One way to hold this term: it is a label on a job, not a word you speak. The job is to point at a noun and say, you already know which one. In English only 'the' does that job, so the label sits on 'the' — and it can be lifted off and placed on whichever word does the same job in another language.

可以想成:這是一張貼在「某個工作」上的標籤,不是你講話時會說出口的字。那個工作是:指著一個名詞說「你已經知道是哪一個更多收起可以想成:這是一張貼在「某個工作」上的標籤,不是你講話時會說出口的字。那個工作是:指著一個名詞說「你已經知道是哪一個了」。英文裡只有 the 在做這件事,所以標籤就貼在 the 上——而它也可以撕下來,貼到別的語言裡做同一件事的那個字上。

同一張標籤,貼在英文上還是貼在別的語言上

兩個意思是同一個術語,差別只在你正在描述哪一種語言。
