Wuthering Heights?

这两个词合在一起使小说的名称具有鲜明的地方特色.
Wuthering是英国北部的当地语言,形容狂风发出的呼啸声.在有关词典里这样解释：Wuthering describes a wind that blows strongly and makes a roaring sound. Northern English word.《呼啸山庄》小说第一章里Lockwood也有一段解释：'Wuthering' being a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather'.含义和上面的相似.
Heights原意是“高地”,小说里是指约克郡荒原（Yorkshire Moors）.对此Wikipedia词典有这样的解释：It is in fact a place, the novel opens in 1801, with Lockwood arriving at Thrushcross Grange, a grand house on the Yorkshire moors he is renting from the surly Heathcliff, who lives at nearby Wuthering Heights.
关于Wuthering Heights的含义在英汉对照的《呼啸山庄》简写本中有介绍,有关英语泛读教材中也有说明.
