And [end] (y) , as a result [ez e riz alt] (como resultado) , he cannot [ji ken not] (no puede) learn to speak [li orn tu spik] (aprender a hablar).
So [s ou] (por lo que) he lags behind [ji legz bij aind] (se queda atrás de) his [jiz] (sus) luckier peers [l akia p iaz] (pares más afortunados) in development [in div elopment] (en el desarrollo).

When [wen] (cuando) he appeared [ji ep iad] (apareció) in [in] (en) the project [z pr odʒekt] (el proyecto) , his [jiz] (sus) parents [p erents] (padres) were [wi or] (tenían) eighteen [eit in] (dieciocho) years old [y iaz old] (años).
Several years later [s everal y iaz l eita] (unos años después) , his [jiz] (su) mother [m aza] (madre) died [d aid] (murió) and [end] (y) his [jiz] (su) father [f aza] (padre) remarried [rim erid] (se volvió a casar).
A freshly made stepmother [e fr eʃly m eid step m aza] (la madrastra recién hecha) beat him [bit jim] (le golpeó).

But [bat] (pero) his eight-kilogram weight [jiz eit-k ilogram w eit] (su peso de ocho kilogramos) gives us a poor idea [givz as] (nos da una mala idea) of [of] (de) it [it] (esto).
The reader [z r ida] (el lector), probably [pr obably] (probablemente) , will be much surprised [wil by mach sipr aizd] (se sorprenda mucho) , but [bat] (pero) Sasha’s father [s aʃaz f aza] (el padre de Sasha) , who [ju] (que) has not seen [jez not sin] (no ha visto) his [jiz] (a su) son [san] (hijo) since [sins] (desde que) he took him [ji tuk jim] (le llevó) to the [tu z] (al) boarding school [b oding skul] (internado) , isn’t deprived [iz not dipr aivd] (ya no está privado) of [of] (de) parental rights [par enta r aitsl] (los derechos de los padres).

In [in] (en) the boarding school [z b oding skul] (el internado) , Sasha [s aʃa] (Sasha) quickly gained [cu ikly g eind] (ganó rápidamente) weight [w eit] (peso) for the age [fo z eidʒ] (según su edad) , but [bat] (pero) the hearing problem [z j iaring pr oblem] (el problema de la audición) remains [rim einz] (sigue) unresolved [anriz olvd] (sin resolverse).
