So, let's start with the 'to be' contractions, as in I am, you are, we are. First, I'm. It's

所以，讓我們'從'to be'的收縮詞開始，如我是，你是，我們是。首先，我'm。It's

one syllable, the 'ai' as in 'buy' diphthong and the M consonant sound. I'm here, I'm here.

一個音節，'ai'如'buy'雙元音和m輔音。我'在這裡，我'在這裡。

You are, you're: begins with the Y consonant sound, then the schwa, and finally the R consonant

You are, you're: 以Y輔音開始，然後是schwa，最後是R輔音。

sound. You're, you're. You're here! You're welcome. He's, she's, and it's. Now the apostrophe

聲音。你是，你是。你在這裡! You're! You're!You're welcome. - He's, she's, and it's.他'的，她'的，它'的。現在是撇號

S for the word 'is' in these three contractions is pronounced as a Z sound for he and she,

S表示'是'，在這三個收縮詞中，他和她的發音是Z音。

and as an S sound for it's. He's, zzz, zzz, Z sound, she's, zzz, zzz, Z sound, it's, sss,

並作S音的it's。He's，zz，zz，Z音，she's，zz，zz，Z音，it's，ss。

S sound. The apostrophe S in he's, she's, and it's, can also be shortening the word

S音。he's、she's、it's中的撇號S，也可以是單詞的簡稱。

'has', not just 'is'. He has, he's been here before. She has, she's, she's been here before.

'已經'，不只是'是'。他有，他'一直在這裡之前。她有，她'的，她'的以前一直在這裡。

It has, it's, it's been here for a while. We're begins with the W consonant sound. It

它已經，它'的，它'的已經在這裡一段時間。We're以W輔音開始。它

then has the schwa/R sound combination, just like the 'er' as in 'her' vowel sound: ww,

然後有schwa/R音組合，就像'er'一樣，在'her'元音：ww。

er. So even though it would be written with two different symbol sounds, it's just the

er。所以，即使會用兩種不同的符號音來寫，也只是用了

one rr, rr, rr sound. We're, we're, we're coming! They're: pronounced just like these

一個rr，rr，rr的聲音。We're，we're，we're，we're coming!They're：發音就像這些。

two words their/there. Th, the voiced TH sound, th, the 'eh' as in 'bed', the-er, er. The

兩個字they/there。Th，發th音，th，即'eh'，如'bed'，the-er，er.The。

schwa/R sound finishing off the word. They're. They're. They're here! Question words are

schwa/R音修飾這個詞。They're。他們在這裡！他們在這裡！問題詞是

often part of contractions as well. For example, how is. How's, how's. The S is pronounced

往往也是收縮詞的一部分。例如，怎麼是。How's，how's。S的發音是

as a Z sound, how's. How's it going? Why's, why is. Why's, again it is pronounced like

作為一個Z音，如何'的。怎麼'的？為什麼's，為什麼是。Why's，它又是發音像。

a Z sound. It's pronounced just like this word wise. Why's, why's it there? What is,

一個Z音。它的發音就像這個詞一樣聰明。為什麼'的，為什麼'的它在那裡？什麼是。

what's. So the apostrophe S is pronounced as an S, what's. Now, make sure you get the

what's。所以，撇號S的發音是S，what's。現在，請確保你得到的是

T for 'what' in there. It's a stop, what's, not just an S sound. What---ss. So do move

T為'什麼'在那裡。它'是一個停頓，what's，不只是一個s音。什麼---ss。所以做移動

the tongue up to the roof of the mouth to make that stop for the T. What's, what's.

舌頭到嘴頂，使該停止為T，什麼&#39；的，什麼&#39；的。

What's it doing there? The apostrophe S could also be the word does. What does, what's.

它在那裡做什麼？撇號S也可以是does這個詞。what does，什麼'的。

What's it mean? When. When is becomes when's, zz, zz. Here the apostrophe S is pronounced

什麼意思？當。When is變成了when's，zz，zz。這裡的撇號S的發音為

as a Z. When's, when's, when is, when's it over? The apostrophe S can also mean does.

