It's amazing how this can help you with seeing how much is in the language, connected speech, weak forms.

So there's one stress, and then the other vowels may sometimes be replaced with the schwa.

所以有一个，然后其元有时可能会被弱替代。

Elision of schwa after the first stressed syllable.

节后的弱省略。

So, you may be thinking or asking, " Keith, what are these small words that have a weak form and a strong form? "

“基斯，这些有弱和强的小词都有哪些？”

Z is voiced and that's considered a weaker sound, and so the stronger sound S takes over that Z, sort of cancels it out.

Z 是浊，是一个弱，所以强 S 吞了 Z ，就像把它消掉了。

So the reason this happens is we have this sound called " schwa" in English, and we use it all the time.

所以这种情况发生的原因是，在英语中有一种叫做“弱”的声，我们经常使用它。

But did you know, 90% of the time we don't stress the word and we don't use the strong form, we use the weak form exactly.

但是你知道吗，90%的时间我们不读这个词，我们不使用强形式，我们使用弱形式。

So you can thank the schwa sound in British English for elision and how words are not said the way they look, which can be a really confusing aspect of our pronunciation.

所以你可以感谢英式英语中的弱，它导致了省略，使得单词的发与它们的拼写不同，这可能是我们发中最让人困惑的部分。

And that means that the way the word is spelled and the way we say the word is often very different, as you will see, because schwa doesn't have its own letter in the alphabet.

这意味着单词的拼写方式和我们说这个词的方式往往非常不同，正如你将看到的，因为弱在字母表中没有自己的字母。
