英语语音语调
轻重相间
在英语口语中，重读音节之间的间隔时间要相当，节奏要轻重相间，有轻有重读起来才有节奏感，如文中此句：Serve is something I'm good at.其中.serve，something，good可重读，与其他词构成轻重相间。又如：
Diana and I are good friends.
我和黛安娜是好朋友。(其中Diana，I.good可重读，与其他词构成轻重相间。)
I want you to know it.
我想让你知道。(其中want，know可重读，与其他词构成轻重相间。)
Where do you live?
你住哪里?(其中where、live可重读，与其他词构成轻重相间。)
