1. 1nB1/mjʊˈzɪʃən/ · /mjuːˈzɪʃən/音樂家;樂手

    someone who plays a musical instrument, especially someone who plays it very well or who does it as a job.

    示範例句 · Example

    Ellen is one of the most talented young musicians in our school.

    逐字艾倫是我們學校裡最有天分的年輕音樂家之一。

    musician 指的是「演奏樂器的人」,而且通常帶著「彈得很好」或「以此為工作」的意思,所以不是每個會按幾個琴鍵的人都叫 musician。可以想成 music(音樂)後面加上 -ian(做這件事的人),就像 magic → magician 一樣。跟旁邊幾個字容易混:singer 是用聲音唱的人,performer 是上台表演給大家看的人,而說到某一種樂器時,英文更常直接說 piano player、guitar player。

core核心畫面

Picture the person with the instrument in their hands — the one playing, not the one listening or writing the song. The word points at skill and practice: someone who can actually make the instrument sound like music, often as their work.

可以想成手上拿著樂器、正在演奏的那個人——不是在聽的人,也不一定是寫歌的人。這個字的重量落在「會彈、彈得出來」上:手上有真功夫,常常還是靠這個吃飯的。
