英文訳お願いします！
When automobiles first began to appear on the roads and streets of this country they did not
have horns of any kind. The noise they made and the
moderate speed at which they went made horns unnecessary. But in time it was felt that a warning device was
needed. The first such signal was a hand-operated horn consisting of a rubber bulb on one end of a brass trumpet.
In 1908 an inventor secured a patent on a horn that was electrically operated. He coined Klaxon as the trade-mark for his new product, and this word has now become popular.
Klaxon is based upon the Creek verb klazein, which is related to the Latin word clangere from which "clang"
comes. The Greek verb means to make a sound of some kind, its precise meaning depending on the source of the sound. When birds are referred to, it means "to scream,"
as the eagles and herons do. When dogs are the source of the sound, it means "to bark or bay." If things such arrows in a quiver are being talked of, klazein means "to clash or rattle." If the wind is spoken of, it means "to whistle." If people are referred to, the verb means "to
shout or scream."
It would be difficult to coin a word that has in it more of the element of sound than does Klaxon.
