we say and with a very open and clear /æ/ vowel

我们在说 and 时，会发一个非常开阔且清晰的 /æ/ 元音，

and a very clear duh at the end. And.

However,

in fast natural speech,

在快速自然的讲话中，

we almost never pronounce it like that because it's too strong. 語法

我们几乎从不那样发音，因为听起来太生硬了。

Instead,

相反，

we use what's called a weak form, 短語搭配

我们使用所谓的弱读形式，

where the vowel sound becomes softer and weaker.

即元音变得更柔和、更微弱。

So /ænd/ becomes /ənd/.

所以 /ænd/ 变成了 /ənd/。

More commonly,

you'll hear this reduced even further to just /ən/, 短語搭配

你会听到它进一步弱化为仅仅是 /ən/，

which is what we're going to practice today because that's much more common.

This is why you hear native English speakers saying things like fish 'n' chips 表達脈絡
