问题 What does "Australia" mean according to the origin of the country?
选项 A、Land leading to Antarctic.
B、Land leading to Arctic.
C、Land leading to tough land.
D、Land leading to Austria.
答案A
解析 澳大利亚一词，意即“南方大陆”，欧洲人在17世纪初发现这块大陆时，误以为这是一块直通南极(Antarctic)的陆地，故取名“澳大利亚”，Australia即由拉丁文terraaustralis(南方的土地)变化而来。
