          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/。

          • /də yə hæv ə ˈmɪnət/(标准弱读)
          • /dʒə hæv ə ˈmɪnət/ (更口语化、轻松的语速)

          Asking About Breakfast
          询问早餐事宜


          Guest: Good morning. I have a question about breakfast.
          客人:早上好,我想问一下关于早餐的事。
          Receptionist: Sure. What would you like to know?
          接待员:好的,请问您想了解什么?
          Guest: What time does breakfast start?
          客人:早餐几点开始?
          Receptionist: It starts at 6:30 a.m. and ends at 10 a.m.
          接待员:早上六点半开始,十点结束。
          Guest: Great. And where is it served?
          客人:好的,那在哪里用餐呢?
          Receptionist: It’s in the restaurant on the second floor.
          接待员:在二楼的餐厅。
          Guest: Do I need to make a reservation?
          客人:需要提前预订吗?
          Receptionist: No, you don’t. Just show your room key when you enter.
          接待员:不需要,进餐厅时出示房卡就可以了。
          Guest: Got it. Thanks for your help.
          客人:明白了,谢谢你的帮忙。
          Receptionist: You’re welcome. Enjoy your breakfast!
          接待员:不客气,祝您用餐愉快!

          Do I need to make a reservation?
          /du aɪ nid tə meɪk ə ˌrɛzərˈveɪʃən/
          do 读成了完整的 /du/,没有弱读。

          这就是一个很典型的现象:

          • do陈述句里几乎一定弱读(/də/ 或 /du/ 很轻),
          • 但在一般疑问句开头时,美式英语里很多人会读成相对完整的 /du/,尤其是正式、清晰、礼貌的场合,比如酒店前台、客服对话。
          • 如果是在朋友间快速聊天,就很可能弱读成 /də/。

          所以:

          • 你给的音标是 清晰读法(完整 /du/)
          • 如果要标注更口语化、日常随意的版本,可以写成 /də/
