Hello, I'm John Russell.
大家好，我是约翰·罗素。
In previous videos, we explored intonation the up and down movement of the voice.
在前面的视频中，我们探讨了语调，声音的升调和降调。
You learned about how Americans use rising intonation at the end of some sentences and following intonation at the end of other sentences.
你学习了美国人如何在一些句子的末尾使用升调，以及在其他句子的末尾使用降调。
But what about intonation within sentences?
但是句子中间的语调呢?
In longer statements, statements that have more than one clause Americans often use both rising and falling intonation.
在有多个从句的较长的陈述句中，美国人经常同时使用升调和降调。
It's like a ball sports, tennis or basketball.
就像球类运动，网球或篮球。
The ball goes up and down.
球上下运动。
The same motion is true in everyday speech.
日常生活中也是如此。
Listen to this example: I want to play tennis, but I have to finish my homework first.
听这个例子：我想打网球，但我必须先完成作业。
I want to play tennis, but I have to finish my homework first.
我想打网球，但我必须先完成作业。
Notice that my intonation rises at the end of the first clause. "I want to play tennis."
注意我的语调在第一个从句的末尾是升调，“我想打网球”。
And my intonation falls at the end of the second clause."But I have to finish my homework first."
我的语调在第二从句的末尾是降调，“但我必须先完成作业”。
Consider this example: If he studies hard, he will pass the test. If he studies hard, he will pass the test.
看这个例子：如果他努力学习，他会通过考试的。如果他努力学习，他会通过考试的。
We also use this same general idea in sentences with introductory words.
我们也在带有引言的句子中也遵循这个原则。
For example: By the way, who told you that? By the way, who told you that?
例如：顺便问一下，这是谁告诉你的？顺便问一下，这是谁告诉你的？
Notice that my intonation rises after the introductory words, "By the way" and falls at the end of the main part of the sentence: "who told you that?"
注意我的语调在引言“By the way”之后上升，而在句子的主要部分“who told you that?”下降。
That's all for today. Keep up the good work.
以上就是今天的全部内容了，继续加油吧。
