“吹奏”常见的英文表达是 “play(on an instrument)” ,当明确提及具体吹奏乐器时,也可用 “blow(a wind instrument)” 。具体如下:
play(on an instrument):这是一个较为宽泛和常用的表达,适用于各种通过吹、拉、弹等方式来演奏的乐器,当强调用乐器吹奏时,可具体说明乐器。例如:
He can play the flute very well.(他笛子吹得很好。)
She likes to play the saxophone in her free time.(她喜欢在空闲时间吹奏萨克斯风。)
blow(a wind instrument):更侧重于描述通过吹气使管乐器发声这一动作,突出“吹”的这一行为方式。例如:
The musician is blowing the trumpet on the stage.(这位音乐家正在舞台上吹小号。)
You need to learn how to blow the recorder properly first.(你得先学会如何正确地吹奏竖笛。)
