because they had many more instruments,

那是因为有更多的乐器在演奏
a lot more people playing,

有更多的人在演奏
axiomatic the more people you have,

这很公平人越多
the longer it takes for sound to clear,

声音消失殆尽的时间就越长
the slower your tempo will go

速度也会更慢
unless you have a maniacally dictatorial type of conductor

除非有一个疯狂的独裁型指挥
that will really push you.

在后面使劲施压
So it leads to the more people,

但一般来说
the slower the tempo is going to go.

人越多速度越慢
So what we have here is a reproduction

所以我们听的第一段录音
an attempt to reproduce

是试图真实还原
an authentic seventeenth century performance

十七世纪的表演风格
