英文释义

专有名词
  1. A group of islets located in the Sea of Japan, administered as part of Ulleung County, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, and claimed by the Japan and North Korea.
    — From May to July 1856, H.M.S. Hornet had little or no current either in this sea or in Korea strait; but in the latter end of July and the month of August it ran strong to the N.E., on one occasion as much as 48 miles in twenty-four hours; it, however, gradually decreased as the vessel proceeded to the northward. These currents were evidently much influenced by the wind, for on one occasion, in the vicinity of the Liancourt rocks, she was set 1½ miles an hour to the S.E.

词源

From the name of the French whaling ship Le Liancourt that nearly wrecked on the rocks in 1849.
