台风知识

希腊神话其中一位泰坦神的名字为提丰或又译堤福俄斯，象征风暴的妖魔巨人。该词在希腊语中义为「暴风」或「冒烟者」。堤丰也象征恶风。《神谱》说它战败后，从身上生出无数股狂台，专门滋害往来的海船。这个希腊词到波斯变为طوفان（Tufân），特指印度洋的风暴，到了英语里便成了Typhoon。中文台风一词的由来，有人认为来自台湾的「台」，也有说就是Typhoon的音译。但据清王士禛《香祖笔记》，「台湾风信与他海殊异，风大而烈者为飓，又甚者为台。飓倏发倏止，台常连日夜不止。正、二、三、四月发者为飓，五、六、七、八月发者为台。」可见今日的「台风」一词，源出彼时的「台」字。仅此一字，不太可能是音译typhoon。又有说该词源于粤语「大风」者，因为粤语中“大风”发音为“tai fong ”，传至英语成typhoon，再译回普通话成“台风”；或源自闽南语「风筛」。迄无定论。
