Today I'm going to talk about one particular word in terms of reduction.
今天我要来讲一个在略读方面很特别的单词。
Reduction is when a sound is dropped or changed in a word, and this happens quite frequently in unaccented syllables.
略读是指单词中的一个音省略或者改变，经常在非重读音节中发生。
The word today is the word 'for'.
今天的单词是“for”。
The word 'for' reduces to fer, fer. Very quick F, and then the schwa R sound. Fer. (loop two times)
单词“for”略读成fer，fer。很快的F音然后是弱元音R。“fer”（循环两次）
It will then link to the word that follows. Fer, for, fer.
它会和后面的单词连读。Fer，for，fer.

Example: I got it for you. (loop two times) fer (loop two times) fer you. I got it for you.
例如，I got it for you. （循环两次） fer （循环两次）fer you. I got it for you.
More examples: Can I have this cake? No, it's for tonight. Fer, (loop two times), it's for tonight.
再例如，Can I have this cake？No，it's for tonight. Fer，（循环两次） it's for tonight.

These flowers are for the wedding. Notice here the word 'are', before 'for', is also reduced. Rr fer (loop two times), these flowers are for the wedding.
These flowers are for the wedding. 注意这里单词“for”前面的“are”也进行了略读。Rr fer （循环两次），these flowers are for the wedding.
