遭遇台风英语

typhoon[tai5fu:n]n.[气] 台风typhoonty.phoonAHD:[tº-f›n“] D.J.[tai6fu8n]K.K.[ta!6fun]n.（名词）A tropical cyclone occurring in the western Pacific or Indian oceans.台风：发生在西太平洋或印度洋的热带暴风Probably alteration of Chinese (Cantonese) toi fung 可能为 汉语（广东话） toi fung的变化 Mandarin tái [great] 普通话 tái [巨大的] Mandarin f¶g [wind] 普通话 f¶g [风] Perhaps few words better illustrate the polyglot background of English than typhoon, with its Chinese, Arabic, East Indian, and Greek background. The Greek word typhon, both the name of the father of the winds and a common noun meaning “whirlwind, typhoon,” was borrowed into Arabic (as was many a Greek word during the Middle Ages, when Arabic learning both preserved the classical heritage and expanded upon it, passing it on to Europe). Ù¿f³n,} the Arabic version of the Greek word, passed into languages spoken in India, where Arabic-speaking Moslem invaders had settled in the 11th century. Thus the descendant of the Arabic word, passing into English (first recorded in 1588) through an Indian language and appearing in English in forms such as touffon and tufan, originally referred specifically to a severe storm in India. China, another great empire, gave us yet another word for a storm, in this case the hurricane that occurred in the waters around China. This Chinese word in its Cantonese form, toi fung, was similar to our Arabic borrowing and is first recorded in English guise as tuffoon in 1699. The various forms coalesced and finally became typhoon. 也许很少有单词能像typhoon 一样表明汉语、阿拉伯语、东印度语和希腊语的多国语言背景。 希腊单词typhon 既是风神的姓名又是意为“旋风，台风”的普通名词， 被借入到阿拉伯语（就象在中世纪时许多希腊语单词进入阿拉伯语一样，那时，阿拉伯人的学问保存了古典的风格，同时在把它传向欧洲时又有所扩充）。Tufan ，希腊语的阿拉伯语形式， 传入到了印度人使用的语言，11世纪时讲阿拉伯语的穆斯林入侵者在印度定居下来。这样，阿拉伯语单词的衍生，从印度语言进入英语（最早记载于1588年），并以如touffon 和 tufan 的形式出现于英语中， 最先特指印度的猛烈风暴。中国，另一个大帝国，给了我们风暴的另一个单词，这里指的是在中国附近洋面发生的飓风。汉语单词的广东语形式toi fung 同我们的阿拉伯语借用词相近， 最早以tuffoon 的形式于1699年载入英语。 各种形式合并在一起最后变成了typhoon

typhoon意思是台风属于热带气旋的一种。热带气旋是发生在热带或副热带洋面上的低压涡旋，是一种强大而深厚的“热带天气系统”。

typhoon的意思是台风。这是借词回收。借别人的东西总是要还的，唯有借别国的“词”却可以不“还”，如果别国要用，只能是再来“借”。这种把词借出去又借回来的现象叫做“借词回收”。不过值得注意的是，词在国外旅行了一圈，再回来时往往变得面目全非了。太平洋西部沿海有一种极猛烈的风暴，本来没有专用名词，广东人只是笼统地叫它“大风”。后来欧洲人来到中国，从广东人嘴里自然而然地学会了这个词，可是这个词在外语里该怎么写呢？当时欧洲人采用了音译法，广东人的“大风”念［taifuη］，于是在英语里就变成了typhoon。这个外文词不久又传回中国北方，北方人说的“大风”和广东人发音不一样，所以想不到这个词是当初的“国产货”，而是把它当作“进口货”处理，又用半音译和半意译的方法译成了“台风”。
