<注釋>In considering the makeup of the wordphonograph or the related word gramophone, one has no difficulty understanding why they containphono- or -phone, both going back to Greekphônô, .sound, voice.. Why, however, do these words contain-graph and gram-, which have to do with writing, going back to Greekgraphein, .to write,. and Greek gramma, .something written, letter of the alphabet,. respectivelyô Gramophone is in fact simply an inversion of the earlier phonogram, the more important word to explain therefore.Bothphonogram and phonograph were first used to denote characters that represented speech sounds, phonograph being found in such a use earlier (835-840) than phonogram (8'0). But in the second half of the 9th centurysounds were reproduced in ways other than writing.The earliest device to be called aphonograph was a machine that picked up sound vibrations by means of a membrane and recorded them with a point that traced them on a cylinder. Thomas Edison`s famous device was also known as thephonograph (first reference found in 877, the year of its invention);it too used the principle of tracing sound on a cylinder.After this the wordphonogram, probably under the influence of the word telegram, was used to refer to a sound recording made by a phonograph (first such use found in 879), and in 884 thegramophone, whose name was formed by inverting the term phonogram, was patented by Emile Berliner.
在考慮phonograph 這個(gè)詞的構(gòu)成或相關(guān)的詞 gramophone 時(shí)， 人們并不難理解為什么它們包含有phono- 或者 -phone， 兩者都追溯到希臘語(yǔ)的phone .聲音，聲響。. 然而，為什么這些詞包含-graph 和 gram- 則與寫(xiě)字有關(guān)， 并分別可追溯到希臘語(yǔ)相應(yīng)的graphein .寫(xiě).和希臘語(yǔ) gramma .寫(xiě)的一些東西，字母表中的字母.呢ô Gramophone 實(shí)際上僅是早期詞匯 phonograph 的變形， 因此這才是需要解釋的更重要的詞。phonogram 和 phonograph 最初都是用來(lái)表示代表語(yǔ)音的字符， phonograph (835-840年）比 phonogram (8'0年）更早用于這種用法。 但到了9世紀(jì)下半葉，聲音可以通過(guò)除去書(shū)寫(xiě)的途經(jīng)來(lái)復(fù)制了。最早叫做phonograph 的儀器是一種通過(guò)薄膜來(lái)測(cè)量聲音震動(dòng)同時(shí)通過(guò)一根針將其復(fù)寫(xiě)在滾筒上以記錄下來(lái)的機(jī)器。 托馬斯·愛(ài)迪生的著名儀器發(fā)明也作為phonograph 為人們廣為所知 (877首次提及，即其發(fā)明的同年）；也應(yīng)用了將聲音復(fù)寫(xiě)在滾筒上的原理。從這以后，phonogram 這個(gè)詞可能是受單詞 telegram 的影響而用來(lái)指通過(guò)留聲機(jī)(879年被發(fā)現(xiàn)首次使用該意）記錄下來(lái)的聲音， 并且在884年gramophone 被埃米爾·柏林爾申請(qǐng)了專利，其名字是通過(guò)轉(zhuǎn)化單詞 phonogram 而形成
