短释义
Think of the class of song birds known as warblers. They have great songs, but they don’t sound quite human. They trill, whistle, vibrate and constantly change pitch. That’s a warble. Done well, a human warble can be as engaging as it is difficult. But an old lady with unsteady lungs and vocal chords may also warble, and it is neither deliberate nor very pleasing to the ears.
颤音是指用不均匀、颤抖的声音唱歌。如果你用颤音演唱歌曲,你就不会赢得任何歌唱比赛。
