used to refer to a rhythm (= pattern of words) used in poetry, in which each short syllable that is not stressed is followed by a long or stressed syllable(诗歌)短长格的;抑扬格的(诗歌的韵律模式,短促的非重读音节后跟有长的重读音节)
Most of Shakespeare's verse is written in iambic pentameter(= rhythm with each line made of five iambic pairs).莎士比亚的大部分诗歌都是以抑扬五音步写成的,每行诗都由五对抑扬格组成。
