在口語交流中,尤其是英語母語人士在交談時,一些單詞中的元音,甚至個別單詞,會被簡化讀成一個類似 /?/ 的 “懶音”。學習這類縮略音的發(fā)音規(guī)律有助于讓我們的英語聽起來更自然、流暢??匆曨l,和主持人 Sian 一起學一學。

Let's find out how to make your pronunciation more natural.
So, in fast speech we don't pronounce every word equally.
Fast words are often pronounced as this sound – the schwa.
It's a lazy sound like this:?/?/?Here are some examples.
In natural speech, grammar words like articles, prepositions can be reduced to a schwa.
A and of can become /?/. An becomes /?n/. To becomes /t?/.
A cup of tea becomes /?/ cup /?/ tea.
Also the auxiliary have is often reduced to just /?/.
Would have becomes /?w?d·?/, should have – /???d·?/?and could have – /?k?d·?/.
You should've told me, I would've helped.
And with going to, the to often becomes?/?/?so we get?/?ɡ?.n?/?and want to becomes?/?w?.n?/.
So, if you wanna sound more natural you're gonna have to use the schwa.
口語交流中,有些元音會被弱化成 “非重讀央元音” /?/。比如:
1. 冠詞 “a”、“an”,介詞 “to”、“of” 等語法詞:
A cup of tea?→ /?/ cup /?/ tea
I'll talk to him later?→ I'll talk /t?/ him later
What an odd thing to say?→?What /?n/?odd thing to say
2. 助動詞 “have”:
You should have told me, I would have helped.?→?You?/???d·?/ told me, I?/?w?d·?/ helped.
I could have done that?→ I?/?k?d·?/ done that
3. 搭配 “going to” 和 “want to”:?
I'm going to go there and check?→?I'm?/?ɡ?.n?/ go there and check
Do you want to come??→?Do you /?w?.n?/?come?
