1. 1n/ˌlaʊdˈspiːkər/ · /ˌlaʊdˈspiːkə/speaker for a crowd擴音器

    A piece of equipment that makes a voice or a sound loud enough for a crowd or a large space to hear.

    loudspeaker 指的是把聲音放大、讓一大群人都聽得到的設備——車站月台的廣播、學校走廊的喇叭、宣傳車上的大聲公都算。常用句型是 over the loudspeaker、through the loudspeaker,表示「透過廣播傳出來」。它的重點在對很多人講話,所以聽到這個字,通常是有公告要宣布。

    中文翻譯一個透過那個擴音器的聲音說我們的火車誤點了。

  2. 2n/ˌlaʊdˈspiːkər/ · /ˌlaʊdˈspiːkə/speaker in a radio or phone喇叭(音響零件)

    The part of a radio, television, phone, or sound system that the sound comes out of.

    這個 loudspeaker 指的是音響、收音機、電視這些機器上「出聲音」的那個零件,也就是我們平常說的喇叭。日常口語幾乎都簡稱 speaker,寫成 loudspeaker 的多半是產品說明或技術文件。它跟第一個意思的差別在用途:這裡是聽音樂、聽節目用的,不是拿來對一大群人廣播的。
