    示範例句 · Example

    Beethoven is my favourite composer.

    逐字貝多芬是我最喜歡的作曲家。

    composer 就是「寫音樂的人」。動詞 compose 有「把各個部分組合起來」的意思，所以 composer 可以想成「把一個個音符組合成一首完整曲子的人」，composition 則是組合出來的那首曲子。composer 通常用在古典音樂、管弦樂、電影配樂；如果是寫流行歌、而且有歌詞，英文更常說 songwriter。

core核心畫面

Someone sitting with paper (or a screen) and putting the notes together before anyone plays them. A composer is the person the music comes from, not the person on stage — the orchestra performs what the composer wrote, sometimes hundreds of years later. The word leans towards larger or more serious pieces: symphonies, opera, film scores.

可以想成一個人坐在譜紙（或螢幕）前，把一個個音擺在一起——曲子在還沒有人演奏之前就先在這裡成形。畫面上要分清楚兩種人：composer 是音樂「出自於他」的那個人，台上拉琴唱歌的是 performer；樂團演的常常是幾百年前某位 composer 寫下的東西。這個字也帶著份量感，通常用在交響曲、歌劇、電影配樂這類較大或較正式的作品；寫流行歌的人英文多半說 songwriter。
