1. 1和(口語;rock 'n' roll、fish 'n' chips 裡常見)

    This little 'n' is and, said so short that only the n sound is left. You meet it in set names and signs: rock 'n' roll, fish 'n' chips, pick 'n' mix. The on both sides show that and has been squeezed in the middle. Shops and song titles like this spelling because it feels quick and fun. Though actually, it is not a special kind of and with a new meaning — it is only and in a tight space. You would not write my mother 'n' I in a school story; you would write and.

    這個小小的 'n' 就是 and,講得很快,只剩下 n 的音。它常見於固定名稱和招牌,例如「rock 'n' roll」「fish 'n' chips」「pick 'n' mix」。兩邊的撇號表示中間的 and 被省略了。店家和歌名喜歡用它,因為看起來輕快、好玩。

    它不是有新意思的特殊連接詞,只是 and 在很緊的空間裡的縮寫。寫作文或正式文件時,像「my mother 'n' I」這樣的寫法不合適,還是要寫 and。

組成and with almost every sound dropped except n. Apostrophes mark the missing bits on both sides.
