Pitch and Volume(2) - High-pitched for emphasis of words within

Pitch and Volume(2) - High-pitched for emphasis of words within a sentence

 

举个例子：

I am INterested in the DIfference,

这儿的"DI"用加大音量来过渡到结束。狮吼的声音就是大音量大声音。

I am VERY Happy to MEET you.

前者high pitch, 后者high volume.

大家注意到没有，这个是INterested用升高pitch来表示强调的，也就是读成高频来强调。在这里再加一点，

在句子中强调的音节时通常用高频的方式来实现，句子结束时强调的音节用音量的加大来实现。也就是说在句中的重要单词偏重于使用高频来实现强调；句末的重要单词往往使用高音量来衬托结束。

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:

1. the height from the equilibrium point to the highest point of a crest or
2. the depth from the equilibrium point to the lowest point of a trough
