    1. I choose to think of it as the pre-chorus now typically the pre-chorus comes after the verse and before the chorus here there is no chorus that follows it it just goes straight into verse two but that's not totally unheard of in pop music and rock and things like that and the next time the pre-chorus happens it does lead into the chorus so I justify that

      pre-chorus 前副歌

      通常銜接副歌,但此處第一次出現後,又立即回到主歌。這在流行曲和搖滾樂並不少見。

    2. so so far the whole tune has been an unnatural minor but in that verse Paul McCartney switches from a natural minor to e Dorian mode and the two scales are a little bit different so here's a Dorian mode it's identical to E natural minor except for this this sixth scale degree so an e natural minor it's C natural you need Dorian it's C sharp and that's a subtle change but it does change the mood quite a bit

      mode 調式

      Dorian 多利安調式,最接近 Aeolian/自然小調,但是較不全盤悲傷憂鬱,因為有那一個突出的升高半音的第六音。

      想想 Scarborough Fair 的第二個樂句,本來以爲是自然小調,但聽到 35653#423 -> 應換成多利安來思考,於是變成 61216756 (不再有臨時升降記號)。全曲應該改成多利安調式的思考:第一樂句於是從自然小調 663337176 變成 226663432。很妙吧!

    3. that one all of a sudden instead of falling on the downbeat falls on beat three right in the middle of the bar

      (四四拍小節)第三拍:不能稱爲 downbeat(只能指第一拍),這是「次強拍」。
