Pitch and Volume(3) - Volume raising to conclude a sentence

 

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:

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
