英语弱读(Reduction)主要针对功能词(如冠词 a/an、介词 for、助动词 do/have 等),实词(名词、动词、形容词等)通常重读,不弱读;
弱读时,功能词的元音常简化为 /ə/(如 a→/ə/、of→/əv/)或 /ɪ/(如 is→/ɪz/、did→/dɪd/);
部分常用搭配会进一步简化发音,如 want to→wanna、going to→gonna,让表达更自然省力;
弱读多在口语对话中使用,目的是让语流更流畅,正式书面语或强调语义时较少弱读。

Listen, repeat and do the role-play.
A: Tony, share with me your dream job, please.

A: How are you going to do that?

A: I want to be a scientist.
B: How are you going to do that?
A: I'm going to work harder at maths. Though it's difficult, I will never give up my dream.
