star power to speak out for children in war zones, on the day the top U S military commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus testified before congressional committees. Asked about her view of how the surge of additional American troops has impacted Iraqi children, Jolie said military action must go hand in hand with aid.
“I would think even Petraeus would agree that a surge does not just mean it works if you get numbers of violence down. It works if humanitarian aid is starting to increase and changes are able to be made. ”
Half of the four million Iraqis forced out of their homes are internally displaced. Tens of thousands have fled to Syria and Jordan, and much smaller numbers of Iraqi refugees are in Egypt and Lebanon. The president of the International Rescue Committee, George Rupp, said he had met with many Iraqi families seeking shelter in Syria and Jordan. He said despite the tremendous efforts of those two countries, the situation for the refugees is deplorable.

Hugh 回复了四月 14th, 2008:
sorry for the late reply. I guess you always in your office, so no chinese input method, haha:-)
I just login to HJBBS.com every morning, where the administer there update the VOA mp3 file everyday.
1. Using the HJ player, u can easily compare your script with the standard one. But I can’t use it to set the breakpoint and repeat with firefox in Ubuntu. I use gvim to do the dictation.
2. Then I check the mistakes, listen to the audio again, update my own script, and post it with the vimblog plugin.
Am I clear?
