The use of the word is analogous to its use in verse, with its traditional metrical units of iambus, trochee, dactyl and so on.

节拍在此处用途与其在诗文中长音节抑扬短长等作用相似。

In that shoreless ocean, at thy silently listening smile my songs would swell in melodies, free as waves, free from all bondage of words.

在无边洋上，在你静听微笑中，我歌唱抑扬成，波般，不受字句束缚。

Of the kinds of words we have enumerated it may be observed that compounds are most in place in the dithyramb, strange words in heroic, and metaphors in iambic poetry.

在上面所列举词种类中，我们可以看到复合词最常出现在酒神颂里，外来词最常出现在英雄诗里，隐喻最常出现在抑扬格诗歌里。
