Last but not least is Mai's intonation, she does intonate, which means that her voice goes up down as she gives her responses.

最后，但同等重要的是 Mai 的语调，她确实有语调变化，这意味着她在回答问题时声调会上升下降。

James could understand his wife when she asked if he wanted cereal for breakfast, but he could only respond by repeating the word " too" — although he could still intonate as though he were speaking a whole sentence.

当妻子问詹姆斯早餐是否想吃麦片时，詹姆斯能听懂她的话，但他只能重复“太”这个词来回答——尽管他仍然可以像说一整句话发出一样的语调。
