or question that you hear quite often in everyday speech and that question is, "How is it going?"

也就是你每天常聽到的問句，那就是「你好嗎？」

Now we're a little unfair.

此時我們是有點不公平

Uh, in everyday speech we don't speak that slowly.

呃 ... 我們在日常生活對話中不會說的那麼慢

Uh, we don't normally greet each other by pronouncing and enunciating each word correctly.

呃 ... 當我們互相打招呼時，通常不會把每個字都發音得清楚且正確

We don't walk up and say, "How is it going Dave?"

我們不會直接說「戴維，你好嗎？」

"It is going fine Bob."

「我很好，鲍勃。」

Uh, but we normally start to compress things.

呃 ... 但是我們通常會縮減句子

So the question, "How is it going?", the first compression down sounds a little more like this,

像是「你好嗎？」的縮減有點像這樣

"How's it goin?".

「你好嗎？」(How 和 s 連音，going 的 g 消音)

So we take the "How is", and it becomes, "How's", and we take the "going" at the end

我們把 "How is" 唸成 "How's"，然後把 "going" 的尾音

and it becomes, "goin".

唸成 "goin"

We kind of drop the "g" off.

我們把 "g" 消音

So we say, "How's it goin?".

因此我們會唸成 "How's it goin?" (How 和 s 連音，going 的 g 消音)

How's it goin?

你好嗎？(How 和 s 連音，going 的 g 消音)

Then we get even faster.

然後我們會唸得更快

So you'll hear people say things like, "Howzitgoin?"

所以你會聽到人們會說 "Howzitgoin?" (How 和 s 連音變成 z 發音，going 的 g 消音)

Howzitgoin?

你好嗎？ (縮減成一個字)

Howzitgoin?

你好嗎？ (縮減成一個字)

Howzitgoin?

你好嗎？ (縮減成一個字)

Uh, where they compress the entire phrase down into one word.

呃 ... 他們會整個縮減句子變成一個字

Howzitgoin?

你好嗎？ (縮減成一個字)

Howzitgoin?

你好嗎？ (縮減成一個字)

Typical responses to, "Howzitgoin?" would be:

典型的回應會是 ...

It's going fine.

我很好

It is going fine.

我很好

It's going fine.

我很好

It's fine.

我很好

Or

或

It's going.

我很好 (縮減句子)

It's going.

我很好 (縮減句子)

Howzitgoin?

你好嗎？ (縮減成一個字)

It's going.

我很好 (縮減句子)

How's it going with you?

你好嗎？

It's going.

我很好 (縮減句子)

It's ok.

一切都好

Um, so again, that's the question, "How is it going?"

嗯，所以再說一次，問句是「你好嗎？」

So listen for that when you hear English speakers speaking a little more rapidly.

外國人說這句話時都會說得有點快

How's it going?

你好嗎？

Thanks.

謝謝
