用法筆記
Borrowed directly from Latin ('twice') via French musical tradition. In concert settings, 'Bis!' is the standard audience call in many European countries, whereas 'Encore!' is the more traditional expression in English-speaking countries. On sheet music the word is always written in italics or lowercase.
