L48-1:
The silent village
/ðə/ /ˈsaɪlənt/ /ˈvɪlɪʤ/
In this much-travelled world, there are still thousands of
/ɪn/ /ðɪs/ /mʌʧ-ˈtrævld/ /wɜːld,/ /ðeər/ /ɑː/ /stɪl/ /ˈθaʊzəndz/ /ɒv/
places which are inaccessible to tourists. We always assume
/ˈpleɪsɪz/ /wɪʧ/ /ɑːr/ /ˌɪnækˈsɛsəbl/ /tuː/ /ˈtʊərɪsts./ /wiː/ /ˈɔːlweɪz/ /əˈsjuːm/
that villagers in remote places are friendly and hospitable.
/ðæt/ /ˈvɪlɪʤəz/ /ɪn/ /rɪˈməʊt/ /ˈpleɪsɪz/ /ɑː/ /ˈfrɛndli/ /ænd//ˈhɒspɪtəbl./
But people who are cut off not only from foreign tourists, but
/bʌt/ /ˈpiːpl/ /huː/ /ɑː/ /kʌt/ /ɒf/ /nɒt/ /ˈəʊnli/ /frɒm/ /ˈfɒrɪn/ /ˈtʊərɪsts,/ /bʌt/
even from their own countrymen can be hostile to travellers.
/ˈiːvən/ /frɒm/ /ðeər/ /əʊn/ /ˈkʌntrɪmən/ /kæn/ /biː/ /ˈhɒstaɪl//tuː/ /ˈtræv(ə)ləz./
Visits to really remote villages are seldom enjoyable -- as my
/ˈvɪzɪts/ /tuː/ /ˈrɪəli/ /rɪˈməʊt/ /ˈvɪlɪʤɪz/ /ɑː/ /ˈsɛldəm/ /ɪnˈʤɔɪəbl/ /--/ /æz/ /maɪ/
wife and I discovered during a tour through the Balkans. We
/waɪf/ /ænd/ /aɪ/ /dɪsˈkʌvəd/ /ˈdjʊərɪŋ/ /ə/ /tʊə/ /θruː/ /ðə/ /ˈbɔːlkənz.//wiː/
had spent several days in a small town and visited a number
/hæd/ /spɛnt/ /ˈsɛvrəl/ /deɪz/ /ɪn/ /ə/ /smɔːl/ /taʊn/ /ænd/ /ˈvɪzɪtɪd/ /ə/ /ˈnʌmbə/
of old churches in the vicinity. These attracted many visitors,
/ɒv/ /əʊld/ /ˈʧɜːʧɪz/ /ɪn/ /ðə//vɪˈsɪnɪti./ /ðiːz/ /əˈtræktɪd/ /ˈmɛni/ /ˈvɪzɪtəz,/
for they were not only of great architectural interest, but
/fɔː/ /ðeɪ/ /wɜː/ /nɒt/ /ˈəʊnli/ /ɒv/ /greɪt/ /ˌɑːkɪˈtɛkʧərəl/ /ˈɪntrɪst,/ /bʌt/
contained a large number of beautifully preserved frescoes
/kənˈteɪnd/ /ə/ /lɑːʤ/ /ˈnʌmbər/ /ɒv/ /ˈbjuːtəfʊli/ /prɪˈzɜːvd//ˈfrɛskəʊz/
as well. On the day before our departure, several bus loads
/æz/ /wɛl./ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /deɪ/ /bɪˈfɔːr/ /ˈaʊə/ /dɪˈpɑːʧə,/ /ˈsɛvrəl/ /bʌs/ /ləʊdz/
of tourists descended on the town. This was more than we
/ɒv/ /ˈtʊərɪsts/ /dɪˈsɛndɪd/ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /taʊn./ /ðɪs/ /wɒz/ /mɔː/ /ðæn/ /wiː/
could bear, so we decided to spend our last day exploring
/kʊd/ /beə,/ /səʊ/ /wiː/ /dɪˈsaɪdɪd/ /tuː/ /spɛnd/ /ˈaʊə/ /lɑːst/ /deɪ/ /ɪksˈplɔːrɪŋ/
the countryside.
