古筝相关的英文

Guzheng Zither 或Chinese ancient zither

zither 英[ˈzɪðə(r)] 美[ˈzɪθɚ, ˈzɪð-] n. 筝，齐特琴，扁琴; [例句]An ancient stringed instrument similar to the lyre or zither but having a trapezoidal sounding board under the strings.类似于七弦琴和筝但在琴弦下具有梯形的传声结构板的古代弦乐器。[其他] 复数：zithers

推荐答案说的很到位了。koto一般特指日本筝 很少有人会称古筝为koto。很久以前我也以为zither是古筝 因为词典就是这么说的，但是后来发现zither在英语中原意指的是中东传入欧洲的一种齐特琴。所以当你跟英语语种的人说zither的时候 其实是误导人我们古筝和齐特琴是一脉相承的。 希望看到这个回答的大家以后能注意。
