Rachel: In this American English pronunciation video, you're going to visit my cousin Brad's

瑞秋：在這段美式英語發音視頻中，你要去參觀我表哥布拉德的。

You'll learn reductions like the reduction of the word them and how 'want to' becomes

你會學習還原，比如單詞they的還原，以及 "want to "如何成為

You'll hear the phrase "a lot of' pronounced 'a lotta'.

你會聽到 "很多 "這個詞的發音是 "a lotta"。

And you'll hear an example of the reduction of because and you are.

而你會聽到一個例子，減少因為和你是。

Rachel: So Brad, how often do you feed 'em?

It's really common to drop the TH in this word and change the vowel to the schwa.

在這個詞中去掉TH，把元音改成分音真的很常見。

When you do this reduction, make sure you link it on to the word before.

當你做這個還原的時候，一定要把它鏈接到前面的詞上。

“Feed them” becomes “feed 'em”, feed 'em in conversational English.

"Feed them "變成了 "feed 'em"，在英語會話中餵養他們。

It's like an unstressed syllable at the end of “feed”.

就像 "喂 "的末尾有一個不受力的音節。

Let's look at this short sentence to study stress.

我們來看看這短短的句子來研究壓力。

Do you notice that some words are longer and some are shorter?

你是否注意到有的詞比較長，有的詞比較短？

They're all one-syllable long, but “twice” and “day” are much longer than “a”.

它們都是一個音節長，但 "兩次 "和 "日 "比 "阿 "長得多。

They have an up-down intonation: Day, day.

他們有一個上下的音調。日，日。

This contrast between stressed and unstressed is important in American English.

這種強調和不強調的對比在美式英語中很重要。

If everything was stressed and longer, it would sound more like this: twice a day.

如果一切都緊張，時間長了，聽起來更像是：一天兩次。

Did you hear another “them” reduction in that small conversation?

在那段小小的對話中，你是否又聽到了 "他們 "的減少？

Here the word 'them' refers to “cockfights”.

It's the plural pronoun and it's pronounced “em”.

Linked to the word before, it sounds like “have 'em, have 'em”.

聯繫到之前的詞，聽起來像是 "有了，有了"。

Yeah! a lot of guys from Washburn got arrested a couple of years ago for big cockfight ring.

是啊！幾年前有很多沃什本的人因為大斗雞場被捕了。

Rachel: So you guys had a lot of rain you were saying?

瑞秋：所以你說你們下了很多雨？

The phrase “a lot of” is common in American English, and it's common to change the word

在美國英語中，"很多 "這個短語是很常見的，常見的是把這個詞改成了

Notice what happens to the T: it changes to a Flap sound because it comes between two

請注意T的變化：它變成了Flap音，因為它在兩個

這有助於把這兩個詞聯繫起來。

Only “lot” is stressed here, the two other words are unstressed.

這裡只強調了 "很多"，其他兩個字沒有強調。

Rachel: So you guys had a lotta rain you were saying?

So you guys had a lotta rain you were saying?

This wind is making it a little hard to hear, but did you hear what my cousin said?
