'Whatever are you doing up here Bill?' asked the vicar in surprise.

wɒtˈɛvər ɑː juː ˈdu(ː)ɪŋ ʌp hɪə bɪl?' ɑːskt ðə ˈvɪkər ɪn səˈpraɪz.

'I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill. 'I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'

aɪm ˈtraɪɪŋ tuː rɪˈpeə ðə bɛl,' ˈɑːnsəd bɪl. aɪv biːn ˈkʌmɪŋ ʌp hɪə naɪt ˈɑːftə naɪt fɔː wiːks naʊ. juː siː, aɪ wɒz ˈhəʊpɪŋ tuː gɪv juː ə səˈpraɪz.'

'You certainly did give me a surprise!' said the vicar. 'You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.'

uː ˈsɜːtnli dɪd gɪv miː ə səˈpraɪz!' sɛd ðə ˈvɪkə. juːv ˈprɒbəbli ˈwəʊkən ʌp ˈɛvrɪwʌn ɪn ðə ˈvɪlɪʤ æz wɛl. stɪl, aɪm glæd ðə bɛl ɪz ˈwɜːkɪŋ əˈgɛn.'

'That's the trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all right, but I'm afraid that at one o'clock it will strike 13 times and there's nothing I can do about it.'

ðæts ðə ˈtrʌbl, ˈvɪkə,' ˈɑːnsəd bɪl. ɪts ˈwɜːkɪŋ ɔːl raɪt, bʌt aɪm əˈfreɪd ðæt æt wʌn əˈklɒk ɪt wɪl straɪk 13 taɪmz ænd ðeəz ˈnʌθɪŋ aɪ kæn duː əˈbaʊt ɪt.'

'We'll get used to that Bill,' said the vicar. '13 is not as good as one but it's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea.'

wiːl gɛt juːzd tuː ðæt bɪl,' sɛd ðə ˈvɪkə. '13 ɪz nɒt æz gʊd æz wʌn bʌt ɪts ˈbɛtə ðæn ˈnʌθɪŋ. naʊ lɛts gəʊ ˌdaʊnˈsteəz ænd hæv ə kʌp ɒv tiː.'

练习感悟：美音和英音的版本还是挺不一样的，英音要比美音快一些，中间有时候会跟不上，美音的版本是有快有慢，在文中的answered Bill,said the vicar 这种时候一下子很快，之前一直练的是英音的版本，还挺不习惯的。
