有时候真不是你英文听力不好,也不是你没听清楚,而是说话的人“没说清楚”。
英语中不仅会有弱读,把一些发音弱化,有时甚至会省略某些音,这种现象称作缩读。
1、be动词,助动词,情态动词的缩读:
could have 可以缩读成 could'a 'kʊdə]
e.g. He could'a finished it.
should have → should'a /'ʃʊdə/
would have → would'a /'wʊdə/
could not have → couldn'a /'kʊdnə/
e.g. You couldn'a done that to me.
can → c'n /kən/
e.g.He c'n always make it.
但是can't 不能缩读成 c'n't
do you → 'dy'a /'dɪjə/
e.g.
How 'dy'a feel?
How 'dy'a like the tea?
did you可以缩读成 didja 'dɪdʒə],
e.g. How didja make it?
还可以缩读成 dja dʒə],
e.g. How dja make it?
does she → dushi /'dəʃɪ/
e.g. Dushi like the band?
don't know → dunno /'dənəu/
e.g.
I dunno what to say.
I dunno where to go.
are you → ya/jə/
e.g.
What ya doing?
Where ya going?
如果are you后面没有其他词语的时候, 不能缩读,所以 How are you? 不能缩读成 How ya?
2、有关代词,动词和其他缩读:
and → 'n' /n/
e.g.
You 'n' me.
Sweet 'n' Low.
Rock 'n' Roll.
because → 'cause /kəz/ → 'cuz /kʌz/
e.g.
I don't eat sweets 'cause I have bad teeth.
out of → outta /'aʊtə/
e.g. Get outta here.
give me → gimme /'gɪmɪ/
e.g.
Gimme that bottle.
Gimme me a kiss.
want to → wanna /'wanə/
e.g.
I wanna go outside to get some fresh air.
going to → gonna /'ganə/
e.g.
I’m gonna give him a surprise.
He’s gonna need to see a doctor.
got to → gotta /'gatə/
e.g.
I gotta see him right now.
I gotta go catch the train.
what are you → wachya/wacha /'watʃə/
e.g. Wacha doin' for the holiday?
he → 'e /iː/
e.g. Who is 'e?
如果he在句首, 则不可以缩读。
he has → he'as /'hɪəz/
e.g. He'as big blue eyes.
she has → she'as /'ʃɪəz/
e.g. She'as her hair cut.
him → 'im /im/
e.g.
Tell 'im the story.
Do you know 'im?
her → 'er /ɜː/
e.g.
Did you find 'er?

如果 her用于句首, 则不可以略读。
