※ 引述《pttfft (The Show OFF!!!)》之铭言:
: 现在还是有不少台湾人称对岸是"大陆"
: 阿世界有那么多大陆,到底是在说哪个大陆啦
: 中国就中国,是在大陆什么
: 有没有这方面的八卦?
大陆, 内地, 均是从英文 Mainland 的概念来的.
Mainland 的英文是什么意思呢?
Mainland is a name given to a large landmass in a region (as contrasted with a
nearby island or islands), or to the largest of a group of islands in an
archipelago. Sometimes its residents are called "Mainlanders".
Because of its larger area, a mainland almost always has a much larger population
than its associated islands, and mainlander culture and politics sometimes
threaten to dominate those of the islands.
简单呢,
KMT教我们称中国叫大陆, 称内地.
就是承认我们只是一个岛, 对方才是主体.
而且不论在政治上, 文化上, 对方都是属于统治的部份.
为什么很多台湾人会反抗这个词,
就是这些字不仅包含 "我们和他们同一国",
更包含 "我们只是中国主体支配的一部份" 的可怕思惟."
