《新版新概念英语第二册(英音)Lesson (05)》歌词

[00:00:00] --- lesson 5 no wrong numbers

[00:00:06] --- first listen and then answer the question.

[00:00:12] --- what does 'no wrong numbers' mean?

[00:00:20] mr.james scott has a garage in silbury and now he has just bought another garage in pinhurst.

[00:00:32] pinhurst is only five miles from silbury,

[00:00:36] but mr.scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage,

[00:00:42] so he has just bought twelve pigeons.

[00:00:47] yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from pinhurst to silbury.

[00:00:53] the bird covered the distance in three minutes.

[00:00:58] up to now, mr.scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other.

[00:01:08] in this way, he has begun his own private 'telephone' service.
