单词 aloha
释义
aloha
(once / 19219 pages)
n

When you say aloha it can mean one of two things: hello or goodbye. The next time you visit Hawaii, use aloha often!
Many words have a clear opposite, like up and down. A few words are their own opposite: like cleave, which means both to separate and to bring together. Aloha — surely the poster child of all Hawaiian words in English — is like that, since it can mean both "Hi there!" and "Goodbye!" This word of greeting or farewell signifies love and affection, so you probably wouldn't say "Aloha!" to your arch-enemy. The Italian word ciao has a similar double meaning.
