In this American English Pronunciation video, we're going to go over the reduction of YOUR.
在这节美式英语发音视频中，我们将要学习“your”的略读。
Both YOU'RE the contraction and YOUR the pronoun will sound great when reduced to 'yer' in a sentence.
缩略形式“you're”和代词“your”在句子里略读成“yer”时听起来都很好听。
So, we're keeping the Y consonant sound, but then we're reducing the vowel sound to the schwa.
所以，我们留住辅音Y，然后把元音弱读成弱元音。
Since it's followed by the R, we don't really need to think of the schwa as being a separate sound. It's sort of taken over by the R, and it's just the er, er sound.
因为它后面是R，所以我们不需要把弱元音当成一个单独的音。相当于由R所取代，只是er音。
Just one sound. So, we have yy, er (loop two times), yer (loop two times).
只有一个音。所以我们会发成yy，er （循环两次），yer （循环两次）。

You'll notice also that the word is very quick. It's going to be lower in pitch and flatter than other words in the sentence.
你可能会注意到这个单词发音很快，比句子中其他单词更低沉平缓。
This is what happens to reduced words: yer (loop three times).
这就是略读之后会产生的效果。yer（循环三次）
To make the Y sound, the tongue tip is here, and the front part of the tongue is touching the roof of the mouth here, yy (loop two times), pressing there.
为了发出Y的音，舌尖在这里，舌头的前部抵住上颚这里，yy（循环两次）
To make the R, the tongue will also touch the roof of the mouth, but it's further back.
为了发出R的音，舌头依然抵住上颚，但是伸地更长，
So, rather than the front part of the tongue reaching here, it's the middle part of the tongue that will reach here.
所以是舌头中部抵住这里而不是舌头前部。
The front part of the tongue won't be touching anything for the R.Yer (loop two times).
发R音时，舌头的前部不会触碰任何地方。yer（循环两次）
Notice also, we don't need much jaw drop for either of these sounds: yer (loop two times).
另外需要注意的是，这两个音都不需要下巴太张开。yer（循环两次）
Let's go over some examples.
我们来看一些例子。
What's your name? Yer (loop three times). Your name (loop two times). What's your name?
What's your name？Yer（循环两次）. Your name （循环两次）. What's your name？
It's for your project. Yer (loop two times), your project. It's for your project.
It's for your project. Yer（循环两次），your project. It's for your project.
Can I borrow your car? Yer (loop two times), your car (loop two times). Can I borrow your car?
Can I borrow your car？Yer （循环两次），your car （循环两次）. Can I borrow your car？
You're doing great. Yer (loop two times), you're doing, you're doing great.
You're doing great. Yer （循环两次），you're doing，you're doing great.
You're in the lead. Yer (loop two times), you're in the (loop two times), you're in the lead.
You're in the lead. Yer （循环两次），you're in the （循环两次），you're in the lead.
It's too bad you're not feeling well. Yer (loop two times), you're not (loop two times). It's too bad you're not feeling well.
It's too bad you're not feeling well. Yer （循环两次），you're not （循环两次）. It's too bad you're not feeling well.
Using this reduction in your speech, yer (loop two times), your speech,
在你讲话时运用这个略读，yer（循环两次），your speech，
will help smooth out your speech and provide some nice rhythmic contrast to the longer, stressed syllables in the sentence.
将会令你的讲话更流畅，也会和句子中长的重读音节形成很好的节奏对比。
