kazoo 卡祖笛

拟声词,模仿这种乐器发出的嗡嗡的声音。

kazoo (n.)
1884, American English, probably altered from earlier bazoo "trumpet" (1877); probably ultimately imitative (compare bazooka). In England, formerly called a Timmy Talker, in France, a mirliton.
Kazoos, the great musical wonder, ... anyone can play it; imitates fowls, animals, bagpipes, etc. [1895 Montgomery Ward catalogue, p.245]
But mostly "etc."
