In the minds of many people living in England, before Australia was Australia, it was the antipodes, the opposite pole to civilization, an obscure and unimaginable place that was considered the end of the world.
B) before there was australia, it was the antipodes. c) it was the antipodes that was australia d) australia was what was the antipodes E) australia was what had been known as the antipodes.
before australia was australia 第一个australia是澳洲大陆的意思,第二个australia是澳大利亚(国家)的意思。 当澳洲大陆成为澳大利亚之前…… D中 what was 和 E中what had been known as 是罗嗦的表达。 C中it指代不明。其实只要明白2个australia的意思,就知道了A的表达最清楚简洁。
