Lesson 55 Not a gold mine

原歌词

[00:01.040]	--- Lesson 55 Not a gold mine
[00:05.960]	--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:11.520]	--- What did the team find?
[00:16.080]	Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently.
[00:21.360]	A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground.
[00:32.640]	The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold.
[00:42.320]	The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it.
[00:49.160]	Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure.
[00:57.960]	The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground.
[01:08.680]	Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep.
[01:15.040]	They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless.
[01:20.840]	The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk.
[01:29.320]	In spite of this, many people are confident that'The Revealer'may reveal something of value fairly soon.
[01:40.160]	--- end

[00:01.040]	并非金矿
[00:05.960]	^听录音，然后回答以下问题。
[00:11.520]
[00:16.080]	^最近，找到失踪宝藏的梦想差一点儿变成现实。
[00:21.360]	^一种叫“探宝器”的新机器已经发明出来，并被人们用来探测地下埋藏的金子。
[00:32.640]	^在靠近海边的一个据说过去海盗常在里面藏金子的岩洞里，这种机器被派上了用场。
[00:42.320]	^海盗们过去常把金子埋藏在那个洞里，可后来却没能取走。
[00:49.160]	^一支用这种新机器装备起来的探宝队进入了这个岩洞，希望找到埋藏着的金子。
[00:57.960]	^当这个队的队长正在检查洞口附近的土壤时，那台机器显示出它的下面埋有金子。
[01:08.680]	^队员们异常激动，就地挖了一个两英尺深的坑，
[01:15.040]	^但最后找到的是一枚几乎一钱不值的小金币。
[01:20.840]	^队员们接着又把整个洞彻底搜寻了一遍，但除了一只空铁皮箱外什么也没找到。
[01:29.320]	^尽管如此，很多人仍然相信“探宝器”很快就会探出值钱的东西来。
