摘　　要：哈喽,哈喽,哈喽,哈喽。你可能轻声说,也可能扯着嗓子大喊,但电话那头的人都知道,你想做的就是用问候来联系对方。传说托马斯·阿尔瓦·爱迪生是第一个用电话打招呼的人。但是爱迪生并没有发明“hello”这个词。事实上,早在1885年电话发明之前,这种问候就已经存在了好几个世纪。Hello,Hullo,Hallo,Hull-oo-oo-oo.You may say it softly or you may holler1 at the top of your voice,but the person at the other end knows that all you are trying to do is get in touch with a greeting.Legend has it that Thomas Alva Edison was the first to say hello over the telephone.But Edison didn’t invent“hello”by a long shot.As a matter of fact,the greeting has been around for centuries much before the invention of telephone in 1885.
