樂器人類通過演奏樂器，借以表達(dá)、交流思想感情。對(duì)樂器的界定,音樂界和樂器學(xué)界有不同看法。音樂界認(rèn)為,用于音樂的發(fā)聲器具才是樂器;樂器學(xué)界則通常將許多非音樂領(lǐng)域中的發(fā)聲器，如古代戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中的鳴金擊鼓、宗教中的祈禱誦經(jīng)、婚喪中的禮儀信號(hào)、商販招攬的信號(hào)器等，也視為樂器

情景對(duì)話:
A: Mary, I remember your brother is very interested inlearning to play a musical instrument. Has he decidedwhen to start it?
B: No, not yet. He's kinda busy these days. Besides, he hastrouble deciding which musical instrument to learn. Helikes flute and guitar both. He doesn't know which oneto choose.
A: Tell him just to pick one. And he can learn to play theother later.
B: Right. I'll tell him. Well, how's your violin lesson?
A: Not bad. I have just learned a concerto. It's not easy. Ineed to keep practicing. And your piano lesson?
B: Hm, it gets more and more difficult. Last week's lullabyis relatively easy, but this week's sonata is pretty hard.
A: You know, besides learning from the teacher, there'sanother good way to help improve our skills一listen tothe most notable players!
B: Yeah. Look at these CDs. I've been listening to them allthe time. Oh, these great pianists' virtuosity! How I wishone day I could play like them!
參考譯文:
A:瑪麗，我記得你弟弟對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)樂器很感興趣。他決定什么時(shí)候開始學(xué)了嗎?
B:還沒有。這些天他有點(diǎn)忙。另外，他也沒想好要學(xué)習(xí)哪種樂器。長(zhǎng)笛和吉他他都喜歡，所以不知道該選哪一個(gè)了。
A:跟他說就隨便選一個(gè)好了，另外一種樂器可以以后學(xué)。
B:沒錯(cuò)，我就打算這樣跟他說。嗯，你小提琴課上得怎么樣了?
A:挺好，我剛學(xué)了首協(xié)奏曲，不太好拉，需要時(shí)常練習(xí)才行。你的鋼琴課怎么樣了?
B:哦，也是越來越難了。上周學(xué)的一首搖籃曲還相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單點(diǎn)，但是這周學(xué)的奏鳴曲就非常難了。
A:其實(shí)，要提高彈奏技巧，除了跟隨老師學(xué)習(xí)，還有另外一個(gè)好辦法—多聽聽*演奏家的演奏。
B:沒錯(cuò)。瞧瞧這些CD，是我一直都在聽的。哦，這些大鋼琴家真是卓越超群啊!我多么希望有朝一日也能像他們一樣!
