Lesson42 Not very musical    时长：71s

As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of Old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest.

æz wiː hæd hæd ə lɒŋ wɔːk θruː wʌn ɒv ðə ˈmɑːkɪts ɒv əʊld ˈdɛli, wiː stɒpt æt ə skweə tuː hæv ə rɛst.

After a time, we noticed a snake-charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him.

ˈɑːftər ə taɪm, wiː ˈnəʊtɪst ə ˈsneɪkˌʧɑːmə wɪð tuː lɑːʤ ˈbɑːskɪts æt ði ˈʌðə saɪd ɒv ðə skweə, səʊ wiː wɛnt tuː hæv ə lʊk æt hɪm.

As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets.

æz suːn æz hiː sɔː ʌs, hiː pɪkt ʌp ə lɒŋ paɪp wɪʧ wɒz ˈkʌvəd wɪð kɔɪnz ænd ˈəʊpənd wʌn ɒv ðə ˈbɑːskɪts.

When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake.

wɛn hiː bɪˈgæn tuː pleɪ ə tjuːn, wiː hæd ˈaʊə fɜːst glɪmps ɒv ðə sneɪk.

It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe.

ɪt rəʊz aʊt ɒv ðə ˈbɑːskɪt ænd bɪˈgæn tuː ˈfɒləʊ ðə ˈmuːvmənts ɒv ðə paɪp.

We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs.

wiː wɜː ˈvɛri mʌʧ səˈpraɪzd wɛn ðə sneɪk ˈʧɑːmə ˈsʌdnli bɪˈgæn tuː pleɪ ʤæz ænd ˈmɒdən pɒp sɒŋz.

The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly.

ðə sneɪk, haʊˈɛvə, kənˈtɪnju(ː)d tuː dɑːns ˈsləʊli.

It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!

ɪt ˈɒbvɪəsli kʊd nɒt tɛl ðə ˈdɪfrəns bɪˈtwiːn ˈɪndiən ˈmjuːzɪk ænd ʤæz!
