【跟着英剧练发音】A Histry Of Britain - 11 B

 文本：

A century later, Claudius, the club-foot stammerer¹, on the face of it, the most unlikely conqueror² of all, was determined³ to get it right. If it was going to be done at all, Claudius reckoned, it had to be done in such massive force that there was no chance of repeating the embarrassments⁴ of Julius. So Claudius's invasion force was immense, some 40,000 troops.
