L37-2：
The Westhaven Express
/ðə/ /Westhaven/ /ɪksˈprɛs/
Neither was I surprise when the train stopped at Widley, a
/ˈnaɪðə/ /wɒz/ /aɪ/ /səˈpraɪz/ /wɛn/ /ðə/ /treɪn/ /stɒpt/ /æt//Widley,/ /eɪ/
tiny station a few miles along the line. Even a mighty express
/ˈtaɪni/ /ˈsteɪʃən/ /ə/ /fjuː/ /maɪlz/ /əˈlɒŋ/ /ðə/ /laɪn./ /ˈiːvən/ /ə/ /ˈmaɪti/ /ɪksˈprɛs/
train can be held up by signals. But when
/treɪn/ /kæn/ /biː/ /hɛld/ /ʌp/ /baɪ/ /ˈsɪgnlz./ /bʌt/ /wɛn/
the train dawdled at station after station, I began to wonder,
/ðə/ /treɪn/ /ˈdɔːdld//æt/ /ˈsteɪʃən/ /ˈɑːftə/ /ˈsteɪʃən,/ /aɪ/ /bɪˈgæn/ /tuː/ /ˈwʌndə,/
It suddenly dawned on me that this express was not roaring
/ɪt/ /ˈsʌdnli//dɔːnd/ /ɒn/ /miː/ /ðæt/ /ðɪs/ /ɪksˈprɛs/ /wɒz/ /nɒt/ /ˈrɔːrɪŋ/
down the line at ninety miles an hour, but barely chugging
/daʊn/ /ðə/ /laɪn/ /æt/ /ˈnaɪnti/ /maɪlz/ /ən/ /ˈaʊə,/ /bʌt/ /ˈbeəli//ˈʧʌgɪŋ/
along at thirty. One hour and seventeen minutes passed and
/əˈlɒŋ/ /æt/ /ˈθɜːti./ /wʌn/ /ˈaʊər/ /ænd/ /ˈsɛvnˈtiːn/ /ˈmɪnɪts/ /pɑːst/ /ænd/
we had not even covered half the distance. I asked a
/wiː/ /hæd/ /nɒt/ /ˈiːvən/ /ˈkʌvəd/ /hɑːf/ /ðə/ /ˈdɪstəns./ /aɪ/ /ɑːskt/ /eɪ/
passenger if this was the Westhaven Express, but he had not
/ˈpæsɪnʤər/ /ɪf/ /ðɪs/ /wɒz/ /ðə/ /Westhaven/ /ɪksˈprɛs,/ /bʌt/ /hiː/ /hæd/ /nɒt/
even heard of it. I determined tolodge a complaint as soon
/ˈiːvən/ /hɜːd/ /ɒv/ /ɪt./ /aɪ/ /dɪˈtɜːmɪnd/ /tuː//lɒʤ/ /ə/ /kəmˈpleɪnt/ /æz/ /suːn/
as we arrived. Two hours later, I was talking angrily to the
/æz/ /wiː/ /əˈraɪvd./ /tuː/ /ˈaʊəz/ /ˈleɪtə,/ /aɪ/ /wɒz/ /ˈtɔːkɪŋ/ /ˈæŋgrɪli/ /tuː/ /ðiː/
station master at Westhaven. When he denied the train's
/ˈsteɪʃən/ /ˈmɑːstər/ /æt/ /Westhaven./ /wɛn/ /hiː/ /dɪˈnaɪd/ /ðə/ /treɪnz/
existence, I borrowed his copy of the timetable. There was a
/ɪgˈzɪstəns,/ /aɪ/ /ˈbɒrəʊd/ /hɪz/ /ˈkɒpi/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /ˈtaɪmˌteɪb(ə)l./ /ðeə/ /wɒz/ /eɪ/
note of triumph in my voice when I told him that it was there
/nəʊt/ /ɒv//ˈtraɪəmf/ /ɪn/ /maɪ/ /vɔɪs/ /wɛn/ /aɪ/ /təʊld/ /hɪm/ /ðæt/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /ðeə/
in black and white. Glancing at it briefly, he told me to look
/ɪn/ /blæk/ /ænd/ /waɪt.//ˈglɑːnsɪŋ/ /æt/ /ɪt/ /ˈbriːfli,/ /hiː/ /təʊld/ /miː/ /tuː/ /lʊk/
again. A tiny asterisk conducted me to a footnote at the
/əˈgɛn./ /ə/ /ˈtaɪni/ /ˈæstərɪsk//kənˈdʌktɪd/ /miː/ /tuː/ /ə/ /ˈfʊtnəʊt/ /æt/ /ðiː/
bottom of the page. It said: “This service has been
/ˈbɒtəm/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /peɪʤ./ /ɪt/ /sɛd:/ /“ðɪs/ /ˈsɜːvɪs/ /hæz/ /biːn/
suspended.”
/səsˈpɛndɪd.”/
