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。
