核心畫面

Picture a line drawn across a workplace. On one side are the people and companies inside the union; on the other side are those outside it. Non- is what puts you on the outer side of that line, and the word says only that — nothing about how good the work is or how good the pay is.

可以想成工作場所裡畫了一條線。線的一邊是工會裡的人和公司。另一邊是工會外面的。non- 就是把你放到線的外側。這個字更多收起可以想成工作場所裡畫了一條線。線的一邊是工會裡的人和公司。另一邊是工會外面的。non- 就是把你放到線的外側。這個字只說這件事。它沒有在說工作做得好不好,也沒有在說薪水高不高。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary gives the word simply as non- plus union, so the picture is already in the parts.

Wiktionary 記載這個字就是 non- 加上 union。所以那條線的畫面,其實在字的組成裡就寫明了。
