練習(xí)材料： Lesson 23-1 One man’s meat is another man’s poison 時(shí)長(zhǎng)：76s
People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten.
If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus a great delicacy.
You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat -- the normally accepted practice in many northern countries.
The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.
No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail.
Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world.
There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food.
My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are despised. As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own.
For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him.

這一部分是由他們DNA所決定，女人再怎樣厭惡或是輕視這個(gè)事實(shí)，都無法改變這個(gè)硬道理。
練習(xí)感悟：
?有些單詞看起來很熟悉啊~比如snail repulsive 都感覺自己認(rèn)識(shí)，但就是不知道什么意思，還是掌握的不夠牢固。despise 倒是知道什么意思? ，但自己從來沒有用過，在寫作的時(shí)候。所以還是不夠印象深刻啊~
讀起來的話原文的停頓很不好把握。遇到不熟悉的單詞總是比原文讀的慢一些，練習(xí)時(shí)長(zhǎng)都要比原來長(zhǎng)了。
