娱乐性解釋/意思:
n. An enormous aquatic animal mentioned by Job. Some suppose it to have been the whale but that distinguished ichthyologer Dr. Jordan of Stanford University maintains with considerable heat that it was a species of gigantic Tadpole (Thaddeus Polandensis) or Polliwig—Maria pseudo-hirsuta. For an exhaustive description and history of the Tadpole consult the famous monograph of Jane Potter Thaddeus of Warsaw.
