为什么台风的英语是汉语的音译,有什么缘由吗?
The word "typhoon" might come from the Hakka dialect phrase "tai foon",or the Cantonese phrase "dai fung",OR the Mandarin "dà fēng," all with the meaning "Big Wind" (traditional Chinese:大风; simplified Chinese:大风; pinyin:dàfēng).
Other possible origins of the word include the Greek Typhon,the god of the winds,who personifies storm thunder winds.The Arabic,Persian,and Hindi terms tufan may have been borrowed from the Greek.[2] In old Turkic script the word Tufan is also recorded.
The English term is reverse-translated back to mandarin Chinese as (traditional Chinese:台风; simplified Chinese:台风; pinyin:táifēng; Jyutping:toi4fung1) and Japanese as taifū (台风?).