作為Z，當'的，當'的，什麼時候是，什麼時候結束？撇號S也可以表示do。

When does, when's, again, pronounced as a Z, when's it end? When does it end, when's

什麼時候，什麼時候's，又讀作z，什麼時候's結束？當它結束時，當's

it end? The have contractions. These are written as apostrophe VE, and when the word before

它的結束？有收縮詞。這些都寫成引號VE，而當前面的字在

ends in a vowel or diphthong sound, it simply adds the V consonant sound to the end of that

以元音或雙元音結尾，它只是在該元音或雙元音的結尾處加上V輔音。

syllable. I, I have, I've, I've, vvv. I've been waiting. You have, you've, you've. Again,

音節。I，I have，I've，I've，vvv.I've一直在等待。你有，你've，你've。再來。

the word 'you' pronounced just the same, only with, vv, a V sound at the end. You've. The

這個詞'you'的發音一樣，只是在結尾處有，vv，一個V音。你'了。的

Y consonant sound, 'oo' as in 'boo' vowel, and the V consonant sound. You've, you've

Y輔音，'oo'如'boo'元音，V輔音。你've，你've。

been waiting. We have, we've. The W consonant sound, the 'ee' as in 'she' vowel, and the

一直在等待。我們有，我們've。W輔音、'ee'如'she'元音，以及。

V consonant. It's pronounced just like this word, weave. We've, we've been waiting. They

V輔音。它的發音就像這個詞一樣，編織。我們'了，我們'一直在等待。他們

have, they've. They've. The voiced TH sound, the 'ay' as in 'say' diphthong, they, they,

有，他們've。他們've。聲母th音，'ay'如'說'雙音，他們，他們。

vv. And the V sound. They've. They've been waiting. The next set of words with the 'have'

vv.和V音。他們'已經。他們'一直在等待。下一組詞與'have&39。

contraction all end in a consonant. So rather than just adding a V sound, it actually adds

收縮都以輔音結束。所以，與其說它只是增加了一個V音，不如說它實際上增加了

another, unaccented syllable: the schwa sound followed by the V sound. For example, could

另一個不發聲的音節：V音後的分音符。例如，可以

have, could've, could've, ve, ve. Separate, extra syllable at the end. Could've. I wish

有，可以've，可以've，ve，ve。分開，末尾多出的音節。可以've。我希望

I could've seen it. Should have, should've, should've, ve, ve. I should've known. Would

我可以've看到它。應該，應該've，應該've，ve，ve。我應該've知道。會

have, would've. Again, it's the first syllable, woul-dve, that is stressed and, -dve: low

have，would've。同樣，它'是第一個音節，woul-dve，是強調和，-dve：低沉的

in pitch and volume. Would've. It would've been nice. Might have. Now the T here is going

在音調和音量。會've。這將是很好的。可能有。現在這裡的T是要

to be pronounced as a flap T, so it will actually sound like a D: might've, might've. Dve, dve,

要讀成瓣T，所以實際上會聽起來像D：might&#39；ve，might&#39；ve。Dve，dve。

mai-dve, might've. I might've gone. The 'will' contractions. All of these contractions have

mai-dve，might've。我可能'了。的'會&39;收縮。這些收縮詞都有

a dark L that is added at the end. I've said before, the dark L has a vowel-like sound

在最後加上的暗L。前面我已經說過了，深色的L有一個元音一樣的聲音。

that's not written in IPA: uh, uh, uhl, before the tongue moves up into the final position.

那'不是用IPA寫的：呃，呃，呃爾，在舌頭移動到最後位置之前。

So let's take example I, I'll, I--'ll, uhl, that dark L sound on the end. I will, I'll.

所以我們以I為例，I'll，I--'ll，uhl，那個暗L音在最後。我會的，我'會的。

I'll be there soon. You will, you'll. You---uhl. Dark L at the end. You'll. You'll need to

我很快就會去的你會，你'會。你---uhl。暗L在最後。你'll。你需要

come quickly. With the he will and she will contractions, the ee vowel might relax a little

來得很快。隨著 "他會 "和 "她會 "的宮縮，"咿 "的元音可能會放鬆一點。

into the 'ih' as in 'sit' vowel. He will, he'll, he'll, he'll be here soon. She will,

成'ih'，如'sit'元音。他將，他'會，他'會，他'很快就會來。她會。

she'll, becomes more with the ih sound she'll, she'll, she'll be here soon. It will. It'll.

