1. In late January a Brobdingnagian battle erupted over a Lilliputian water dweller. 1月底，一种小小的水栖生物掀起了一场大战。
2. Animals smaller than rabbits, on the other hand, tend to attain brobdingnagian proportions—perhaps because bigger bodies are more energetically efficient than small ones. 另一方面，体型比兔子小的动物，在海岛上往往会演化成体型硕大的物种，也许是因为体型变大能提升能量利用效率。
3. It's not because we need a Brobdingnagian structure we can see from the train, or because we need a large concrete boast to impress foreigners, or because the football team need a stable home. 但这并不是因为我们需要像修铁路一样大兴土木，造大人国里的工程。也不是因为我们需要这样一个值得夸耀的“大家伙”来给外国人留下印象；也不是因为国家队需要一个固定的主场。
