and 有时可以用符号&来代替,有时还可以缩写成字母 n 的形式。and 能这么缩写,主要原因是它的弱化读音为[n],接近于字母 n 的读音。在电报和电传英语(尤其是电传英语)中,人们为了达到压缩单词或字母数量从而节约通讯开支的目的,就经常用 n 来代替 and。例如下面这句话 Please check up the matter and reply to us. 在电传文稿中通常就是 PLS CHCK N RPLY. And can sometimes be replaced by the symbol &, and sometimes it can be abbreviated to the form of the letter n. The main reason why and can be shortened is that its weakened pronunciation is [n], which is close to the pronunciation of the letter n. In telegraphy and telegraphy English (especially in televised English), people often use n instead of and in order to achieve the goal of reducing the number of words or letters to save on communication expenses. For example, the following sentence is Please check up the matter and reply to us. Usually it is PLS CHCK N RPLY.