她'll，變得更與ih的聲音她'll，她'll，她'll，她'll很快就會在這裡。會的。It'll。

Notice the T here is pronounced as a flap T, the D sound. It'll. It'll be ok. With the

注意這裡的T讀作瓣T，D音。它'會。它'會好的。隨著

we will contraction you might find, again, that the 'ee' as in 'she' vowel relaxes into

we will contraction you might find, again, that 'ee' as in 'she' vowel relaxes into

the 'ih' as in 'sit' vowel. We will, we'll, we'll. It sounds a lot like the word 'will'.

的'ih'，如'sit'元音。我們會，我們&#39；會，我們&#39；會。聽起來很像'will'這個詞。

We'll be there tomorrow. The will, they'll. They'll. The TH, th, voiced sound, 'ay' as

我們明天會去的。會的，他們'會的。他們'會。TH，th，有聲的聲音，'ay'作為。

in 'say' diphthong, and the dark L sound. Uhl, uhl, they'll. They'll be here soon. How

在'說'雙音，和暗L音。呃爾，呃爾，他們'會。他們'很快就會來。如何

will becomes how'll, which sounds just like this word howl. How will, how'll, how'll you

will變成了how'll，聽起來就像這個單詞howl。How will，How'll，How'll you

get there? Where will becomes where'll, where'll, where---'ll. Where'll you be? When will, when'll.

到那裡去？哪裡會變成哪裡'會，哪裡'會，哪裡--'會。哪裡'會，你會在哪裡？當會，當'會。

When'll I see you again? What will. Again, the T here will be pronounced as a D, it's

我什麼時候能再見到你？什麼會。同樣，這裡的T會被讀成D，它的

flapped. What'll, what'll. And you'll notice that the contraction adds a second unaccented

啪啪啪。什麼&#39；會，什麼&#39；會。而且你會注意到，這個收縮詞增加了第二個不發音的音符。

syllable. What'll. What'll it be? The words had and would can both be represented by the

音節。什麼&#39；會。What'll是什麼？had和would這兩個詞都可以用the

apostrophe D. In the word I'd, it's simply a D sound at the end of the 'ai' as in 'buy'

撇號D，在I'd這個詞中，它'只是在'ai'的末尾發D音，如'buy&#39。

diphthong. I'd. I'd go if I could. You would, or you had, you'd, you'd. The Y consonant

雙音節。I'd。I'd。 I'd去，如果我可以。你會，或者你有，你'd，你'd。Y輔音

sound, the 'oo' as in 'boo', and the D sound. You'd, all one syllable. You'd like it. She

音，'oo'，如'boo'，還有D音。你'd，都是一個音節。你'd喜歡它。她

had, or would, and he had, or would, again, the apostrophe D simply adds the D sound at

had, or would, and he had, or would, again, apostrophe D simply adds the D sound at the

the end of the syllable. She'd, he'd. She'd been there before. He'd been there before.

音節的結尾。她'd，他'd。She'd一直在那裡之前。他之前一直在那裡。

It. Now, when you add the apostrophe D here, it'd, it'd, you change the T to a D sound,

It. 現在，當你在這裡加上撇號D，it'd，it'd，你就把T改成了D音。現在，當你在這裡加上撇號D，it'd，it'd，你就把T變成了D音。

and the apostrophe D adds a syllable. It's going to be the schwa and the D sound. It'd,

和撇號D增加了一個音節。這將是schwa和D音。它的D。

it'd. So that 's the 'ih' as in 'sit' sound, ih, dud. The D - schwa - D sound. It'd, it'd,

它'd。所以那'是'ih'，如'sit'音，ih，dud。D--schwa--D音。它'd，它'd。

it'd be nice. The apostrophe D with the word 'we', again, is just simply the D sound at

它'會很好。撇號D與單詞'we'，同樣，只是簡單的D音。

the end of that word, not adding a syllable. We'd. We'd. It's pronounced just like this

該詞的結尾，不加一個音節。We'd。We'd。它的發音就像這樣。

word 'weed'. We'd better get going. The D with they, again, simply adds the D sound.

字'雜草'。We'd better get going.D與they，又只是增加了D的音。

They'd, they'd. They'd seen it twice before. The apostrophe D on the word how again just

他們'd，他們'd。他們'd見過兩次。詞上的撇號D怎麼又只是。

adds the D sound. How'd, how'd, how'd. How'd it go? The apostrophe D can also represent

增加了D音。如何&#39；d，如何&#39；d，如何&#39；d。How'd呢？撇號D也可以表示

the word 'did' as in the following two examples. Again with the word 'where', when you add
