• “Yes, I’m in my car, parked nearby.”

3. 接线员的指示

（请保持安全距离，警察和救护车正在赶来。）
• “Stay on the line if you can.”
（请保持通话，如果可以的话。）

Do you…? 在日常美式口语里大多数情况下都会弱读成 /də yə/ 或更快的 /dʒə/。

所以在 Do you have a minute? 这种随口问邻居的情境，最自然的美式读法是：

• /dʒə hæv ə ˈmɪnət/ （更口语化、轻松的语速）

Asking a Neighbor for Help
向邻居寻求帮助

[Setting: Two neighbors meet in front of their houses.]
场景：两个邻居在房子前碰面

Emma: Hey, John. Got a minute?
嗨，约翰。有空吗？
John: Hey, Emma. Sure, what’s up?
嗨，艾玛。当然，怎么了？
Emma: My car won’t start, and I need to get to the grocery store.

Emma: Thanks, John. I really appreciate it.

John: Anytime. That’s what neighbors are for.
别客气。这就是邻居的意义。

说明

That’d 是 that would 的缩写。

在这句 “That’d be great.” 里，完整形式是：
That would be great.（那太好了 / 那真是太棒了）

口语里用 That’d（/ˈðæd/）更自然、更简短，美国人日常对话中几乎都会缩成这样。
如果是更正式的书面语，才会写完整的 That would。
