Old Dong is startled for a second, then looks disgusted at the foolishness of the query. He slowly replies, "No difference." He ponders for half a beat, then adds: "You have to be a little more careful digging up old sites https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=c7f09414-65bf-4333-97d1-9e7a3c30e126&CatId=1 「台客」一詞從何而來，如今已不可考。目前一般認為最早是起於1960年代，外省第二代幫派份子對閩南人與客家人等「非我族類」的歧視用語，意指對方國語不標準、穿著土氣、沒水準、不入流、沒見過世面等，是族群優越感下不折不扣的貶抑詞。楊德昌導演以這個時代為背景，探討外省眷村文化的電影《牯嶺街少年殺人事件》裡，便曾多次出現這個用語。 The origins of the term "Taike"--literally "Taiwan guest" or "Tai guy"--are obscure. It is generally believed to have been in use in the 1960s at the earliest, when gangs of second-generation immigrants from the mainland would use it as a slur against Fujianese and Hakka people whose families had already been in Taiwan for many generations. It carried a sense of superiority against what the gangs saw as the unfashionable, unworldly country bumpkin locals who couldn't speak "proper" Mandarin. The term is heard many times in the Edward Yang film A Brighter Summer Day, which takes the immigrant village culture of that era as its backdrop. https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=cdfa6ca7-37e9-4ce9-bdd8-80ed631f9211&CatId=1 第一回是民国元年我初到北京的时候，当时一个朋友对我说，北京戏最好，你不去见见世面么？ > My initial exposure was during the first year of the Republic, when I first arrived in Beijing. A friend said, "Beijing Opera is the best there is. Why not go and broaden your horizons a bit?” (Lyell) > The first time was in 1912 when I was new to Beijing. A friend told me Beijing had the best opera and that seeing it was an experience not to be missed. (Yangs) > The first time was in 1912, the first year of the Republic. I'd just arrived in Beijing, and a friend told me I should go, just for the experience - Beijing opera being the best in the country. (Lovell) 鲁迅《社戏》 然而未庄人真是不见世面的可笑的乡下人呵，他们没有见过城里的煎鱼！ > "On the other hand, I gotta remember that next to me, Wei Villagers are just a bunch of hicks. They've never even seen how bigheads are fried in town. (Lyell) > But the Weizhuang villagers were really ignorant rustics who had never seen fish fried in town. (Yangs) > Though the people of Weizhuang, of course, were still village idiots: think of it - they didn't even know how people fried fish in town! (Lovell) 鲁迅《阿Q正传》 -------------------------------- Editor: 世面 is usually combined with 见, but often something comes between the two words. Other times 世面 is the object of another verb such as 接觸 or 識 (rather than 见). (See examples below.) So it's useful to have a good definition of 世面, and I've taken the opportunity to tweak our definition. I feel that "to gain real-world experience" is a bit misleading in that it sounds too much like the situation where someone puts the skills they learned in the classroom into practice in a workplace setting. Also, I think "worldly-wise" matches 见过世面 all right, but isn't quite apt for 见世面. Examples: 你家孩子會長成不識世面的土包子 your kids are going to grow up to be provincials ignorant of the larger world, 讓沒有見過世面的新婚妻子儘量看個夠。 It was a real eye-opener for the untraveled young Chang-mei. 往返應酬必定帶著她，要她接觸世面，做為機會教育的一環。 As the youngest daughter in her family, and her father's chosen successor, she was taken along whenever he went to see friends or acquaintances, so she could get a feel for the larger world from an early age. 他覺得「創意」這東西，是要歷經不同世代文化、不同歷練、見過不同世面後，才能醞釀出來的； He feels that "creativity" develops after encountering different cultures and experiences, and seeing different sides of the world around us. |
