quickly and everything links together, doesn't it? Let's talk about that linking, that's so natural

in American English. I just want to-- just want  to-- She drops the T in just, it's very common  

在美國英語中。我只是想... ... 只是想... ... 她滴T在只是，這是非常常見的。

when we have an ending cluster like ST or CT and  the next word begins with a consonant, it's very  

當我們有一個像ST或CT這樣的結尾詞組，而下一個詞的開頭是輔音時，它就會很

common to drop that T, and that's what she does  here, the S right into the W. Now she doesn't say  

她在這裡就是這麼做的，把 "S "變成了 "W"，現在她沒有說 "S"，而是說 "W"。

'want to' she says that very common reduction  'wanna'. Now if you're wondering what vowels  

'想'她說那個很常見的縮略詞'想'。如果你想知道什麼元音？

should I put in there, you have a couple options.  I would say UH as in butter, wuh, wuh, wanna,  

我應該把在那裡， 你有幾個選項。 我會說UH，因為在黃油，Wuh，Wuh，想。

would be the best choice for that  first syllable. I just want to-- and  

將是最好的選擇 第一個音節。我只是想...

then the final syllable should be the  schwa. I just want to, I just want to.

那麼最後的音節應該是分音符。我只是想，我只是想。

I just want to,

我只是想。

be with him.

與他同在。

Be with him, be with him, be with him. So for  the word with, that's the unvoiced TH and the  

和他在一起，和他在一起，和他在一起。所以，對於with這個詞，就是不發聲的th和。

word him, it's very common to drop the H there.  Be with him. Be with him. But I do hear that she  

字他，很常見的是在那裡掉H。 和他在一起和他在一起但我確實聽說她

is saying the H, it's just unstressed, it's said  quickly. For this unvoiced TH, you can actually  

是說H，只是沒有壓力，說的很快。對於這個未發聲的TH，其實你可以

see her tongue tip does come through, it's a  little bit grainy but we can see the tongue.  

看到她的舌尖確實通過， 這是一個有點顆粒狀，但我們可以看到舌頭。

Be with him..

和他在一起...

all the time. 

一直都在。

All the time, all the time. So the word all,  we have a dark L there. You don't need to lift  

所有的時間，所有的時間。所以所有這個詞，我們那裡有一個暗L。你不需要舉起

your tongue tip, it's not: all, all. But all,  uhl, uhl. That sound is made with the tongue  

你的舌尖，它不是：所有，所有。而是全部，呃，呃，呃。這個音是用舌頭髮出的

tip down and the back part of the tongue  pressing down and back. All, uhl, uhl.  

舌尖向下，舌頭的後半部分向下和向後壓。所有，呃，呃。

Then just go into your TH sound for the  word 'the'. Do not lift your tongue tip. All  

然後，只要進入你的TH音的 "the "字。不要抬起你的舌尖。所有的

the, the, the, the. An unstressed word like this  that begins with the voiced TH, you don't need to  

的，的，的，的。像這種以聲母th開頭的無壓力詞，你不需要

bring your tongue tip through like you did for the  unvoiced TH. Unvoiced TH have to bring your tongue  

把你的舌尖穿過，就像你對無聲TH所做的那樣。未發聲的TH必須把你的舌頭...

tip through, voiced TH, you don't necessarily  have to. And if it's an unstressed word like the,  

提示過，有聲的TH，你不一定要這樣做。而如果是像the這樣的無壓力詞。

then you can get away with not bringing the tip  all the way through, but just touching the tongue  

那你就可以不用把舌尖貫穿，而只是觸及舌尖。

to the backs of the teeth. The, the, the, the. The  tongue might show through the cracks a little bit,  

到牙齒的背面。的，的，的，的。舌頭可能會從縫隙中露出來一點。

but you don't have to make the effort to put the  tongue tip through. That takes a little bit more  

但你不必努力把舌尖穿過去。這需要多一點

time than we want for this unstressed word, so  make sure it's not dd-- with the tongue tip at

the roof of the mouth coming down but: the, the,  the, the, the, the tongue poking straight forward

和回來。的、的、的、的、的、的、的、的、的、的、的、的、的。

All the time.

所有的時間。

And the word 'time' starts with the true T,  

而 "時間 "這個詞是以真T開頭的。

then we have the AI diphthong, and  the M consonant. Time, time, time.

然後我們有AI雙音，和M輔音。時間，時間，時間。

Time.

時間。

You know?

你知道嗎？

You know? You know? You know? You know?  

