We have an old musical instrument. It is called a clavichord. It was made in Germany in 1681. 我家有件古乐器，被称作古钢琴，是1681年德国造的。
Our clavichord is kept in the living room. It has belonged to our family for a long time. 我们的这架古钢琴存放在起居室里。我们家有这件乐器已经很久了。
The instrument was bought by my grandfather many years ago. Recently it was damaged by a visitor. 这个乐器是我祖父在很多年以前买的。可它最近被一个客人弄坏了。
She tried to play jazz on it! She struck the keys too hard and two of the strings were broken. My father was shocked. 因为她用它来弹奏爵士乐。她在击琴键时用力过猛，损坏了两根琴弦。我父亲大为吃惊。
Now we are not allowed to touch it. It is being repaired by a friend of my father's. 现在不许我们再动它。父亲的一个朋友正在修理这件乐器。
