1. 1風笛(英語幾乎都用複數 bagpipes;台灣也說蘇格蘭風笛)

    Bagpipes are a musical instrument, most from Scotland: air is blown into a bag and then forced out through to make the sound. 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. The sound is loud and carrying, with a continuous drone under the tune. You will hear bagpipes at Scottish ceremonies, in military bands, and in films that want a Scottish feeling. The word comes from earlier , from Middle English .

組成From earlier bagpipe, from Middle English bagpipe; bag(袋子)+ pipes(管子們)
