喜樂美語
  1. 1a/ɔːrˈkestrəl/ · /ɔːˈkestrəl/管弦樂的

    relating to an orchestra — a large group of musicians who play instruments such as violins, flutes, and drums together — or written to be played by one.

    orchestral 就是 orchestra（管弦樂團）的形容詞，用來說「跟那一大團樂手有關的」。它可以想成從三個角度看同一件事：orchestral music 是「寫給樂團演奏的音樂」，an orchestral performance 是「樂團的演出」，an orchestral musician 是「樂團裡的樂手」。中文常譯「管弦樂的」或「樂團的」，看後面接什麼字最順就用哪一個。

Wiktionary

A stage full of musicians — rows of violins, a line of flutes, drums at the back — all playing one piece together. This word is simply the adjective that points at that whole group: it belongs to them, or it was written for them.

一個坐滿樂手的舞台：前排一整排小提琴，中間是長笛、單簧管，後面是鼓和銅管，幾十個人照著同一份譜一起出聲。這個字就是指著那一整團人的形容詞——不是某一件樂器，而是「屬於那整團」或「為那整團寫的」。所以聽到 orchestral，腦中該浮現的是規模和層次：很多聲部疊在一起的那種厚度。
