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)。其中乔纳森大哥是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,JohnBull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 od 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在英文中是“牛”的意思,故译为“约翰牛”。后来成为英国或英国人的绰号。
