知识笔记:
John had very good day and put his wallet containing $3,000 into the microwave oven for safekeeping.
ʤɒn hæd ˈvɛri gʊd deɪ ænd pʊt hɪz ˈwɒlɪt kənˈteɪnɪŋ $3,000 ˈɪntuː ðə ˈmaɪkrəʊweɪv ˈʌvn fɔː safekeeping.
Then he and Jane went horse-riding.
ðɛn hiː ænd ʤeɪn wɛnt hɔːs-ˈraɪdɪŋ.
When they got home, Jane cooked their dinner in the microwave oven and without realizing it, cooked her fiancé's wallet as well.
wɛn ðeɪ gɒt həʊm, ʤeɪn kʊkt ðeə ˈdɪnər ɪn ðə ˈmaɪkrəʊweɪv ˈʌvn ænd wɪˈðaʊt ˈrɪəlaɪzɪŋ ɪt, kʊkt hɜː fiancés ˈwɒlɪt æz wɛl.
Imagine their dismay when they found a beautifully-cooked wallet and notes turned to ash!
ɪˈmæʤɪn ðeə dɪsˈmeɪ wɛn ðeɪ faʊnd ə ˈbjuːtəfʊli-kʊkt ˈwɒlɪt ænd nəʊts tɜːnd tuː æʃ!
John went to see his bank manager who sent the remains of wallet and the money to the special department of the Bank of England in Newcastle:the Mutilate Ladies!
ʤɒn wɛnt tuː siː hɪz bæŋk ˈmænɪʤə huː sɛnt ðə rɪˈmeɪnz ɒv ˈwɒlɪt ænd ðə ˈmʌni tuː ðə ˈspɛʃəl dɪˈpɑːtmənt ɒv ðə bæŋk ɒv ˈɪŋglənd ɪn ˈnjuːˌkɑːs(ə)l: ðə ˈmjuːtɪleɪt ˈleɪdɪz!
They examined the remains and John got all his money back.
ðeɪ ɪgˈzæmɪnd ðə rɪˈmeɪnz ænd ʤɒn gɒt ɔːl hɪz ˈmʌni bæk.
“So long as there's something to identify, we will give people their money back,” said a spokeswoman for the Bank. “Last year, we paid $1.5m on 21,000 claims.”
səʊ lɒŋ æz ðeəz ˈsʌmθɪŋ tuː aɪˈdɛntɪfaɪ, wiː wɪl gɪv ˈpiːpl ðeə ˈmʌni bæk,' sɛd ə ˈspəʊksˌwʊmən fɔː ðə bæŋk. lɑːst jɪə, wiː peɪd $1.5ɛm ɒn 21,000 kleɪmz.'
