For example, "gonna" is a short form of "going to". If you say "going to" very fast, without carefully pronouncing each word, it can sound like "gonna".
比如,“gonna”是“going to”(将要)的缩写形式。如果你非常快速地说“going to”,没有仔细地读每个单词,听起来就像“gonna”。
Please remember that these are informal contractions. That means that we do not use them in "correct" speech, and we almost never use them in writing. (If you see them in writing, for example in a comic strip, that is because the written words represent the spoken words or dialogue.) We normally use them only when speaking fast and casually, for example with friends. Some people never use them, even in informal speech.
请记住这些是非正式缩写形式。这意味着我们不在“正确的”言语中使用它们,几乎从不在书面中使用它们。(如果你在书面语中,比如连环漫画中,看到它们,这是因为这里的书面词句代表口语词句或对话。)通常我们只在快速随意说话时使用它们,比如跟朋友说话时。一些人从不使用非正式缩写形式,即使是在非正式言语中。
It is probably true to say that informal contractions are more common in American English.
可以说非正式缩写形式在美式英语中更常见。
Also note that, unlike normal contractions, we do not usually use apostrophes (') with informal contractions when written.
也请注意,我们在书面中使用非正式缩写形式时通常不使用缩写号,这与书面中正式缩写形式使用缩写号不同。
Listed below are some common informal contractions, with example sentences. Note that the example sentences may be a little artificial because when we use a contraction we may also use other contractions in the same sentence, or even drop some words completely. For example:
以下为一些带有例句的常见非正式缩写形式。注意例句可能有一点不真实,因为例句中当我们使用某缩写形式时还可能使用其他缩写形式,甚至完全舍去同样的单词。比如:
What are you going to do? 你要做什么?
Whatcha going to do?
Whatcha gonna do?
Do you want a beer? 你想喝杯啤酒吗?
Do you wanna beer?
D'you wanna beer?
D'ya wanna beer?
Ya wanna beer?
Wanna beer?
