In a recent video, I said, "I like that phrase, ts'a good one." I reduced the word "it's" to simply the TS sound, ts (loop two times).
在最近的一个视频里我说，"I like that phrase，ts'a good one."我把单词"it's"略读成了ts的音，ts（循环两次）
There are two other words that can reduce to this sound. In this video, you'll learn all about it.
还有另外两个单词也可以略读成这个音。在这节视频里，你将会学习这个。
First, let's watch the clip I mentioned in the intro. I like that phrase. Ts'a good one.
首先，我们来看一下引入部分我提到的略读。I like that phrase. Ts'a good one.
It's a good one. (loop two times) You've probably noticed that native speakers will contract "it is" and say "it's".
It's a good one. （循环两次）你可能已经注意到了英语母语者会进行缩略变成"it's"。
So, that's the IH vowel and the TS cluster. But of course, as I've just pointed out, we may also drop the vowel altogether, and leave it to just ts (loop two times).
所以，那就是元音IH和TS的集群。当然了，就像我指出的那样，我们也可以把元音也一起省略，就变成了ts（循环两次）。
"It is" becomes "it's" becomes "ts". Let's listen again. Ts'a good one. (loop three times)
"It is" 变成了 "it's" 变成了 "ts"。我们再听一遍。Ts'a good one. （循环三次）
Other examples: it's alright, it's ok. What do you notice? It's alright, it's ok.
另一个例子：it's alright，it's ok. 你注意到了吗？it's alright，it's ok.
The TS sound links directly to the next word, there is no break, and that must happen if we're going to reduce "it is" to "it's" or even "ts". Ts'okay.
TS的音直接和后面的单词相连，中间没有间隔。当我们要把"it is"略读成"it's" 甚至"ts"的时候就必须进行连读。Ts'okay.
So, it's like the TS cluster begins the next word. Or should I say, ts'like. Ts'like the TS cluster begins the next word.
所以听起来就像是TS集群是下一个单词的开头。或者我可以说，ts'like。Ts'like the TS cluster begins the next word.
Try it: ts'alright. ts'okay. ts'funny.
试一下：ts'alright. ts'okay. ts'funny.
What else can be reduced to simply TS?
还有什么可以略读成TS？
"What is" becomes "what's", can become "ts". Take for example the sentence, What's his name again? Ts'is name again?
"What is"可以变成 "what's"，可以边程"ts"。以一个句子为例，What's his name again？Ts'is name again？
Notice how I'm dropping the H in the word 'his'. This is a pretty common reduction. I've made a video on dropping the H.
注意我是怎么省略掉“his”中的H的。这是一个非常常见的略读。我曾录制过一个关于省略H的视频。
So, this leaves us with 'iz' - the IH sound and the Z sound for the word 'his'.
所以，单词“his”就剩下了“iz”，IH还有Z的音。
Notice that the TS connects right up into that. Tsiz (loop two times), ts'is name again (loop two times)?
注意TS直接连接到后面。Tsiz（省略两次），ts'is name again（省略两次）？
Other examples: what's going on? ts'going (loop two times), ts'going on? Or, ts'up? (loop two times) I'm guessing you've heard that one before.
另一个例子：what's going on？ts'going （循环两次），ts'going on？Or，ts'up？（循环两次）我猜你以前已经听过这个了。
I said there were three words that could reduce to this. So what's the third?
我说过有三个单词可以略读成这样。所以第三个是什么？
"That is" becomes "that's", can become "ts". So, you might hear "That's nice" reduce to "ts'nice", ts'nice.
"That is" 可以变成 "that's"，可以变成"ts"。所以你可能听到过"That's nice" 略读成 "ts'nice"，ts'nice.
So if all three of these words can reduce to 'ts', how do you know which word it is?
所以，如果这三个单词都可以略读成“ts”，你怎么知道这究竟是哪个词呢？
Well, we're talking about function words here, they don't affect the meaning of a sentence, so you don't need to worry about it.
那么，我们要在这里讨论一下功能词。他们并不影响一个句子的意思，所以你不需要担心这一点。
Unless you have a very minimal accent, it's probably best to pronounce the contraction: that's, it's, what's.
除非你的口音很轻，那么你最好缩略成that's，it's，what's。
However, it's good to know what's going on when you hear it. Or, should I say, ts'good to know, ts'good to know what's going on.
不管怎样，当你听到的时候你知道是怎么回事就行了。或者我应该说，ts'good to know，ts'good to know what's going on.
Normally, I would say, "That's it, and thanks so much for using Rachel's English". But do you know what I'm going to say today?
通常，我会说，"That's it，and thanks so much for using Rachel's English"。但是你知道今天我准备说什么吗？
Ts'it! And thanks so much for using Rachel's English.
这次的学习就到这里，非常感谢使用Rachel's English。
