  Call means to raise your voice to get someone's attention or summon them, often over some distance; it does not necessarily imply anger, fear or great volume like yell or scream.

  Yell means to shout loudly because of a strong emotion such as anger, fear or excitement; it is often directed at a person and can sound harsh or aggressive.

• scream

  Scream describes a loud, high-pitched cry, often involuntary, caused by a strong feeling such as fear, pain or intense excitement; it is more piercing than yell or shout.

  scream 表示因强烈情绪（如恐惧、疼痛或极度兴奋）而发出的响亮尖锐的叫声，往往是不由自主的，比 yell 或 shout 更尖锐刺耳。

  孩子们在游乐场兴奋得尖叫起来。

• shout

  Shout is the most general term: to speak in a loud, raised voice so as to be heard at a distance, without necessarily implying anger or fear.

  shout 是最通用的词，指提高音量说话以便让人在较远处也能听到，不一定带有愤怒或恐惧等情绪。

Call, yell, scream, and shout all mean raising your voice. Yell and scream show strong emotion, like anger or fear. Shout is neutral, just loud enough to be heard. Call means calling from a distance for attention. Call's phone and name senses aren't compared.

这几个词都表示提高音量说话或喊叫，但语气强弱和使用场合不同；yell 和 scream 通常带有强烈情绪（愤怒、恐惧、兴奋），scream 更尖锐刺耳，shout 语气较中性，只强调声音大以便被听到，call 则常指从远处出声引起某人注意或叫某人过来，不一定带有情绪或很大音量。此处不比较 call 的“打电话”或“称呼”等其他义项。
