Susan Herman: 在日常口语中，我们经常会省略某些音节或声音，以使语言表达更加流畅自然。这种现象被称为Elision。作为一名语言分析师，我认为Elision在非正式语境中尤为常见，它可以帮助我们更快速、更高效地进行交流。例如，我们可能会说“prob'ly”而不是“probably”，或者省略词语开头的音节，如将“alone”说成“lone”。这些省略现象并非随意发生，而是遵循一定的规律。例如，元音省略通常发生在非重读音节上，而辅音省略则可能发生在单词的末尾或与其他辅音相邻的位置。此外，Elision并非一种新现象，它随着时间的推移而逐渐演变，并最终成为我们语言的一部分。通过了解Elision的类型和规律，我们可以更好地理解口语表达，并使自己的语音听起来更加自然地道。我认为，对于学习英语的同学来说，掌握Elision技巧是非常有帮助的，它可以帮助大家更好地融入英语环境，并提高口语表达能力。

The elision segment was by Susan K. Herman, a retired multidisciplined language analyst, editor, and instructor for the federal government.
