乐器人类通过演奏乐器，借以表达、交流思想感情。对乐器的界定,音乐界和乐器学界有不同看法。音乐界认为,用于音乐的发声器具才是乐器;乐器学界则通常将许多非音乐领域中的发声器，如古代战争中的鸣金击鼓、宗教中的祈祷诵经、婚丧中的礼仪信号、商贩招揽的信号器等，也视为乐器

情景对话:
A: Mary, I remember your brother is very interested inlearning to play a musical instrument. Has he decidedwhen to start it?
B: No, not yet. He's kinda busy these days. Besides, he hastrouble deciding which musical instrument to learn. Helikes flute and guitar both. He doesn't know which oneto choose.
A: Tell him just to pick one. And he can learn to play theother later.
B: Right. I'll tell him. Well, how's your violin lesson?
A: Not bad. I have just learned a concerto. It's not easy. Ineed to keep practicing. And your piano lesson?
B: Hm, it gets more and more difficult. Last week's lullabyis relatively easy, but this week's sonata is pretty hard.
A: You know, besides learning from the teacher, there'sanother good way to help improve our skills一listen tothe most notable players!
B: Yeah. Look at these CDs. I've been listening to them allthe time. Oh, these great pianists' virtuosity! How I wishone day I could play like them!
参考译文:
A:玛丽，我记得你弟弟对学习乐器很感兴趣。他决定什么时候开始学了吗?
B:还没有。这些天他有点忙。另外，他也没想好要学习哪种乐器。长笛和吉他他都喜欢，所以不知道该选哪一个了。
A:跟他说就随便选一个好了，另外一种乐器可以以后学。
B:没错，我就打算这样跟他说。嗯，你小提琴课上得怎么样了?
A:挺好，我刚学了首协奏曲，不太好拉，需要时常练习才行。你的钢琴课怎么样了?
B:哦，也是越来越难了。上周学的一首摇篮曲还相对简单点，但是这周学的奏鸣曲就非常难了。
A:其实，要提高弹奏技巧，除了跟随老师学习，还有另外一个好办法—多听听知名演奏家的演奏。
B:没错。瞧瞧这些CD，是我一直都在听的。哦，这些大钢琴家真是卓越超群啊!我多么希望有朝一日也能像他们一样!
