<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 這個詞的構成或相關的詞 gramophone 時， 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的phone .聲音，聲響。. 然而，為什么這些詞包含-graph 和 gram- 則與寫字有關， 并分別可追溯到希臘語相應的graphein .寫.和希臘語 gramma .寫的一些東西，字母表中的字母.呢ô Gramophone 實際上僅是早期詞匯 phonograph 的變形， 因此這才是需要解釋的更重要的詞。phonogram 和 phonograph 最初都是用來表示代表語音的字符， phonograph (835-840年）比 phonogram (8'0年）更早用于這種用法。 但到了9世紀下半葉，聲音可以通過除去書寫的途經來復制了。最早叫做phonograph 的儀器是一種通過薄膜來測量聲音震動同時通過一根針將其復寫在滾筒上以記錄下來的機器。 托馬斯·愛迪生的著名儀器發(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）；也應用了將聲音復寫在滾筒上的原理。從這以后，phonogram 這個詞可能是受單詞 telegram 的影響而用來指通過留聲機(879年被發(fā)現首次使用該意）記錄下來的聲音， 并且在884年gramophone 被埃米爾·柏林爾申請了專利，其名字是通過轉化單詞 phonogram 而形成
