Lesson28(2)
Five pounds too dear
/faɪv/ /paʊndz/ /tuː/ /dɪə/
The next man to approach me was selling expensive pens
/ðə/ /nɛkst/ /mæn/ /tuː/ /əˈprəʊʧ/ /miː/ /wɒz/ /ˈsɛlɪŋ/ /ɪksˈpɛnsɪv/ /pɛnz/
and watches. I examined one of the pens closely. It certainly
/ænd/ /ˈwɒʧɪz./ /aɪ/ /ɪgˈzæmɪnd/ /wʌn/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /pɛnz/ /ˈkləʊsli./ /ɪt/ /ˈsɜːtnli/
looked genuine. At the base of the goldcap, the words
/lʊkt/ /ˈʤɛnjʊɪn./ /æt/ /ðə/ /beɪs/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /gəʊld/ /ˈkæp,/ /ðə/ /wɜːdz/ /
'made in the U.S.A.' had been neatly inscribed. The man said
/meɪd/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /juː.ɛs.eɪ.'/ /hæd/ /biːn/ /ˈniːtli/ /ɪnˈskraɪbd./ /ðə/ /mæn/ /sɛd/
that the pen was worth $50, but as a special favour, he
/ðæt/ /ðə/ /pɛn/ /wɒz/ /wɜːθ/ /$50,/ /bʌt/ /æz/ /ə/ /ˈspɛʃəl/ /ˈfeɪvə,/ /hiː/
would let me have it for $30. I shook my head and held up a
/wʊd/ /lɛt/ /miː/ /hæv/ /ɪt/ /fɔː/ /$30./ /aɪ/ /ʃʊk/ /maɪ/ /hɛd/ /ænd/ /hɛld/ /ʌp/ /eɪ/
finger indicating that I was willing to pay $5.Gesticulating
/ˈfɪŋgər/ /ˈɪndɪkeɪtɪŋ/ /ðæt/ /aɪ/ /wɒz/ /ˈwɪlɪŋ/ /tuː/ /peɪ/ /$5./ /ʤɛsˈtɪkjʊleɪtɪŋ/
wildly, the man acted as if he found my offer outrageous, but
/ˈwaɪldli,/ /ðə/ /mæn/ /ˈæktɪd/ /æz/ /ɪf/ /hiː/ /faʊnd/ /maɪ/ /ˈɒfər/ /aʊtˈreɪʤəs,/ /bʌt/
he eventually reduced the price to
/hiː/ /ɪˈvɛnʧəli/ /rɪˈdjuːst/ /ðə/ /praɪs/ /tuː/
$10.Shrugging my shoulders, I began to walk away when, a
/$10./ /ˈʃrʌgɪŋ/ /maɪ/ /ˈʃəʊldəz,/ /aɪ/ /bɪˈgæn/ /tuː/ /wɔːk/ /əˈweɪ/ /wɛn,/ /eɪ/
moment later, he ran after me and thrust the pen into my
/ˈməʊmənt/ /ˈleɪtə,/ /hiː/ /ræn/ /ˈɑːftə/ /miː/ /ænd/ /θrʌst/ /ðə/ /pɛn/ /ˈɪntuː/ /maɪ/
hands. Though he kept throwing up his arms in despair, he
/hændz./ /ðəʊ/ /hiː/ /kɛpt/ /ˈθrəʊɪŋ/ /ʌp/ /hɪz/ /ɑːmz/ /ɪn/ /dɪsˈpeə,/ /hiː/
readily accepted the $5 I gave him. I felt especially pleased
/ˈrɛdɪli/ /əkˈsɛptɪd/ /ðiː/ /$5/ /aɪ/ /geɪv/ /hɪm./ /aɪ/ /fɛlt/ /ɪsˈpɛʃəli/ /pliːzd/
with my wonderful bargain--until I got back to the ship. No
/wɪð/ /maɪ/ /ˈwʌndəfʊl/ /ˈbɑːgɪn--ənˈtɪl/ /aɪ/ /gɒt/ /bæk/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /ʃɪp./ /nəʊ/
matter how hard I tried, it was impossible to fill this
/ˈmætə/ /haʊ/ /hɑːd/ /aɪ/ /traɪd,/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /ɪmˈpɒsəbl/ /tuː/ /fɪl/ /ðɪs/
beautiful pen with ink and to this day it has never written a
/ˈbjuːtəfʊl/ /pɛn/ /wɪð/ /ɪŋk/ /ænd/ /tuː/ /ðɪs/ /deɪ/ /ɪt/ /hæz/ /ˈnɛvə/ /ˈrɪtn/ /eɪ/
single word!
