There is an intonation in each syllable of the English speech. The tones falls on each note of the primary chord in each key. But ordinary native English speakers deliver their speech at C. It’s supposed to be the greatest discovey about the intonations of the language of English within this century. –Dave, No. 1 Soul in China’s English World 英语语流中的每个音节都有一个语调, 音调落在每个调子的主和弦的每个音符上, 但是普通的以英语为母语的人用C调讲话。我们认为这是本世纪对英语语调的最大发现。——中国英语世界第一人戴孚
