这个句子是在David Alan Stern的教材里摘录的句子。他的jump-up and step-down intonation很好。他说句子中重要的单词用jump-up in pitch 的方式来实现;结束的时候降低pitch。但我觉得除了降低pitch外,还要适当的加大音量,然后结束。
还是那上面的句子为例:
I am INterested in the Difference, the "IN"用高频来强调;鸟鸣叫的声音就是高频的声音(用鸟鸣发声的方法)。这儿的"DI"用加大音量来强调。也就是用狮吼的发声的方法。
英语句子结束降调的读法。
这个问题跟朋友讨论过,朋友基本同意,就是在结束的时候,那个重要的单词要读的音量大一点然后结束(the important word or syllable in the ending of an utterance should be read a little bit louder (in volume), then let the sound die away .

Knowledge base of frequency and amplitude regarding pitch and volume (for you informaiton):
· Wavelength; this is the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next.
· Frequency频率; this is the number of waves that pass a point in each second.
· Amplitude [物]振幅; this is the measure of the amount of energy in a sound wave, a measure of how big the wave is.
Pitch (对应的中文在这儿可为:频率,声频,音频(率),音调): 与声音的频率(frequency)有关。频率高则声音高,频率低则声音低。
频率是指物体震动的快慢(频率高,音调高,就是尖锐的声音);在单位时间内完成全震动的次数;频率的单位是赫兹(Hz)。
High-pitched: 单位时间内音频高(high-frequency vs. low-frequency)。
This is how high or low a sound seems. A bird makes a high pitch. A lion makes a low pitch.
Volume(音强):又称响度,取决于声音的幅度。于振幅(Amplitude)有关。也即振幅决定声音的大小和强弱。振幅就是物体震动的幅度(振幅大,响度大);振幅是震动物体离开平衡位置的最大距离,叫震动的振幅。单位是:m;用 A来表示。了oudness of sound (high volume): 音的振幅 (amplitude)大 (loud vs. soft)。
The amplitude of a wave is measured as:
- the height from the equilibrium point to the highest point of a crest or
- the depth from the equilibrium point to the lowest point of a trough
