<注釋>One might think that our wordecho is from the name of the nymph Echo, whom Greek mythology associates with echoes.According to one version of her story,she was torn to pieces by shepherds driven to this act by the god Pan, who was hopelessly in love with her.Pieces of Echo hidden in the ground still respond to Pan`s frenzied cries,producing the phenomena known as echoes.A second version of her tale has it that Echo, as a penalty for distracting Hera from observing Zeus`s infidelities, lost all power of speech,except the ability to reply.This defect lost her the love of Narcissus,which caused Echo to pine away until only her voice was left.The hapless nymph, however, cannot even claim credit for echoesbecause the Greek wordôkhô, the source of Englishecho, existed with our common noun sense before any mention of Echo is found.Our wordecho is first recorded in Middle English in a work composed in 340.
您可能想到echo 這個詞來自仙女埃科的名字， 她在希臘神話中與回聲有關。關於她的故事，有一種說法認為，神潘愛她無望，便指使牧羊狗將她撕成碎片。她的碎片藏在地下時仍在回答潘的瘋狂叫喊，於是產生了回聲。另一種說法是，埃科使得赫拉察覺不到宙斯的不忠，作為懲罰被剝奪了說話的能力，只能重複別人的話。這個缺陷使她失去了納西色斯的愛情，於是埃科不斷憔悴消損，最後只留下她的聲音。可惜的是這位不幸的女神並不能因為製造了回聲這個詞而居功，因為希臘語ekho ， 即英文中echo 的來源， 早在任何關於埃科的故事之前就存在了。我們現在的詞echo 最早是在340年出現於中世紀英文作品中
