学连音 说地道口语：your / you're → yer (音频)
Native speaker在轻松的日常对话中，语调常不自觉加快而出现连音，这和课堂中所教授的标准英文是非常不一样的。这种连音在美剧中就比较常见，不少人由于不懂连音而听得一头雾水。要想说一口漂亮的地道口语，你就得学会说这些连音哦。
your / you're → yer
我们来听一段对话。在第一遍中，会将每句话先用较慢的语速念一遍，再用较快的语速念一遍；第二遍则是完整的快速对话。要注意快速状态下 your / you're 的连音发音哟。
Listen to each part of the conversation: first spoken with careful (slow) pronunciation; then spoken with relaxed (fast) pronunciation.
CARLOS: Maria? Maria Gonzalez? My gosh! Yer so tall now.
MARIA: Carlos! My old neighbor! Wow! Yer looking great.
CARLOS: Thanks. So ... how's yer family?
MARIA: They're fine. How about your family?
CARLOS: They're fine, too.
MARIA: That's good. Does yer mother still volunteer at a school?
CARLOS: Yes, she does.
MARIA: That's great. Yer mother's a really nice person.
CARLOS: Yer right. She is. So, does yer father still sing with his friends?
MARIA: Every weekend.
Listen to the entire conversation again, spoken with relaxed (fast) pronunciation.
大家有没有注意到MARIA的这句话，"They're fine. How about your family?" 中仍然说的是 your 而不是 yer ，这是因为如果在句子中需要强调 your / you're 时，它们就不再发成yer。此句中MARIA强调问：“你”家里如何？因此还是念做your。
