电话之父贝尔更喜欢用“Ahoy”而不是“Hello”

亚历山大·格拉汉姆·贝尔更喜欢用“Ahoy ”而不是“Hello
”,After the telephone was invented, people needed some instructions on how to use it. One concern was how to begin a conversation on this device. Instead of “Are you here?” or “Are you ready to talk? ” Alexander Graham Bell, the now-disputed inventor, suggested the nautical ¹ greeting “Ahoy”. Bell’s rival Thomas Edison thought “Hello
” was a more appropriate telephone greeting. The writers of the first telephone books sided with Edison, and often included his suggestion in an instructional page on telephone etiquette ². Alexander Graham Bell continued to use “Ahoy” in his telephone conversations for the rest of his life.
