Voice

你喜欢录音你自己的声音并且听一听吗？

        你喜欢你自己的声音吗？

这两道题的思路都可以围绕 声音的特质 去展开，在英语中，同样存在很多和中文类似的对声音的比喻，比如“Silvery” “smoky”，通过字面意思其实就能猜出对应声音的特点。

        你的声音变过吗？

With the onset of puberty, both men and women's voices alter. The height of the male larynx becomes much greater than in women. The size and development of adult lungs also changes what the voice is physically capable of doing. From the onset of puberty, the human voice is in an in-between phase where it is not quite a child's voice nor an adult one yet. This is not to suggest that the voice stops changing after puberty.
