Hi. I'm Tim and this is my Pronunciation Workshop. Here, I'm going to show you how English is really spoken.
嗨，我是蒂姆，这是我的英音课堂。在这里，我会教给你英文究竟是怎么说的。
Come on, let's go inside. Hey, look at this: a present.
来吧，到里面来。嘿，看看这个，一份礼物。
All wrapped up in paper. Now, do you know what this is?
用纸包着的。你知道里面是什么吗？
Well, if you could smell it, it might give you a clue. Is it your old socks?
如果你能闻到的话，你就知道是什么东西了。是你的臭袜子吗？
Very funny - No. No, it's not my old socks. It's something much, much nicer.
呵呵……不，才不是我的臭袜子。可比那个好闻多的多了。
Something delicious in fact. Let's ask the people of London if they can tell what it is, without seeing it.
其实是好吃的。我们问问伦敦路上的人，看看他们能不能不看里面就告诉我们里面是什么。
Fish and chips. Fish and chips. Fish and chips.
鱼和薯条。鱼和薯条。
Fish and chips. Fish and chips. Yes, that's right. It's good old fish and chips.
鱼和薯条。没错，就是经典的鱼和薯条。
I'm going to save that for later. Now the word 'and' has got three sounds, hasn't it? /æ/, /n/, /d/ - but listen again.
我等会儿再吃。And这个单词有三个发音，对吧？/æ/, /n/, /d/ - 再来听一遍。
How is it pronounced in everyday speech? Fish and chips.
在日常用语中是怎么发音的？鱼和薯条。
Fish and chips. Fish and chips. Fish and chips. Fish and chips.
鱼和薯条。鱼和薯条。
And is not usually an important word. It's a basic conjunction and it's frequently unstressed.
And通常不是一个重要的单词。它就是一个连词而且经常弱读。
When this happens, the /d/ at the end of the word disappears before both vowels and consonants, and the vowel sound at the beginning of the word changes to schwa: /ə/, so 'and' becomes /ən/ or even /n/ as the sounds are almost identical. Here are some more examples.
弱读的时候，词尾的/d/音在元音和辅音之前都会消失，而and开头的a会变成schwa音：/ə/，所以and就变成/ən/，甚至在一些更典型的发音中变成/n/。这里有一些其他的例子。
I'm going to go and get the shopping. Apples and oranges are my favourite fruits.
我出去买些东西。我最喜欢苹果和橘子。
I've been thinking and thinking but I can't decide. We went for a coffee and something to eat.
我左思右想，但还是做不了决定。我们喝了咖啡，又吃了点东西。
Right, so you've heard the examples, and now it's your turn. You know the drill. Listen and repeat.
好了，听完例句，该你了。你懂得，听完跟读。

这就是今天的英音课堂。下周见，拜拜！
Now, there's only one thing to eat with fish 'n' chips - and that's salt 'n' vinegar. This reminds me of one of my favourite jokes: What do angry sharks eat? Fish 'n' ships.
要跟鱼和薯条配着吃的，那就只有盐和醋啦。这让我想起了我最喜欢的笑话：愤怒的鲨鱼吃什么？鱼和小船。
Get it? Fish 'n' ships! Oh, I don't know why I bother. Ok, now, time to eat.
能理解吗？鱼和小船！哦，我都不知道我干嘛要讲。好了，该开吃了。
What? What is this? What is going on? Where's the. . . ? It really is fish. . . and ships! Well that is the last time I'm telling that joke.
什么？这是什么？怎么回事？鱼和薯条哪去了？这下真的变成了鱼……和小船！这是我最后一次讲这个笑话了。
This is no laughing matter. I'm hungry now. . . . . . . . .
一点儿都不好笑。我好饿……
