PAC is related to the Latin words for “agree” and “peace.” The Pacific Ocean—that is, the “Peaceful Ocean”—was named by Ferdinand Magellan because it seemed so calm after he had sailed through the storms near Cape Horn. (Magellan obviously had never witnessed a Pacific typhoon.) PAC与拉丁语中表示“同意”和“平静”的单词有关。Pacific Ocean(太平洋)——即“平静的海洋”——是费迪南德·麦哲伦命名的,因为在航海穿过好望角附近的暴风雨后,他看到的这个海洋似乎非常平静。(麦哲伦显然从未见过太平洋的台风。)
