A meteorologist is the person, not the study. The study is meteorology; this word is the scientist who does it — measuring weather, explaining it, and often saying what it will do next. Typhoons, rainfall, temperature, wind: that is their work.

A meteorologist Meteorologist is the person指的是人,not the study不是這門學科本身。The study is meteorology這門學科叫meteorology;this word is the scientist who does it這個字指的是做這件事的科學家——measuring weather他們會測量天氣、explaining it解釋天氣、and often saying what it will do next並且常常預測接下來會怎麼樣。Typhoons, rainfall, temperature, wind颱風、雨量、氣溫、風,that is their work這些就是他們的工作。

On television the smiling weather presenter is sometimes a real meteorologist, and sometimes a presenter reading a scientist's chart. Though actually, English is a bit loose here, and news programmes happily call both of them meteorologists. The trained job is still a science job, not 'someone who likes looking at clouds'.

On television在電視上,the smiling weather presenter那個笑咪咪播報天氣的人,is sometimes a real meteorologist有時候真的是meteorologist,and sometimes a presenter reading a scientist's chart有時候只是照著科學家做的圖表念稿的主持人。Though actually不過,English is a bit loose here英文在這裡用得比較鬆散,and news programmes happily call both of them meteorologists新聞節目常常把這兩種人都叫做meteorologist。The trained job這個受過訓練的職業,is still a science job終究是個科學工作,not 'someone who likes looking at clouds'不是「喜歡看雲的人」。

It is also not a climate scientist, who looks at the usual weather of a place over many years. In casual talk people also say weather forecaster or weather person; meteorologist sounds more like the expert behind the map.

It它is also not a climate scientist也不是climate scientist(氣候學家),who looks at the usual weather of a place over many years那是研究一個地方多年來一般天氣型態的人。In casual talk在比較口語的場合,people also say weather forecaster or weather person大家也會說weather forecaster或weather person;meteorologist Meteorologist sounds more like the expert behind the map聽起來比較像是氣象圖背後的專家。
