i reached the city.中的ed与the如何读呀?

In most dialects in both the US and the UK, "reached the" would be pronounced [ri:tʃðə] before a consonant, or [ri:tʃðiː] before a vowel. That is, the 't' would be elided. In this case, ['reached the' city] would be pronounced [ri:tʃðə]这里可以选择两个词单个读 也可以连读 但是通常英国和美国人基本都连着读把 t 省略掉

不冲突，所以不能省，多练练舌头会通顺些

其实这两个音都不能省，但连读的时候ed的t清辅音可以不完全爆破，就是含糊一些。
