The Greek wordtyphon, 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).Ùūfān, 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 languageand appearing in English in forms such astouffon 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 astuffoon in 1699. The various forms coalesced and finally becametyphoon. 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 〔aerophagia〕The abnormal, spasmodic swallowing of air, especially as a symptom of hysteria.吞气症:异常的痉挛性吞气,特指歇斯底里的症状〔inventory〕A detailed, itemized list, report, or record of things in one's possession, especially a periodic survey of all goods and materials in stock.财产目录:个人财产中物品的详细的、逐条登录的目录、报告或记录,特指对所存的全部货物和材料所做的阶段性的统计〔churchyard〕A yard adjacent to a church, especially a cemetery.教堂墓地:教堂相邻的院子,特指墓地〔figure〕A pictorial or sculptural representation, especially of the human body.画像、塑像:图片或雕塑的表现,特指人体形象〔breach〕 Infringement is most frequently used specifically to denote encroachment on another's rights,such as those granted by a copyright: Infringement 常用来特指侵害他人的权力,如受版权保护的权力: 〔inure〕To habituate to something undesirable, especially by prolonged subjection; accustom:使习惯于:特指经过较长时间的适应而习惯于曾经厌烦的东西;使适应:〔marine〕Of or relating to troops that serve at sea as well as on land, specifically the U.S. Marine Corps.海军陆战队的:(有关)服役于海陆两地的部队的,特指美国海军陆战队〔trigraphic〕Of, relating to, or being a substitution or procedure by groups of three characters or elements at a time in encoding, decoding, or cryptanalysis.一次三个字母的:属于、关于一次替换或操作三个字或二个元素的,特指在设置密码、破译密码或密码分析中〔busy〕 Busy, the most general, often refers simply and nonspecifically to engagement in activity: Busy 是最普遍的,通常指简单地和无特指意义的从事活动: 〔dexterous〕Handy suggests a more modest aptitude, principally in manual work: Handy 表示更加敏锐,特指体力劳动: 〔financial〕Fiscal applies especially to a nation's financial practices and policies: Fiscal 特指国家财政事务及政策: 〔banish〕Exile specifies departure from one's own country, either involuntarily because of legal expulsion or voluntarily because of adverse circumstances: Exile 特指离开某人的祖国,或因遭到法律上的驱逐非自愿地离开或因形势不利而自愿地离开: 〔eutectic〕Of, relating to, or formed at the lowest possible temperature of solidification for any mixture of specified constituents.

The appearance ofbat as the second part of this compound is explained by the fact that the word bat, "war club, cudgel,” developed in Middle English the sense "chunk, clod, wad,” and in the 16th century came to be used specifically for a piece of brick that was unbroken on one end.brickbat 最早的意义记录在1563年首次出版的一部著作中,意为“一块砖。” 这样的砖块常用来投掷他人,意在将人打伤;因此,含比喻意义的brickbats (1929年第一次被记录下来)指批评家抨击他们厌恶的表演。 bat 一词作为这一复合词的第二部分出现可用下列事实来解释,即意为“警棍,短棒”的 bat 一词在中世纪英语中发展为“厚块、泥块、软团”的意思, 16世纪被用来特指一端没有破损的砖块〔machine〕A literary device used to produce an effect, especially the introduction of a supernatural being to resolve a plot.产生文学效果:为产生效果的文学手段,特指引进超自然因素使情节得以解决〔chrysalis〕A pupa, especially of a moth or butterfly, enclosed in a firm case or cocoon.蛹:蛹,特指蛾子或蝴蝶,包在坚固的壳或茧中〔leveret〕A young hare, especially one less than a year old.小野兔:特指不满一岁的小野兔〔faldstool〕A folding chair or stool, especially one used by a bishop when not occupying the throne or when presiding away from the cathedral.折叠椅:可折叠的椅子或凳子,特指主教离开主教座或他的主教座堂以外主持圣事时使用的〔zygote〕The cell formed by the union of two gametes, especially a fertilized ovum before cleavage. 合子:两个配子结合而成的细胞,特指分裂前的受精卵〔macula〕Also mac.ule [-yo͞ol'] A spot, stain, or blemish, especially an area of discoloration on the skin caused by excess or lack of pigment. 也作 mac.ule [-yo͞ol'] 斑点:斑点、污点或瑕疵,特指皮肤由于色素过多或过少而产生的变色区域〔abstinence〕 Continence specifically refers to abstention from sexual activity.
