练习材料: Lesson 92 Asking for trouble 时长:97s
It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home.
ɪt mʌst hæv biːn əˈbaʊt tuː ɪn ðə ˈmɔːnɪŋ wɛn aɪ rɪˈtɜːnd həʊm.
I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the door-bell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window.
aɪ traɪd tuː weɪk ʌp maɪ waɪf baɪ ˈrɪŋɪŋ ðə dɔː-bɛl, bʌt ʃiː wɒz fɑːst əˈsliːp, səʊ aɪ gɒt ə ˈlædə frɒm ðə ʃɛd ɪn ðə ˈgɑːdn, pʊt ɪt əˈgɛnst ðə wɔːl, ænd bɪˈgæn ˈklaɪmɪŋ təˈwɔːdz ðə ˈbɛdru(ː)m ˈwɪndəʊ.
I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said,' I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.'
aɪ wɒz ˈɔːlməʊst ðeə wɛn ə sɑːˈkæstɪk vɔɪs bɪˈləʊ sɛd,' aɪ dəʊnt θɪŋk ðə ˈwɪndəʊz niːd ˈkliːnɪŋ æt ðɪs taɪm ɒv ðə naɪt.'
I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman.
aɪ lʊkt daʊn ænd ˈnɪəli fɛl ɒf ðə ˈlædə wɛn aɪ sɔː ə pəˈliːsmən.
I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'
aɪ ɪˈmiːdiətli rɪˈgrɛtɪd ˈɑːnsərɪŋ ɪn ðə weɪ aɪ dɪd, bʌt aɪ sɛd, aɪ ɪnˈʤɔɪ ˈkliːnɪŋ ˈwɪndəʊz æt naɪt.'
'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone.'Excuse my interrupting you.
səʊ duː aɪ,' ˈɑːnsəd ðə pəˈliːsmən ɪn ðə seɪm təʊn.ɪksˈkjuːs maɪ ˌɪntəˈrʌptɪŋ juː.
I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station ?'
aɪ heɪt tuː ˌɪntəˈrʌpt ə mæn wɛn hiːz ˈbɪzi ˈwɜːkɪŋ, bʌt wʊd juː maɪnd ˈkʌmɪŋ wɪð miː tuː ðə ˈsteɪʃən ?'
'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said.'You see, I've forgotten my key.'
wɛl, aɪd priˈfɜː tuː steɪ hɪə,' aɪ sɛd.juː siː, aɪv fəˈgɒtn maɪ kiː.'
'Your what ?' he called.
jɔː wɒt ?' hiː kɔːld.
'My key,' I shouted.'
maɪ kiː,' aɪ ˈʃaʊtɪd.'
Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
ˈfɔːʧnɪtli, ðə ˈʃaʊtɪŋ wəʊk ʌp maɪ waɪf huː ˈəʊpənd ðə ˈwɪndəʊ ʤʌst æz ðə pəˈliːsmən hæd ˈstɑːtɪd tuː klaɪm təˈwɔːdz miː.

知识笔记:
/w/
1)双唇收得很圆很小,嘴唇张开到刚好可以含住一根吸管的程度,并向前突出,上下齿分开贴住嘴唇。
2)舌后部向软腭抬起,但不要抵住。
3)气流从双唇间摩擦而过,同时声带需震动,发音短促,立刻向后面的元音滑动.
/w/是个半元音,和元音/uː/很相似,但元音可以单独成音可以延长,半元音不能单独成音,不可以延长,更不能在它后面附加元音。
sarcastic [sɑː(r)'kæstɪk]
adj. .讽刺的;嘲讽的;挖苦的showing or expressing sarcasm
And I hate to be so ironic and sarcastic about it but it's the truth.
我不想讽刺什么,但这是事实。
Excuse my interrupting you 请原谅我打扰您一下;请原谅我打断你一下
练习感悟:sarcastic [sɑː(r)'kæstɪk] 刚开始在听的时候自以为是的发了 [sə'kæstɪk], 后来查了音标,但是还是很不习惯,在一个词刚刚开始,元音发的很饱满,并且还放在句子里前面就是一个元音,中间隔着一个辅音的发音,以前没有注意过,但是口腔其实会打不开,在这里会卡顿,不习惯,继续练习吧
