问题 In which of the following works can you find the proper names "Lilliput" , "Brob-dingnag" , "Houyhnhnm" and "Yahoo"?

选项 A、James Joyce’s Ulysses.
B、Charles Dickens’s Bleak House.
C、Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels.
D、Lawrence’s Women in Love.

答案C

解析 “Lilliput”、“Brobdingnag”、“Houyhnhnm”和“Yahoo”这些怪异的名字,都是英国过去人们生活中不存在的事物,是作家故意杜撰出来以体现故事本身的不真实性。它们是Jonathan Swift的作品Gulliver’s Travels中的地名和人名。该故事集中有大人国、小人国等虚构的故事。题中特殊词汇出现在这样的作品中也就不足为怪了,故C正确。
