What about? Can you understand what I'm saying?
那么关于这个呢?你能听懂我在说什么吗?
A native speaker might not either. But, in the sentence fragment
以英语为母语的人可能也不会明白。但是,在这个句子里
"Because of my job" "Because of my job" a native speaker would know exactly what I was saying.
“因为我的工作”“因为我的工作”一个以英语为母语的人会确切地知道我在说什么。
Because of my job. Because of my job. 'Because' and 'of' are so unstressed, so reduced and low in pitch,
“因为我的工作”“因为我的工作”“Because”和“of”是轻读,弱读和低音的,
that the word 'job' is able to really jump out of the sentence. Because of my job.
“job”这个词的发音区别于句子中的其他单词。“因为我的工作”。
This is really of primary importance in American English pronunciation.
这在美式英语发音中是非常重要的。
As you're working on pronunciation, keep in mind this idea of a word being part of a whole.
当你在学习发音的时候,记住一个单词是整体的一部分。
The word 'for': part of a word becomes fer, fer, fer you, fer me, fer dinner.
单词“for”:单词的一部分就变成了“fer,fer,fer you,fer me,fer dinner”。
Practice it this way. Drill it over and over.
以这种方式练习。一遍又一遍地训练。
Other words that can reduce: 'and' can become 'n'. 'Them' can become 'thum' or 'em'.
其他可以弱读的词:“and”可以变成“n”。“them”可以变成“thum”或“em”。
'At' can become 'ut'. 'To' can become 'tuh' or 'duh'. 'Can' can become 'kun', 'kun'.
“At”变成“ut”。“To”可以变成“tuh”或“duh”。“can”可以变成“kun”,“kun”。
'Are' can become 'er', 'er'. 'Was' can become 'wuz', 'wuz'. 'That' can become 'thut', 'thut'.
“Are”变成“er”,“er”。“Was”可以变成“wuz”,“wuz”。“That”可以变成“thut”,“thut”。
'Your' can become 'yer', 'yer'. 'At the' can become 'ut the', 'ut the'. And so on.
“Your”可以变成“yer”,“yer”。“At the”可以变成“ut the”,“ut the”。等等。
So keep an eye out for this as you're studying pronunciation and listening to native speakers.
所以在学习发音和听以母语为英语的人说话时要注意这一点。