你知道嗎？你知道嗎？ 你知道嗎？你知道嗎？ 你知道嗎？你知道嗎？ 你知道嗎？

This can be said really quickly and unclearly,  like she does. The word 'you' reduces to:  

這話可以說得非常快，也不清楚，像她這樣。'你'字減少到。

ye, ye, ye, ye. You know? You know? You know?  Pitch goes up, it's a yes no question, even though

You know?

你知道嗎？

Day and night.

白天和晚上。

Two stressed words with an  unstressed word in between. Day  

兩個強調的字，中間有一個不強調的字。日

and night. Stop T at the end, that's  because it's the end of the thought group,  

和晚上。把T停在最後，那是因為這是思維組的結束。

the word 'and' is not pronounced, and, with a  full AA vowel, N, D sound. How is it pronounced?

'和'字不發音，而且，帶有完整的AA元音，N、D音。怎麼讀呢？

Day and night.

白天和晚上。

And, and, and, and, and very quickly, the D is  dropped. I don't think the vowel reduces. It's not nn, nn.

還有，還有，還有，還有，還有，還有，很快，D就掉了。我不認為元音會減少。這不是nn，nn。

day and-- day and night, but it's day and, and,  and, and, and, day and night, and, and, and.  

白天和... 白天和晚上，但它是白天和，和，和，和，白天和晚上，和，和，和。

Day and night,

白天和晚上。

and night and day.

和白天和黑夜。

Now here she does reduce the vowel in the word  'and' so she doesn't say an-- but she says nn, nn, nn, nn, nn.  

在這裡，她確實減少了 "和 "字的元音，所以她沒有說an -- 但她說nn，nn，nn，nn，nn，nn。

And I would write that schwa N, and  night and day. Now here she does do  

我會寫那個分音符N，夜以繼日。現在她在這裡做

again a more clear pronunciation. The  D is dropped but it is the AA vowel,  

又是一個比較清晰的讀音。D被去掉了，但它是AA元音。

so there are a couple different  ways you can reduce the word and,  

所以有幾種不同的方法可以減少單詞和。

you can reduce it by dropping the D, which  she does here, and here, or you can reduce  

你可以減少它的D，她在這裡做的，和這裡，或者你可以減少。

it by dropping the D and reducing the vowel,  which is what she does in the middle one.

它的方法是去掉D，減少元音，這是她在中間那個。

And night and day,

而且夜以繼日。

And night and day, and night and day. So more reduced the first time,  

而且夜以繼日，夜以繼日。所以更減少了第一次。

less reduced the second time in this sentence  fragment. And she does do another stop T here,  

少減少了這個句子片段中的第二次。而她在這裡確實又做了一個停頓T。

she doesn't link them together with  a flapped T. And night and day.

她沒有把它們連在一起，用一個扇動的T，夜以繼日。

And night and day...

白天和黑夜...

and special occasions.

和特殊場合。

Special occasions. And, and, and, and, again said  quickly but without the vowel reduction. That  

特殊場合。還有，還有，還有，還有，又說得很快，但沒有元音還原。那個

would be: and, and, but she says: and, and,  and, and, and. So a lot of examples here of  

會是：和，和，但她說：和，和，和，和，和。所以這裡有很多的例子

the and reduction, and most of the time you will  hear the vowel reduced but not always of course.

的和縮減，大多數時候你會聽到元音縮減，但當然不一定。

And special occasions.

還有特殊場合。

And special, first syllable stress there.  And special occasions. So the word occasions,  

還有特別的，第一個音節強調那裡。 和特殊的場合。所以這個詞場合。

in IPA, that first syllable is a schwa.  She gives it more of an OH pronunciation,  

在IPA中，第一個音節是schwa。 她給它的發音更像OH。

that's not the pronunciation of the word but this  does sometimes happen with beginning syllables,  

這不是這個詞的發音，但這有時會發生在開頭的音節上。

when they're vowels, and they're unstressed,  sometimes Americans will over pronounce them  

當他們是元音，他們是不受力的，有時美國人會把他們的發音念得過高

a little bit, like in this case occasions,  it's not occasions, it's occasions, occasions.

一點點，像這種情況下的場合，它不是場合，是場合，場合。

Occasions.

場合。

I've noticed  this also with the word effect. The first syllable

我也注意到這個詞的效果。第一個音節

unstressed is the IH vowel but sometimes  Americans will say effect, switching out  

unstress是IH元音，但有時美國人也會說effect，換成...

the vowel sound. So the pronunciation, the only  pronunciation listed in the dictionary is IH here  

的元音。所以發音，字典上唯一列出的發音是IH這裡的IH

and schwa here, but sometimes native speakers  do switch that out. Anyway, the important thing  

和schwa在這裡，但有時母語使用者確實會把它換掉。總之，重要的是

to know is that she says occasions but  it's actually occasions with the schwa.

