🔥 二、词汇实战串讲（一段话记牢所有生词）

用一段英文将所有核心词自然串联，让它们在人物传记的叙事中彼此关联。加粗处为目标词，先通读英文，再看中文翻译，最后大声朗读三遍 👇

English Version

中文翻译

亚历山大·亨德森从苏格兰移居加拿大，离开了他的商人家庭以及他们拥有广袤土地和一座大庄园的产业。他在爱丁堡郊区上学，完成了会计学徒期，尽管他不喜欢商业生涯的前景。在蒙特利尔，他成为一名认真的业余摄影师，与诺特曼一起短途旅行，并用镁光照明弹作为人工光源做实验。诺特曼的风格是大胆的现实主义，而亨德森偏爱浪漫的影像。他的第一本书发行量有限，但它有助于评估他的早期作品。他开了一家工作室，提供肖像和风景摄影，后来放弃了肖像摄影，专注于人类的劳作，如农耕、木材贸易和汽船。人们购买照片作为旅行纪念品，他迎合市场需求，提供装裱、加框和制作相册等服务。他在国际上展览作品，并接受了铁路公司的委托，拍摄主要建筑物。他甚至需要管理一个部门，并广泛旅行，最后退休。他的玻璃底片如今保存在国家档案馆中。
