An odd meter is a meter which contains both simple and compound beats.
（奇数拍包含简单节奏和复杂节奏）
Next, we will discuss odd meters with three total beats.
（下面我们来看一下包含三拍的奇数拍）
7/8 time contains two simple beats and one compound beat.
（八七拍包含两个简单拍和一个复合拍）
Again, the order of the beats does not matter.
（同样，就算它们出现的顺序不同，它还是八七拍）
The compound beat can even be positioned between two simple beats.
（复合拍还可以放在两个简单拍之间）
8/8 time contains two compound beats and one simple beat.
（八八拍包含两个复合拍和一个简单拍）
Sometimes, people confuse 8/8 with 4/4, since both meters have 8 eighth notes.
（有时人们会把四四拍和八八拍弄混）
Our last two odd meters have a total of four beats.
（最后我们来看一下包含四拍的两个节奏）
10/8 time has two compound beats and two simple beats.
（八十拍包含两个复合拍和两个简单拍）
