核心畫面

The word points at one political idea — communism — and then names things by their link to it: the person who holds the belief, and anything (a party, a government, a policy) built on it. Same label, two jobs: one for people, one for descriptions.

可以想成:這個字指向一套政治主張(communism),再用「跟這套主張的關係」去命名東西——抱持這個主張的「人」,更多收起可以想成:這個字指向一套政治主張(communism),再用「跟這套主張的關係」去命名東西——抱持這個主張的「人」,以及建立在這個主張上的「東西」(政黨、政府、政策)。同一個標籤兩種用法:一個當名詞指人,一個當形容詞描述事物。這也是英文裡 -ist 結尾常見的雙重身分。
