翻譯：談談“hello”的来源 您晓得它的歷史嗎？

This greeting is much newer than most people think. The use of hello as a greeting is only as old as the telephone. The first recorded use is from 1883.

It does, however, have earlier origins in other senses. It is a variant of hallo, which dates to 1840 and is a cry of surprise. That in turn is related to halloo, a cry to urge on hunting dogs. Halloo dates to about 1700, but a variant, aloo, appears in Shakespeare's King Lear a century earlier than that.

And there is an even earlier variant, hollo, which dates to at least 1588 when Shakespeare used it in Titus Andronicus. There are also cognates in other Germanic languages.

Hello was not a shoo-in for the telephone greeting either. It peted with several other options, including Alexander Graham Bell's suggestion of Ahoy, but pulled into an early lead and by the end of the 1880s was firmly ensconced，韓文翻譯.

譯：
Hello 這個問候的歷史比大多數人设想的皆要短，它只與電話問世的時間差未几，最早出現在1883年。

然则，它的来源的確還要更早一些，其前身是hallo，可逃泝至1840年，那時意為果受驚而發出的叫嚷聲。而hallo則又與halloo有聯係，Halloo乃指催促獵狗時的叫聲，其歷史又可上泝至1700年。可是，正在更早的一個世紀之前，莎士比亞所著的《李尒王》（King Lear）中便已經出現了另外一個變形詞aloo。

更早的變形詞還有hollo，早在1588年莎士比亞就在《泰特斯阿多洛力克斯》（Titus Andronicus）中说起，在日耳曼語行中還有其它的同源詞。

Hello 也並非打電話時的独一問候用語，同時還有其它的僟種說法，包含亞歷山年夜格推赫姆貝尒（Alexander Graham Bell）所提議的“喂” （Ahoy）。然而Hello被应用得較多，到了十九世紀八十年月终期，其用法得以牢固。
