A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas.
ə mən hu hæd ˈbroʊkən hɪz raɪt lɛg wʌz ˈteɪkən tu ˈhɑˌspɪtəl ə fju wiks bɪˈfɔr ˈkrɪsməs.
From the moment he arrived there, he kept on pestering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home.
frʌm ðə ˈmoʊmənt hi əˈraɪvd ðɛr, hi kɛpt ɑn ˈpɛstərɪŋ hɪz ˈdɑktər tu tɛl hɪm wɛn hi wʊd bi ˈeɪbəl tu goʊ hoʊm.
He dreaded having to spend Christmas in hospital.
hi ˈdrɛdɪd ˈhævɪŋ tu spɛnd ˈkrɪsməs ɪn ˈhɑˌspɪtəl.
Though the doctor did his best, the patient's recovery was slow.
ðoʊ ðə ˈdɑktər dɪd hɪz bɛst, ðə ˈpeɪʃənts rɪˈkʌvri wʌz sloʊ.
On Christmas Day, the man still had his right leg in plaster.
ɑn ˈkrɪsməs deɪ, ðə mən stɪl hæd hɪz raɪt lɛg ɪn ˈplæstər.
He spent a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing.
hi spɛnt ə ˈmɪzərəbəl deɪ ɪn bɛd ˈθɪŋkɪŋ ʌv ɔl ðə fʌn hi wʌz ˈmɪsɪŋ.
The following day, however, the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good.
ðə ˈfɑloʊɪŋ deɪ, ˌhaʊˈɛvər, ðə ˈdɑktər kənˈsoʊld hɪm baɪ ˈtɛlɪŋ hɪm ðæt hɪz ˈʧænsəz ʌv ˈbiɪŋ ˈeɪbəl tu liv ˈhɑˌspɪtəl ɪn taɪm fɔr nu jɪr ˌsɛləˈbreɪʃənz wɜr gʊd.
The man took heart and, sure enough, on New Year's Eve he was able to hobble along to a party.
ðə mən tʊk hɑrt ænd, ʃʊr ɪˈnʌf, ɑn nu jɪrz iv hi wʌz ˈeɪbəl tu ˈhɑbəl əˈlɔŋ tu ə ˈpɑrti.
To compensate for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than was good for him.
tu ˈkɑmpənˌseɪt fɔr hɪz ənˈplɛzənt ɪkˈspɪriənsɪz ɪn ˈhɑˌspɪtəl, ðə mən dræŋk ə ˈlɪtəl mɔr ðæn wʌz gʊd fɔr hɪm.
In the process, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals.
ɪn ðə ˈprɑˌsɛs, hi ɛnˈʤɔɪd hɪmˈsɛlf ˈθɜroʊli ænd kɛpt ˈtɛlɪŋ ˈɛvriˌbɑdi haʊ mʌʧ hi ˈheɪtəd ˈhɑˌspɪtəlz.
He was still mumbling something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.
hi wʌz stɪl ˈmʌmbəlɪŋ ˈsʌmθɪŋ əˈbaʊt ˈhɑˌspɪtəlz æt ði ɛnd ʌv ðə ˈpɑrti wɛn hi slɪpt ɑn ə pis ʌv aɪ ce ænd broʊk hɪz lɛft lɛg.
