An odd meter is a meter which contains both simple and compound beats.
（奇數拍包含簡單節奏和複雜節奏）
Next, we will discuss odd meters with three total beats.
（下面我們來看一下包含三拍的奇數拍）
7/8 time contains two simple beats and one compound beat.
（八七拍包含兩個簡單拍和一個複合拍）
Again, the order of the beats does not matter.
（同樣，就算它們出現的順序不同，它還是八七拍）
The compound beat can even be positioned between two simple beats.
（複合拍還可以放在兩個簡單拍之間）
8/8 time contains two compound beats and one simple beat.
（八八拍包含兩個複合拍和一個簡單拍）
Sometimes, people confuse 8/8 with 4/4, since both meters have 8 eighth notes.
（有時人們會把四四拍和八八拍弄混）
Our last two odd meters have a total of four beats.
（最後我們來看一下包含四拍的兩個節奏）
10/8 time has two compound beats and two simple beats.
（八十拍包含兩個複合拍和兩個簡單拍）
11/8 time has three compound beats and one simple beat.
（八十一拍包含三個複合拍和一個簡單拍）
