    Bagpipes are a musical instrument, most from Scotland: air is blown into a bag and then forced out through to make the sound.

    Bagpipes風笛 are a musical instrument是一種樂器, most famously from Scotland最有名的是來自蘇格蘭那種: air空氣 is blown into a bag被吹進袋子裡, and then forced out through pipes再被擠壓通過管子出來, to make the sound發出聲音.

    English almost always uses the plural. We say He plays the bagpipes, not usually He plays a . That can feel odd, because it is still one instrument — though actually the name is thinking of the several sticking out of the bag.

    English英文 almost always uses the plural幾乎都用複數形. We say我們會說 He plays the bagpipes他吹風笛（用複數）, not usually而不太會說 He plays a bagpipe他吹風笛（用單數）. That這 can feel odd可能讓人覺得奇怪, because因為 it is still one instrument它明明是同一件樂器 — though actually不過其實 the name這個字的命名 is thinking of想到的是 the several pipes好幾根管子 sticking out of the bag從袋子裡伸出來的樣子.

    The sound is loud and carrying, with a continuous drone under the tune.

    The sound這聲音 is loud and carrying響亮又傳得遠, under the tune在曲調底下 with a continuous drone還有持續不斷的嗡鳴聲.

    You will hear bagpipes at Scottish ceremonies, in military bands, and in films that want a Scottish feeling.

    at Scottish ceremonies在蘇格蘭的典禮上, in military bands軍樂隊裡, and in films that want a Scottish feeling還有想營造蘇格蘭氛圍的電影裡, you will hear bagpipes你都會聽到風笛.

    The word comes from earlier , from Middle English .

    The word這個字 comes from source是 earlier bagpipe更早的 bagpipe, from源自 Middle English bagpipe中古英文的 bagpipe.
