5.Hurdy-gurdy, or wheel fiddle.
這就是絞絃琴或者說是手搖風琴。
6.So, these are the different kinds and shapes of the hurdy-gurdy.
屏幕上所展得是不同類型或不同形狀的絞絃琴。
7.The hurdy-gurdy is the only musical instrument that uses a crank to turn a wheel to rub strings, like the bow of a violin, to produce music.
僅有絞絃琴這種樂器 使用一種曲柄來操控木輪摩擦 琴絃來演奏歌曲， 功用與小提琴琴弓一樣。
8.It has three different kinds of strings.
絞絃琴有三種不同的琴絃。
9.The first string is the drone string, which plays a continuous sound like the bagpipe.
第一種是低音琴絃， 是用來發出如同風笛一般的持續低音。
10.The second string is a melody string, which is played with a wooden keyboard tuned like a piano.
第二種則是調音弦， 它與木製琴鍵盒搭配奏出如鋼琴般的樂聲。

15.So all of this is pretty innovative, if you consider that the hurdy-gurdy appeared about a thousand years ago and it took two people to play it;
這些部分都別具匠心啊。 絞絃琴大約是在 千年以前就存在的樂器， 當時需要兩人一同演奏絞絃琴，
16.one to turn the crank, and another person -- yes -- to play the melody by physically pulling up large wooden pegs.
一位轉動曲柄， 另一位則拉動木製琴栓 以駕馭調音弦。
17.Luckily, all of this changed a couple of centuries later.
然後幾個世紀後，絞絃琴有所改變，
18.So, one person could actually play and almost -- this is pretty heavy -- carry the hurdy-gurdy.

19.The hurdy-gurdy has been used, historically, through the centuries in mostly dance music because of the uniqueness of the melody combined with the acoustic boombox here.
從音樂史角度來說，絞絃琴 一般是與舞蹈搭配起來， 這是由於絞絃琴獨特的曲調而造成的， 當然還得和這個內置揚聲器配合使用。
