摘要
自从达尔文提出进化论以来,“进化”这个概念已经成为日常语言中的一个常用词。虽然进化论可被应用于社会科学和文化研究,但是日常的或“准学术”的言谈不能表达进化论的科学意义,反而造成对进化论的似是而非的误解。文章通过对比人们对“进化”这一概念的误解和该概念的科学含义表明了科学语言和日常语言的不同。
Ever since Darwin put forward the "Theory of Evolution", the concept of"evolution" has become a common word in everyday usage. Although it can be applied in social sciences and cultural study, the scientific significance of the theory can not be expressed in everyday or "quasi academic" speech, which, on the contrary, will lead to a specious misunderstanding of it. This article analyzes this kind of misunderstanding and shows the differences between scientific language and everyday language. Key words: the concept of "evolution"; scientific language; everyday language
