A small, thin piece of plastic, metal, or wood that you hold and use to pluck the strings of a guitar, mandolin, or similar instrument. Guitar players almost always call it a pick in everyday English; plectrum is the older, more word, and you still meet it in instrument shops, classical writing, and talk about harpsichords. Some players like a soft pick, some a hard one; the shape and thickness change the sound. The usual plural in shops is plectrums; plectra turns up in more formal writing.
撥片；匹克（吉他手多半說 pick／匹克）
組成Borrowed from Latin plēctrum, from Ancient Greek plêktron, 'a thing to strike with' — first a tool for striking a lyre. From the verb 'to strike'. It took the place of Old English sleġel.

- For sounds in winter nights, and often in winter days, I heard the forlorn but melodious note of a hooting owl indefinitely far; such a sound as the frozen earth would yield if struck with a suitable plectrum, the very lingua vernacula of Walden Wood, and quite familiar to me at last, though I never saw the bird while it was making it.
