  讲集合名词（collective nouns）有一本绝妙的书，叫 James Lipton 写的《An Exaltation of Larks》。既搞笑又引人入胜。https://www.bookdepository.com/Exaltation-Larks-James-Lipton...

  A great book on collective nouns is "An Exaltation of Larks" by James Lipton. It's hilarious and fascinating. https://www.bookdepository.com/Exaltation-Larks-James-Lipton...

  完全赞同。你可能会喜欢（已故的）《Inside the Actor’s Studio》（演员工作室面对面）主持人 James Lipton 写的《An Exaltation of Larks》。

  Hear hear. You may enjoy “An Exaltation of Larks” by (the late) James Lipton of “Inside the Actor’s Studio”

  …disappointed that the article, despite it's title, never actually tells us how these group names came about. From some reading a while back, it seems that many started to be used after the 1968 book, An Exaltation of Larks, became popular. It was written by the Inside the Actors Studio host James Lipton, and includes some terms he made up himself, as far as I can tell (the back cover states " In it you will find more than…
