If you really want to hear about it,
the first thing (
недостаточно чёткое слияние the first thing - получилось, что thing съела first, но и first отомстило:-))
you'll probably want to know is where I was born (
немного передавлено R),
and what my lousy childhood was like (
пролетело waS like),
and how my parents were_occupied (
здесь бы лучше соединительную _R_ вставить, а то немецкий кнаклаут получился) and all
before they had me,
and all that David Copperfield kind of crap (
"лягушка" квАкнула во рту:-) - https://forvo.com/word/crap/#en - там есть одна девочка)),
but I don't feel (
feel получилось почти как fill) like going in it, if you want to know the truth.
In the first place, that stuff bores (
гласный с оттенком [ɜː]) me,
and in the second (
слышно какое-то лишнее придыхание на [s_]) place,
my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty (
провалилось flap T) personal about them.
They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially (
[ʃ] чуть провалилось в русский звук) my father.
They're nice and all - I'm not saying that - but they're also touchy as hell.
Besides (
хорошо бы добавить альвеолярности на [s_] [d_] [z_]),
I'm not going to tell you my whole goddamn (
['gɔdæm] в безударном положении заметно провисло) autobiography or anything.
I'll just tell you about this madman stuff (
[stʌf] лучше бы более передний и без намёка на придыхание у [t] после [s-])
that happened to me around last (
[læ̱st] в АМ) Christmas
just before I got pretty run-down (
какое сильное ударение на down)
and had to co
me (
просела конечная согласная) out here and take it easy.
I mean that's all I told D.B. about, and he's my brother and all.
He's in Hollywood (
пример dark [l], где дб light).
That isn't too far from this crumby place, and he comes over and visits me practically every week end.
He's going to drive me home when I go home next month maybe.
He just got a Jaguar.
One of those little English jobs (
в АМ дб гораздо более открытый, здесь похож на брит.) that can do around two hundred
S miles an hour.
It cost him damn near four thousand bucks (
можно было меньше ударных слогов сделать).
He's got a lot of dough, now.
He didn't (
[ɪ] чуть съехало вперед и даже смягчило [d-]) use to.
He used to be just a regular writer, when he was home (
яркий пример того, как зряударное местоимение 'He' вначале схрумкало ударение на used и редуцировало его донельзя).
He wrote this terrific book of short stories (
terrific зажевалось слегка, book - с неоправданно акцентированным ударением, short - с оттенком [ɜː], stories - с лишним придыханием на [t]), The Secret Goldfish, in case you never heard of him (
вводное предложение: тон ниже, ритм выше - даёт эффект небрежности (как будто сказаннное в скобках)).
The best one in it was "The Secret Goldfish."
It was about this little kid that wouldn't let anybody look at his goldfish because he'd bought it with his own money.
It killed me (
взрыв на [d] лучше реализовывать в нос, чтобы не было призвука[-dəmɪ]).
Now he's out in Hollywood, D.B., being (
bein') a prostitute.
If there's one thing (
здесь снова ударение на обычно безударный союз и из-за неудобного сочетания -fth- зажевалось there's - там первое ударение дб на слово `one, всё перед ним - дб безударное, смазанное, но не в кашицу) I hate,
it
's the (как и в fir
st thing) movies (
получилось, скорее, [ʊ] в ['muːvɪz] и оглушилась конечная согласная).
Don't even (
получилось [ɪ] в ['iːv(ə)n]) mention them to me.
