Lesson 38 Everything except the weather 时长：73s
My old friend, Harrison,had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England.
maɪ əʊld frɛnd, ˈhærɪs(ə)n,hæd lɪvd ɪn ðə ˌmɛdɪtəˈreɪnjən fə ˈmɛni jɪəz bɪˈfɔː hi rɪˈtɜːnd tʊ ˈɪŋglənd.
He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country.
hi ˈɒf(ə)n driːmd əv rɪˈtaɪərɪŋ ɪn ˈɪŋglənd ənd plænd tə ˈsɛtl daʊn ɪn ðə ˈkʌntri.
He had no sooner returned and then he bought a house and went to live there.
hi hæd nəʊ ˈsuːnə rɪˈtɜːnd ðɛn hi bɔːt ə haʊs tə lɪv ðeə.
Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer ,it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold.
ˈɔːlməʊst ɪˈmiːdiətli hi bɪˈgæn tə kəmˈpleɪn əˈbaʊt ðə ˈwɛðə, fər ˈiːvən ðəʊ ɪt wəz stɪl ˈsʌmə ,ɪt reɪnd kənˈtɪnjʊəli ənd ɪt wəzˈbɪtəli kəʊld.
After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock.
ˈɑːftə səʊ ˈmɛni jɪəz əv ˈsʌnʃaɪn, ˈhærɪs(ə)n gɒt ə ʃɒk.
He acted as if he had never lived in England before.
hi ˈæktɪd əz ɪf hi hæd ˈnɛvə lɪvd ɪn ˈɪŋglənd bɪˈfɔː.
In the end, it was more than he could bear.
ɪn ði ɛnd, ɪt wəz mɔː ðən hi kəd beə.
He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country.
hi hæd ˈhɑːdli tə hæv taɪm tə ˈsɛtl daʊn wɛn hi səʊld ðə haʊs ənd lɛft ðə ˈkʌntri.
The dream he had had for so many years ended there.
ðə driːm hi hæd hæd fə səʊ ˈmɛni jɪəz ˈɛndɪd ðeə.
Harrison have thought of everything except the weather.
ˈhærɪs(ə)n hæv θɔːt əv ˈɛvrɪθɪŋ ɪkˈsɛpt ðə ˈwɛðə.
