"tape recorder" 是可数名词短语,字面意思是“磁带录音机”,特指通过磁带(tape)记录和播放声音的设备。在口语中也可简称为“录音机”(但需注意:广义的“录音机”更常用 "recorder",而 "tape recorder" 强调“磁带式”)。
作为名词,"tape recorder" 在句子中可充当主语、宾语、定语等成分,常见搭配包括动词(如 buy/use/fix/record 等)、介词(如 on/with/into 等)。

1、 可数性:"tape recorder" 是可数名词,复数形式为 tape recorders(如:There are three tape recorders in the classroom. 教室里有三台录音机。)
2、 与 "recorder" 的区别:
"recorder" 是广义的“录音机”,可指数字录音机(digital recorder)、磁带录音机等;
"tape recorder" 特指“磁带式录音机”,强调介质是“磁带”。
怀旧语境:My mom still uses her 1980s tape recorder to listen to old cassettes.(我妈妈还在用她80年代的录音机听旧磁带。)
专业场景:Some musicians prefer tape recorders for their warm, analog sound.(有些音乐家更喜欢磁带录音机,因为声音温暖、有模拟质感。)
综上,"tape recorder" 是描述“磁带式录音机”的经典短语,虽因数字设备普及使用频率下降,但在讨论传统音频设备或怀旧场景中仍很常见。
