Population, 22,660.博兹曼：蒙大纳西南部一城市，位于布特东南偏东。始建于19世纪60年代，是黄石国家公园的入口。人口22,660〔echo〕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 wordēkhō, 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 1340. 您可能想到echo 这个词来自仙女埃科的名字， 她在希腊神话中与回声有关。关于她的故事，有一种说法认为，神潘爱她无望，便指使牧羊狗将她撕成碎片。她的碎片藏在地下时仍在回答潘的疯狂叫喊，于是产生了回声。另一种说法是，埃科使得赫拉察觉不到宙斯的不忠，作为惩罚被剥夺了说话的能力，只能重复别人的话。这个缺陷使她失去了纳西色斯的爱情，于是埃科不断憔悴消损，最后只留下她的声音。可惜的是这位不幸的女神并不能因为制造了回声这个词而居功，因为希腊语ekho ， 即英语中echo 的来源， 早在任何关于埃科的故事之前就存在了。我们现在的词echo 最早是在1340年出现于中世纪英文作品中 〔Faenza〕A city of north-central Italy southwest of Ravenna.
