1，英語中海嘯tsunami一詞是從日本語中來的嗎

是的

是的，海嘯在許多西方語言中稱為“tsunami”，詞源自日語“津波”，即“港邊的波浪”（“津”即“港”）。這顯示出了日本是一個(gè)經(jīng)常遭受海嘯襲擊的國家。“tsunami”一詞，在1963年的國際科學(xué)會(huì)議上正式列入國際術(shù)語。

日語有相當(dāng)多的外來語，這些外來語多數(shù)來自英語。但這些英語已經(jīng)被日化，與本質(zhì)已經(jīng)有了區(qū)別。我們可以叫它日式英語，也就是japalish。

2，關(guān)于海嘯英語

A tsunami (pronounced soo-nah-mee or tsoo-nah-mee [ IPA /su?nɑ?mi/ or /tsu?nɑ?mi/]) is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale. Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and large meteorite impacts all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami can range from unnoticeable to devastating. The term tsunami comes from the Japanese language meaning harbour ("tsu", 津) and wave ("nami", 波 or 浪). Although in Japanese tsunami is used for both the singular and plural, in English tsunamis is well-established as the plural. The term was created by fishermen who returned to port to find the area surrounding the harbour devastated, although they had not been aware of any wave in the open water. A tsunami is not a sub-surface event in the deep ocean; it simply has a much smaller amplitude (wave heights) offshore, and a very long wavelength (often hundreds of kilometres long), which is why they generally pass unnoticed at sea, forming only a passing "hump" in the ocean.