要知道的是，她說的場合，但它實際上是場合與schwa。

Occasions..

場合...

Special, CI here makes the SH sound. Special. Now  here we have a dark L but it links into a vowel,  

特別的，CI在這裡使發出SH的聲音。特別的。現在這裡我們有一個深色的L，但它連接成一個元音。

so you can lift your tongue tip there to help  link them together. Special occasions. And here  

這樣你就可以把舌尖抬到那裡，幫助把它們連在一起。特殊場合。還有這裡

the letter S along with the letter I makes the  zsh-- sound like in measure. Special occasions.

字母S和字母I一起發出zsh--的聲音。特殊場合。

Special occasions.

特殊場合。

Wait a minute. Wait.

等待一分鐘。等一下

Wait a minute. Wait. Wait a minute. Wait. Both  times they have that up down shape of stress.  

等待一分鐘。等一下，等一下等一下，等一下兩次他們都有那種上上下下的壓力形狀。

Wait a minute. Wait and the  words a in a minute come in here  

等一下。等一下，然後這裡就會出現 "a in a minute "的字樣。

on the downward shape of  the stress. Wait a minute.

在應力向下的形狀。等一下

Wait a minute.

等一下

The T in wait is a flap T linking the word  wait into the schwa. Wait a, Wait a, Wait a-- 

等等中的T是一個瓣T，將等等一詞連接到分音符中。Wait a, Wait a, Wait a --

Wait a minute. Stop T because the  next word begins with a consonant.

等一下停止T，因為下一個詞的開頭是輔音。

Wait a minute.

等一下

Wait, I--

等等，我...

Wait a minute. Wait, I-- Wait, I-- He also does  a flap T linking the T into the AI diphthong.  

等等，我...等等，我... ... 等等，我... ... 他還做了一個翻轉T音，把T音連接到AI雙音。

就像他在上週的視頻中做的那樣，他把句子連在一起，沒有休息。

Wait, I--

等等，我...

Wait, I-- Wait, I-- So both of  

等一下，我... ... 等一下，我... ...

those words have that stress feeling with  that up down shape. Wait, I-- Wait, I--

這些詞有壓力的感覺 與該上下形狀。等等，我... ... 等等，我...

Wait, I--

等等，我...

see where this is going.

看看這是要去哪裡。

And again, we have some of the up down  shape on 'see'. Wait, I see where this is  

再來，我們在'看'上有一些上下的形狀。等等，我知道這是哪裡了

going. And then some up down shape on the stress  syllable of going. I see, I see where this is,  

去。然後在 "去 "的重音節上做一些上下的造型。我明白了，我明白這是哪裡。

where this is, where this is, where this, is where  this is. These three words, a little bit flatter  

這裡是哪裡，這裡是哪裡，這裡，就是這裡。這三個字，有點平淡

and they really link together, don't they? Where  this is, where this is, where this is, where this  

他們真的聯繫在一起，不是嗎？這裡是哪裡，這裡是哪裡，這裡是哪裡，這裡是哪裡。

is. The word this begins with that voiced TH,  this, but because it's in an unstressed word,  

是。這個詞的開頭是那個聲母TH，這個，但因為它是在一個不受力的詞。

we're not going to bring the tongue tip through,  we're not going to make that much of that sound.  

我們不打算把舌尖通過， 我們不會讓那麼多的聲音。

It can just quickly touch the backs of the teeth  where this, where this, where this, where this,  

它可以只是快速地觸摸到牙背上的這個地方，這個地方，這個地方，這個地方。

where this, where this, where this, where this,  where this is, where this is, where this is going.  

這哪裡，這哪裡，這哪裡，這哪裡，這哪裡，這哪裡，這哪裡。

Simplifying that mouth movement  will let us say it more quickly.  

簡化這個嘴巴的動作，會讓我們說得更快。

Where this, the R sound right into the TH, the S  sound of this linking right into the vowel, IH of  

凡此，R音正好進入TH，S音正好連接成元音，IH的

is. This is, this is, this is, this is, this is.

是，這是，這是，這是，這是，這是。這就是，這就是，這就是，這就是，這就是。

You're going to ask him to New Years--

你要請他去過年... ...

And actually, this should have an apostrophe  here. It's short for New Year's eve,
