Fricative

擦音

A term used in the phonetic classification of consonant sounds on the basis of their manner or articulation: it refers to sounds made when two organs come so close together that the air moving between them produces audible friction, or frication. There is no complete closure between the organs (in which case a plosive articulation would be produced): there is simply a stricture, or narrowing.

语音学按发音方式给辅音分类的术语，指两个发音器官十分靠近，以至空气从其间通过时产生可闻摩擦音。两个发音器官之间并非完全闭塞（不然就产生破裂音），只是发生滞留或间隙变窄。
