「扯鈴」的英文怎麼說?

「扯鈴」這種中國的傳統技藝在英文裡要叫 diabolo [dɪˋæbəlo]
注意不要和西班牙文裡的 diablo [dɪˋɑblo] (魔鬼) 搞混囉
「扯鈴」比魔鬼多一個「o」,唸起來也多一個音節
不過也有人說這個字的起源的確是拉丁文中的 dialobus
意思是「the devil on two sticks」(兩根棒子上的魔鬼)
diabolo這個名稱其實是二十世紀初期的一個法國人取的
也有人叫它 Chinese yo-yo
配合用的動詞有 spin (過去式及過去分詞為spun) (使…旋轉)
或是 toss [tɔs] (抛出) 等
用在句子裡時通常是用 the diabolo (單數)
類似裝置或樂器在英文裡的用法

我們來造些句:

She was good at spinning the diabolo in elementary school.
(她小學時很會玩扯鈴。)
The diabolo player’s tricks are mesmerizing.
(那名扯鈴選手的手法令人目眩神迷。)
I showed a French tourist how to play the diabolo.
(我示範給一個法國觀光客看如何玩扯鈴。)
