I can't believe it took us two hours to get here. The traffic in New York is unbelievable.

 Yeah, but just relax, honey. We are here and we're going on vacation in a few hours, we'll be in Hawaii. And you will be on the golf course.

 Oh, no. Look at that line. It must be a mile long. There's no way I'm waiting for another two hours. 

Honey, don't. 

Hey, man, the end of the line needs over there. Yeah, no, serious. I was here first. And you can't cut in line like this.

Like I told you before, we just don't have the resources to hire you an assistant. 

I understand that, but the fact is we are understaffed.

the timing  is just not right. The economy is bad and is too risky to take on new staff. 

Yeah, I guess you are right. Here is an idea. What if we hire an intern? She would take some of the weight off my shoulders. Yeah, you know, a recent graduate, she could give me a hand with some of these projects and we could keep our costs down.

That sounds reasonable. Let me see what I can do. Tony, I'd like to introduce you to your new assistant. 

OK, great. Let's meet her.

I'm Adam.

辅元连读以辅音音标结尾的单词，加上以元音音标开头的单词，两个音标辅音和元音之间发生连读现象，就叫做辅元连读。

good afternoon what is this in English 这种英语怎么说？it's a book。one of us。我们其中之一是 one of us

“An hour.” 的读音：英 [ən ˈaʊə(r)]，美 [ən ˈaʊər] ，意思是“一个小时”。“Let it go.” 的读音：英 [let ɪt ɡəʊ]，美 [let ɪt ɡoʊ] ，常见意思是“随它去吧；放手吧；算了吧” 。“Take it easy.” 的读音：英 [teɪk ɪt ˈiːzi]，美 [teɪk ɪt ˈiːzi] ，意思是“别紧张；放轻松；慢慢来” 。 

连读规则二，H、N、R、E 这四个字母出现在单词当中的时候不发音，也就是击穿。

你所说的这种情况是英语发音中的一种特殊现象，但并不是绝对地说这四个字母出现在单词中就一定不发音。以下是一些相关说明：- **字母h**：在一些单词中，h不发音，例如“hour”（小时）、“honest”（诚实的）、“honor”（荣誉）等。在这些单词中，h位于单词开头且后面紧跟元音字母，通常不发音。- **字母n**：一般情况下，n在单词中是发音的，但在“autumn”（秋天）等少数单词中，词尾的n不发音。不过这种情况相对较少见，不能一概而论地说n在单词中存在不发音的规则。- **字母r**：在英式英语中，当r在元音之后且后面没有元音时，r通常不发音，例如“car”（汽车）、“far”（远的）等单词，发音时r不发音，只发元音后的卷舌音。但在美式英语中，r通常发音。- **字母e**：在一些单词中，词尾的e不发音，其作用通常是使前面的元音字母发长音，例如“bike”（自行车）、“cake”（蛋糕）等。这里的e不发音，但它改变了前面元音字母的发音方式。需要注意的是，英语发音规则较为复杂，存在很多例外情况，不能简单地根据这几个字母就确定其一定不发音，需要结合具体单词和发音习惯来判断。

Hi, I'm Tony.

 I'd like to check in, please. I have a reservation under the name Anthony Roberts. 

Alright, Roberts. Oh, Mr Roberts. We've been expecting you and here's your keycard to the presidential suite.

 Are you sure? Let me double check.

 Yeah, here. This is my confirmation number.

All right, Mr Roberts, there seems to be a mix-up. Unfortunately, we're over booked at the moment.  not to worry. We're pleased to offer you a complimentary upgrade.
