L33 -1：

A day to remember

/ə/ /deɪ/ /tuː/ /rɪˈmɛmbə/

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong.

/wiː/ /hæv/ /ɔːl/ /ɪksˈpɪərɪənst/ /deɪz/ /wɛn/ /ˈɛvrɪθɪŋ/ /gəʊz/ /rɒŋ./

A day may begin well enough, but

/ə/ /deɪ/ /meɪ/ /bɪˈgɪn/ /wɛl/ /ɪˈnʌf,/ /bʌt/

suddenly everything seems to get out of control. What

ˈ/sʌdnli/ /ˈɛvrɪθɪŋ/ /siːmz/ /tuː/ /gɛt/ /aʊt/ /ɒv/ /kənˈtrəʊl./ /wɒt/

invariably happens is that a great number of things choose

/ɪnˈveərɪəbli/ /ˈhæpənz/ /ɪz/ /ðæt/ /ə/ /greɪt/ /ˈnʌmbər/ /ɒv/ /θɪŋz/ /ʧuːz/

to go wrong at precisely the same moment. It is as if a single

/tuː/ /gəʊ/ /rɒŋ/ /æt/ /prɪˈsaɪsli/ /ðə/ /seɪm/ /ˈməʊmənt./ /ɪt/ /ɪz/ /æz/ /ɪf/ /ə/ /ˈsɪŋgl/

unimportant event set up a chain of reactions. Let us

/ˌʌnɪmˈpɒtənt/ /ɪˈvɛnt/ /sɛt/ /ʌp/ /ə/ /ʧeɪn/ /ɒv/ /ri(ː)ˈækʃənz./ /lɛt/ /ʌs/

suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye

/səˈpəʊz/ /ðæt/ /juː/ /ɑː/ /prɪˈpeərɪŋ/ /ə/ /miːl/ /ænd/ /ˈkiːpɪŋ/ /ən/ /aɪ/

on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this

/ɒn/ /ðə/ /ˈbeɪbi/ /æt/ /ðə/ /seɪm/ /taɪm./ /ðə/ /ˈtɛlɪfəʊn/ /rɪŋz/ /ænd/ /ðɪs/

marks the prelude to an unforeseen series of catastrophes.

/mɑːks/ /ðə/ /ˈprɛljuːd/ /tuː/ /ən/ /ˌʌnfɔːˈsiːn/ /ˈsɪəriːz/ /ɒv/ /kəˈtæstrəfiz./

While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off

/waɪl/ /juː/ /ɑːr/ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /fəʊn,/ /ðə/ /ˈbeɪbi/ /pʊlz/ /ðə/ /ˈteɪb(ə)lˌklɒθ/ /ɒf/

the table, smashing half your best crockery and cutting

/ðə/ /ˈteɪbl,/ /ˈsmæʃɪŋ/ /hɑːf/ /jɔː/ /bɛst/ /ˈkrɒkəri//ænd/ /ˈkʌtɪŋ/

himself in the process. You hang up hurriedly and attend to

/hɪmˈsɛlf/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /ˈprəʊsɛs./ /juː/ /hæŋ/ /ʌp/ /ˈhʌrɪdli//ænd/ /əˈtɛnd/ /tuː/

baby, crockery,etc. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this

/ˈbeɪbi,/ /ˈkrɒkəri,/ /ɪtˈsɛtrə./ /ˈmiːnˈwaɪl,/ /ðə/ /miːl/ /gɛts/ /bɜːnt./ /æz/ /ɪf/ /ðɪs/

were not enough to reduce you to tears, your husband

/wɜː/ /nɒt/ /ɪˈnʌf/ /tuː/ /rɪˈdjuːs/ /juː/ /tuː/ /teəz,/ /jɔː/ /ˈhʌzbənd/

arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.

/əˈraɪvz,/ /ˌʌnɪksˈpɛktɪdli/ /ˈbrɪŋɪŋ/ /θriː/ /gɛsts/ /tuː/ /ˈdɪnə./
