這次還沒聽原讀。。不知道怎麽的,不能聽第二遍。不過第一遍聽的就是一下子覺得不是很美音的地方,屬於雞蛋裏挑骨頭。。:)我直到這周六開始歇班,然後一定跟著你讀。謝謝文青!!!:)
Lesson 1: My Toe is Killing(這個聽著有點像/e/的發音了,有點過了) Me!
Doctor: Sorry you waited so long, Paul; I’ve been tied up(這個音嘴張得有點大了,聽著像/啊/的音,以前似乎給你說過這個音。) all
afternoon.What seems to be the problem this time?
Paul: Doc,my toe’s killingme. I think it’s broken.
Doctor: Hmm. . . Let’s have a look.Oh, yeah, that’s a beauty.
You really did a number on that toe.How’d it happen?
Paul: I was helping my brother move. I dropped a desk on my foot.
Doctor: Well, that’s a surefire way to break some bones. Paul,(嘴巴應該噘出來,似乎張得不夠圓,嘴巴再收一收),
didn’t I see you last year for some sprained fingers?
Paul: Yeah . . . I was trying to fix the toilet and got my hand
stuck. I yanked it out, and hurt myself. I’mstill trying to
live that one down.
Doctor: Well, Mr. Fix-it, you’ve really outdone yourself this time.
You won’t be walking with this foot for eight weeks.
Paul: That’s impossible! I have a camping trip scheduled for
six weeks from now. Can’t it be healed by then?
Doctor: That’s a tall order(仔細聽聽字典,你這個似乎嘴巴張得大了。), Paul . . . But I suppose it’s not out of
the question.With a lot of rest now . . . and intensive
physical therapy, you just may be back in the saddle
again in six weeks. But the therapy requires a lot of
work, and time . . . and specifically, following the
doctor’s orders . . . Can you handle that?
Paul: Piece of cake!
Doctor: But listen, even if you are walking by then, you’ve got
to take it easy during the trip.No climbing trees or
jumping across streams or anything. You really need
to baby this leg for a while!
Paul: Sure thing.
Doctor: Well, Paul . . . let’s get you bandaged up.We’ll have you
hobbling out of here in no time.Now . . . I want you to
keep an eye on the swelling in the rest of the leg and
foot. And get in touch with Dr. Phillips . . . She’s the
physical therapist.
Paul: Okay,Doc. Should I drop by here another day?
Doctor: Yes.We’re going to want to follow up on this in about
two weeks.
Paul: I’ll schedule an appointment with the receptionist.
Thanks. Bye,Doc.
Doctor: You’re welcome. And Paul, take it easy, would you?
Paul: Yes, I will. I promise.
