學連音 說地道口語： ing endings → in'(音頻)

-ing endings → -in’

注意：對於絕大多數的 native speaker，他們並不是把所有的-ing 結尾的音都念作-in’。-in’ 是一種非正式的口語發音，通常用於動詞的進行時態。

Listen to each part of the conversation: first spoken with careful (slow) pronunciation; then spoken with relaxed (fast) pronunciation.

NANCY: Well, hi! You’re shopping here, too!

KIM: Not really. I’m just looking around. So, how have you been?

NANCY: Great. I’m shopping with my sister. She’s over there.

KIM: Is that your sister? The tall woman in front of the jackets?

NANCY: Yes. She’s looking for a jacket for work.

KIM: Are you shopping for work clothes, too?

NANCY: No. I’m looking for a pair of jeans like yours.

KIM: Oh. I found these here last week for 30 percent off.

NANCY: For 30 percent off? Thanks for telling me.

KIM: Well, nice seeing you again. I hope you find what you’re looking for.

Listen to the entire conversation again, spoken with relaxed (fast) pronunciation.

對話中所出現的此前學過的連音：you’re / your → yer ; yours → yers ; you → ya ; of → a ; for → fer

注意最後一句 "I hope you find what you're looking for." 由於 for 後面沒有其他單詞，所以它仍然唸作 for。
