How to read a quotation with omission?

English Language & Usage Asked by Markson Chen on December 8, 2020

How can you read (orally) a quotation that has some parts omitted with ellipsis points?

For example, consider the following sentences:

The original sentence:

"To read a quotation with omission — that is, a quotation with one or more ellipses that indicates an omission — can be very confusing."

The quoted version:

"To read a quotation with omission … can be very confusing" (stackexchange.com).

How can I read the quoted version above, in a presentation? Should I just skip the ellipsis?
