Vertical black bars called bar lines divide the staff into measures.(这些黑色的竖线叫做小节线,它们把五线谱分成小节))
This staff has been split into two measures.(这个五线谱被分成了两个小节)
Time signatures define the amount and type of notes that each measure contains.(拍号定义了每一个小节中包含的音符类型和音符数量)
The first measure is in 4/4 time and the second measure is in 3/4 time.(第一个小节的拍号是四四拍,第二个小节是四三拍)
The first measure (4/4) contains four quarter notes.(第一个小节应包含四个四分音符)
The second measure (3/4) contains three quarter notes.(第二个小节应包含三个四分音符)
Next, we will discuss non-quarter-note time signatures.(下面我们看一下非四分音符的拍号)
6/8 time contains six eighth notes.(八六拍的一小节包含四个八分音符)
3/2 time contains three half notes.(二三拍包含三个二分音符)
This chart displays all of the time signatures that we discussed.(这是我们本课学习的所有拍号)
