同一个键,
为什么音程名不同?Same piano key.
Why a different interval name?
从C4出发,E4与Fb4在十二平均律钢琴上是同一个键,但C到E经过3个字母,C到F经过4个。From C4, E4 and Fb4 reach the same key on an equal-tempered piano. Yet C to E spans 3 letters; C to F spans 4.
先猜:把E4改写成Fb4,会改变下面哪一种计数?Predict: when E4 is respelled Fb4, which count below changes?
起点固定,只改终点写法Fix the start; change the written endpoint
#表示升高1个半音,b表示降低1个半音;Fb4是F4降低半音。此图只比较列出的上行或同音例子。# raises by 1 semitone; b lowers by 1. Fb4 is F4 lowered a semitone. This model compares only the listed ascending or unison cases.
① 数字母,两端都数① Count letters, including both ends
- C
- D
- E
3度 / third
这里先忽略升降号,保留字母与八度位置。数的是包含几个字母,不是走了几步。Ignore accidentals for this count, retaining letters and octave position. Count included letters, not the gaps between them.
② 数半音,从0出发② Count semitones from 0
这是音高阶梯,不是实体键盘;向上每格增加1个半音。★为终点,●为起点。A pitch ladder, not a physical keyboard. Each step upward adds 1 semitone. ★ marks the endpoint; ● marks the start.

C4 → E4:3度,4个半音,所以是大三度。 / C4 → E4: third, 4 semitones; a major third.
把两个结果合起来,才得到完整名称Combine the counts to name the interval
C4到E4是大三度。C4到Fb4有同样的4个半音,却跨4个字母,所以是减四度。相同琴键在相同条件下发出相同音高;单靠声音听不出它写成E还是Fb。C4 to E4 is a major third. C4 to Fb4 has the same 4 semitones but spans 4 letters, making it a diminished fourth. The same keys under the same conditions give the same pitches; sound alone cannot reveal E versus Fb spelling.

本图不发声,不测试听力,也不模拟手指动作。等音关系限于本例的十二平均律;其他调律与演奏语境需要另谈。No sound, hearing test or finger-motion simulation. Enharmonic equivalence here uses equal temperament; other tuning and performance contexts require separate treatment.
