Well, the piano is just playing chords, playing them in octave successions, and we'll talk about that a little bit more too.

钢琴弹奏了和弦,一连串的八度音,这部分,我们今后也会继续探讨

The first of the triad--this is a term that we'll be going over today--is called the what?

该和弦的第一个音，这个术语我们今天将会讲解，叫做什么？

So this one happens to begin with a sort of dominant chord.

所以这段是从某种属音和弦开始的。

It gets more dissonant, . the more notes that you add there.

加的音越多，和弦就越不和谐。

So if you hear two chords rocking, it's probably tonic and dominant.

如果你听到有两个和弦，这有可能是主音和属音。

We're not going to get into that 'cause that takes us into heavy-duty music theory, but it's--if we don't have root position then we've got some other note of the triad in the bass, and we've got some kind of chord inversion, so that's what that particular term means up there.

我们就不深究这个问题了，这是一个冗长的音乐理论，但是如果没有了原位，三和弦的低音被另一个音所替代，这就是一种和弦转位，这就是这个词在这里的意思。

C E G Supposing we didn't go C,E,G, C E G C but we decided to start with the E,G and then put the C up on top,C,E,G,C.

We've got some chords set out and we're going to-- we've got some chords set out here and we're in the key of C at this point, and we're going to hear Beethoven go to a tonic chord, then a sub-dominant chord, then a tonic chord, then a dominant chord and so on.

我们看到有一些和弦-,而我们现在在C调的位置上，然后听贝多芬的主音和弦，然后是次属音和弦，然后是主音和弦，接着是属音和弦，如此往复。

So we can build triads on each of the members of the scale, and we said that some of these chords tend to be used a lot more than others, that the tonic is very important, the dominant is important, the sub-dominant right next to and below the dominant is important, and we're going to be talking about the VI chord today.

那么我们能够在音阶的各个音上建立三和弦，而且我们说过有些和弦将会比其它的运用更为普遍，基音，I和弦，属音，V和弦，都很重要，紧靠属音的下属音也很重要，我们今天就要讲讲VI和弦。
