Cadence is the rhythm or the rise-and-fall pattern in something — most often used for the sound of someone's voice as they speak (a nice "speaking cadence" rises and falls in a pleasant way), or for music, where a cadence is a short pattern of notes that feels like a resting or ending point in a phrase. It can also describe rhythm in other repeated movement, like the cadence of someone's or a soldier's marching cadence.
（說話、音樂的）節奏、韻律
組成No clean split; from Latin "cadere," meaning "to fall" (the "falling" feel of the rhythm at the end of a musical phrase).
