Where did you get those flowers? I got them at the farmer's market.
你从哪买到这些花的？我从农夫市场买的。
Did you notice how I pronounced the word 'them'? I dropped the TH entirely. 'Em (loop two times).This is great news for people who have a hard time with the TH.
你有注意到我是怎么发“them”这个单词的音的吗？我完全省略掉了th，'Em（循环两次）这对难以发“th”音的朋友是个好消息。
In this American English pronunciation video, I'm going to go over the pronunciation of the word 'them' in conversation.
在这节美式英语发音视频中，我要讲讲对话中单词“them”的发音。
There are lots of words in American English that will sound different when they're part of a sentence than they do on their own.
美式英语里有很多单词单独发音和在句子中的发音不同。
'Them' is one of these words.
“them”就是这样一个单词。

The word 'them' on its own is pronounced with the voiced TH, th(loop two times), tongue tip just through the teeth, the-, the 'eh' as in 'bed' vowel.
“them”单独发音时，先是th的音，th（循环两次），舌尖伸出牙齿，the-，然后是“bed”里面的元音eh
So the jaw will have to drop quite a bit for that: the- (loop two times). And finally, the M consonant. Them, mm (loop three times).
所以下巴会因此下降不少。the-（循环两次）。最后是辅音M。Them，mm（循环三次）
Lips come together to make that sound. Them.But, as part of a sentence, the vowel will reduce to the schwa. Them (loop two times).
嘴唇合起来发那个音。Them. 但是，在一个句子中，元音将会弱读为弱元音。them（循环两次）
All of a sudden, the word is very short, them, and very flat---them (loop two times)---compared to before: them (loop two times).
和之前相比，them（循环两次）单词很短，很平，them（循环两次）
But, it can reduce even further. We can drop the TH and have just 'em (loop three times). The schwa and the M sound.
但是，还可以略读的更多。我们可以省略掉th，只发弱元音和M的音，'em（循环三次）
As always, when you reduce a word, you have to link it to the words around, so let's look at some example sentences.
和大多数情况一样，略读单词时要把单词和前后的单词进行连读。我们来看一些例子。
I'll take them with me. Take 'em (loop two times). So, the K sound is linking right up to that schwa. Take 'em (loop two times). I'll take them with me.
I'll take them with me. Take 'em（循环两次）. 所以，K的发音直接和弱元音连起来了。Take 'em（循环两次）. I'll take them with me.
I'll get them later. Get 'em (loop two times).Do you notice that the T here is not a true T? It's a flap T.Why?
I'll get them later. Get 'em （循环两次）.你有注意到这里的T并不是清音T，而是闪音T吗？为什么？
Because when we connect the schwa-M sound, the T now comes between two vowels. Get 'em (loop two times). I'll get 'em later.
因为当我们把弱元音和M连接起来的时候，T就成了两个元音之间的发音。Get 'em（循环两次）I'll get 'em later.
I gave them to you last night. Gave 'em (loop three times). Again, no break between the V and the schwa. Gave 'em. I gave them to you last night.
I gave them to you last night. Gave 'em（循环三次）. 也是一样，在V和弱元音之间没有间隔。Gave 'em. I gave them to you last night.
You can have them. Have 'em (loop three times). You can have them.We can buy them later. Buy 'em (loop three times). We can buy them later.
You can have them. Have 'em （循环三次）. You can have them.We can buy them later. Buy 'em（循环三次）. We can buy them later.
Reducing a word and linking it to the words around is a great opportunity to smooth out your speech and sound more American.
略读和连读是使你的讲话更流利听起来更美式的一个好机会。
So don't be afraid to pronounce 'them' this way.That's it, and thanks so much for using Rachel's English.
所以不要害怕用这样的方式发音。这次的学习就到这里，非常感谢使用Rachel's English。
