单词 | tambourine |
释义 | tambourinen. 1. A musical instrument consisting of a wooden hoop having skin or parchment stretched over one side, and pairs of small cymbals, called jingles, placed in slots round the circumference, small bells being sometimes fastened to the edge. It is played by shaking, striking with the knuckles, or drawing the fingers across the parchment.The earlier names for this or a similar instrument mentioned in the Bible were timbre and timbrel. It is not clear what Spenser and Jonson meant by tamburin, timburine; the word was known to Blount 1661 only from Spenser; the modern use was unknown to Bailey, to Johnson, and to Ash (1775); it is certain in quot. 1782; but as it does not agree with that of French tambourin it is difficult to know how it arose.
