台风名都是怎么取的？

早在风暴来临之前，世界气象组织就已经列出了一份风暴名字的名单。每年给大西洋上飓风命名的名单分成六组，每组里面各有21个名字，除了Q, U, X, Y, Z以外的每个字母拥有一个以它开头的名字。所以，我们可以预见的接下来发生在大西洋的飓风的会叫卡提亚、李、玛丽亚和欧菲利亚。

The West coast gets its names from six different lists, which include every letter except Q and U. Every time a tropical storm hits, meteorologists take the names alphabetically down that year’s list. Some of the names for Eastern North Pacific hurricanes this year are: Hilary, Irwin, Jova and Kenneth. (If you live in a storm-prone area, learn how to prepare your house for a hurricane.)

西海岸飓风从六个不同的姓名列表中获得名字，除了Q和u以外的每一个字母拥有一个以它开头的名字。每当热带风暴来临，气象学家就会在当年名单上按字母顺序取名。今年太平洋东北部来袭的飓风里会出现这些名字:希拉里、欧文、乔瓦和肯尼斯。(如果你生活在一个风暴频发的地方，学习如何为室内抵御飓风做准备。)

Once six years go by, the naming starts again with the first list. For instance, the first Atlantic’s first tropical storm was Hurricane Arlene, and that will be the name for the first hurricane in 2023, too. If there happens to be more than 21 tropical storms in one year (or 24 in the Pacific), the rest will come from the Greek alphabet, starting with Alpha and going down to Omega.
