问题 Which of the following is NOT the nickname of the U. S. A. ?

选项 A、Uncle Sam.
B、Brother Jonathan.
C、Yankee.
D、John Bull.

答案D

解析本题考查美国社会文化知识。美国的绰号有山姆大叔(Uncle Sam)、乔纳森大哥(Brother Jonathan)和扬基佬(Yankee)。其巾乔纳森大哥是18世纪英国兵对美国民兵的谑称，扬基佬是美国南北战争期间北方人的外号，后来这些绰号都成了美国的别称。约翰牛(John Bull)是英国人的绰号，John Bull原是18世纪英国作家约翰·阿布什诺特(John Arbuthnot，1667—1735)在《约翰·布尔的历史》(The History of John Bull)中所创造的形象，用来讽刺当时辉格党的战争政策。由于Bull在英文巾是“牛”的意思，故译为“约翰牛”。后来成为英国或英国人的绰号。
