制度本身
這一支就是核心畫面:只有一把椅子的那種安排。
noun · C1
A way of running a country in which one person, or one small group, holds all the power, and nobody else can limit it, vote against it or take it away.
獨裁統治;專制
One way to picture autocracy: a long table with only one chair. Every decision leaves from that chair, and there is nowhere else in the room to sit. The word is not really about what the person in the chair is like. It is about the missing chairs.
From Greek autos, self, plus kratos, power: power held by one alone.
來自希臘文 autos(自己)加 kratos(權力),字面是「自己一個人的權力」。同樣的 -cracy 也在 democracy 裡,只是前半段換成 demos(人民)。
