The word 'and'. It's a function word, and often not given much time in a sentence. In fact, sometimes it's reduced simply to the NN sound, like in this sentence.
单词“and”是一个功能词，在句子中经常不会占用太多时间。事实上，有时它会简单地略读为NN，就像在这句里。
And I'm going to have my friends there, and we're going to relax and enjoy and have a good time. (loop two times)
我会和我的朋友一起去那儿，放松享受，愉快地度过。（循环两次）
So in this video, we'll focus on the word 'and'.
所以在这节课，我们会讲解单词“and”。
The word 'and' is a conjunction, and conjunctions are function words.
单词“and”是个连词，连词是功能词。
This means it will generally be unstressed in a sentence, and sometimes even reduced.
这就意味着在一个句子中它是一个非重读单词，有时候甚至会略读。
If you just say the word 'and' on its own, it is pronounced with the 'aa' as in 'bat' vowel, the N consonant sound, and the D consonant. And.
如果你只是单独说单词“and”，它的(aa)发音就像单词“bat”里面的元音，加上辅音N和D的发音。“and”。
Now, when this 'aa' vowel is followed by a nasal consonant (that would be N, M, or NG) , the vowel sound does change a little bit.
当元音(aa)后面是鼻辅音（可能是N，M或者NG）时，元音发音会有一点变化。
There's an 'uh' kind of sound that happens between the vowel and the consonant. Aa-uh-nnd. And. (loop two times)
在元音和辅音中间会有一种类似“uh”的发音。Aa-uh-nnd. “and”（循环两次）。

So the word, on its own, and. But, let's check out the word 'and' in real conversation.
所以单词“and”单独发音是这样。但是，让我们来看一下它在真实对话中的发音。
And I'd like a side of bacon. And I'd like a side of bacon. Did you notice how I didn't pronounce the D in the word 'and'?
我想要一片培根。我想要一片培根。你有注意到我并没有发出单词中“d”的音吗？
Let's listen again. And I'd like a side of bacon. An'I'd (loop two times).
我们再来听一遍。And I'd like a side of bacon. An'I'd（循环两次）。
It's really important with function words, especially when we reduce something, that we link them to the words that come around them.
当我们略读时，把功能词和它们前后的词连读是很重要的。
An'I'd (loop two times), an'I'd like.Let's look at another example. And then my bacon is nice and thick. Nice n' thick.
An'I'd （循环两次），an'I'd like.我们再看一个例子。然后我的培根很好，厚实。很好，厚实。
Did you notice how here I not only dropped the D, but I dropped the vowel sound altogether? Nn (loop two times).
你有没有注意到这里我不仅省略了“d”，还把元音也一起省略了？Nn （循环两次）
Pretty much just the N consonant sound tying those two words together.
几乎是辅音“n”把这两个词连起来了。
Let's look again. And then my bacon is nice and thick. The word 'and' can reduce to 'an', or nn, also the schwa-N sound, uhn, as in this example.
我们再来听一遍。然后我的培根很好，厚实。单词“and”可以略读成“an”，或者“nn”，或者弱读N的音，uhn，就像这个例子。
He puts that on and then he puts this on. (loop two times)
他放上了那个，然后又放上了这个。（循环两次）
So, the word 'and' in everyday conversation will probably reduce to 'an' or simply nn. And it will link to the words around it.
所以日常对话中的单词“and”可能会略读成“an”或者简单的“nn”。并会和前后的词连起来。
Because it is unstressed, it will also be low in pitch and said very quickly. Saying 'and' this way will smooth out speech and make it sound more natural.
因为这是非重读音，所以发音时会音调低沉迅速。用这种方法说“and”会使我们的讲话更加流利自然。
Let's take a look at some more examples. My mom and I will be there. My mom'n, my mom'n, my mom'n I, mom'n I, My mom and I will be there.
我们再来看一些例子。My mom and I will be there. My mom'n，my mom'n，my mom'n I，mom'n I，My mom and I will be there.
I'm taking off Monday and Tuesday. Monday'n, Monday'n, Monday and Tuesday. I'm taking off Monday and Tuesday.
我星期一和星期二飞行。 周一，周一，周一和周二。 我星期一和星期二飞行。
I'll take this one and that one. This one'n, this one'n, I'll take this one and that one.
我会拿这个和那个。 这一个，这个，我会拿这个和那个。
And now it's over. An'now, an', and now it's over.
现在结束了。 现在，已经结束了。
