This is Echo陪你练口语，I’m 昊仔。上周中断的五十州专题又回来了，本期第四弹我们将从榜单的第35位开始，为了让小伙伴们更深度地吸收内容，这一期我和Angel只节选了两个州进行介绍，并对原文的生词和表达进行拆分，希望能让大家学到地道的表达哟~So here we go!
35. Pennsylvania [ˌpensəl'veɪnjə] 宾夕法尼亚州
It's got hills and Amish buggies and pleasant forests that in the fall molt into spectacular golds and yellows and oranges. But for Pennsylvania's size, it lacks that "wow" factor. It's a densely populated eastern state minus the redeeming coastline. It's got a nice piece of the Appalachians, but not so impressive a piece as its neighbors. And, yes, you can ski the Poconos if you really don't feel up to going somewhere better. But like so many of the features here, you'd trade up, given the option.
生词与表达
1.Amish['ɑmɪʃ] 阿们宗派（基督教中的保守派）
2.Buggy[ˈbʌɡi] 婴儿车，童车; 旧汽车; 轻便马车
3.Molt[molt] （鸟类）换羽，脱毛
4. Redeeming[rɪ'dimɪŋ] 补偿的，弥补的
5. Appalachians[ˌæpə'leɪtʃɪrn] 阿巴拉契亚山脉
6. trade up买更高档的东西
宾州其实哪哪都好，当然由于这个排名是⾃然风光的排名，不过不看⾃然的话，宾州最值得去就是著名的费城Philadelphia了，作为美国第五⼤城市，⼈⼝仅次于纽约、洛杉矶、芝加哥和休斯顿。宾州也是全美最⼤的⼤学城（ college town）之⼀，拥有许多⾼等学府，⽐如Ivy League 常春藤盟校之⼀的University of Pennsylvania 宾⼣法尼亚⼤学
34. Missouri [mɪ'zʊrɪ] 密苏里州
It's tough for Missouri, which borders five states that have already appeared on the bowels of this list, to distinguish itself. The great sprawling center of the state is a less agriculturally fatigued transition between Illinois and Kansas. But that southern third or so is a delight. The ruddy hills of the Lake of the Ozarks area are terrific for winding drives and trout-fishing trips. Further east, Missourians enjoy their forests and rivers as playgrounds. The curious rocky outcroppings around the Johnson Shut-Ins State Park swimming holes and the lazy tube-floats on the Current River are exemplars. They're almost spookily litter-free, evidence that Missourians appreciate what they have.
生词与表达
on the bowels [ˈbaʊəl]肠子 of 在…的底部/深处
sprawling[ˈsprɔlɪŋ] 蔓延的; 杂乱无序伸展的
fatigued[fə'tigd] 疲乏的
ruddy[ˈrʌdi] 红润的，血色好的
trout[traʊt] 鳟鱼
rocky[ˈrɑki] 多岩石的; 坚如磐石的，坚硬的
exemplar[ɪɡˈzɛmˌplɑr, -plɚ] 模范；榜样
spookily['spu:kili] 不可思议地；稍微有些神经质地
litter-free一尘不染的
密苏里州也是蛮惨的，比邻的五个州已经在本排名的榜底出现过了，毕竟这一片都是美帝的“ 农村”…州内有一座纪念碑式的建筑，Gateway Arch 圣路易斯拱门，高630英尺（192 ），是世界上最高的拱形建筑，位于密西西比河河畔，被誉为通往美国西部的 。Kansas City 堪萨斯 是密苏里州最大城市，第二大城市为St. Louis圣路易斯，2017年US-news全美大学本科排名19位的Washington University in St. Louis（也就是常说的华盛顿大学）就在这 。美国大学有很多campus tour，去旅游的朋友不妨去美国大学的校园看看。
End of today. See you next time & Have a nice day!
