颱風是如何命名的？
Key Words:
- announce (v.) 宣告
- provide (v.) 提供
- complicated (a.) 複雜的
- previous (a.)先前的
世界氣象組織(WMO)位於東北太平洋以及南中國海地區有十四個會員國，每一個國家各提供10個颱風的名稱。每當有颱風形成，WMO位於日本的區域辦公室根據各國提供的140名字統一發布颱風名稱。這140個颱風名字包括人名、動物名、地名、珠寶等等。這些名字非常的複雜，因為這是有不同的國家及文化所提供的。
台灣目前並不是WMO的會員國，換句話說台灣從來不曾為颱風命名。
這些名稱的最新版本如附表。附表顯示出白鹿颱風是中國提供的名稱，前一個影響台灣的颱風利奇馬Lekima是越南提供的名稱，而下一個颱風將會被命名為Podul，是北韓所提供的名稱。
Each of 14 member nations from the Western North Pacific and South China Sea region in the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) provides 10 typhoon names. Whenever a typhoon is formed, the WMO regional center in Japan is responsible for announcing the typhoon according to the 140 names provided. The set of 140 typhoon names include names of persons, animals, places, jewelry, etc. The names are extremely complicated as they are from different nations and cultures.
Taiwan is currently not a member of WMO. In other words, Taiwan never names any typhoon.
The latest version of the names for typhoons is as shown in Table 1. The table shows that the Typhoon 白鹿 is named by China, the previous typhoon that affected Taiwan was Lekima provided by Vietnam, and the next typhoon will be named Podul, provided by North Korea.
