- 1切分的（節奏重音落在弱拍上）；syncopated rhythm 就是台灣音樂課說的「切分音節奏」。
Syncopated describes music whose rhythm pushes against the beat. In a normal bar you feel a steady strong-weak, strong-weak, and the important notes land on the strong beats. In syncopated music the notes land on the weak beats instead, or just before or after where you expect them — so the music tugs at you and makes you want to move. Jazz, ragtime, funk, and most pop rhythms are syncopated; a school march or a nursery song usually is not. It is a describing word for the music, not for a person: you can say 'a syncopated rhythm', 'a syncopated beat', 'a heavily syncopated bassline'. Outside music it is rare, though a writer may borrow it for anything with an off-balance, pattern — 'the syncopated tapping of rain'. That use is a stretch on purpose, and it sounds literary.
組成From the verb syncopate, plus the -ed ending that turns a verb into a describing word. Syncopate itself comes from a Greek word for cutting something short — the beat is, in a sense, cut into.
