核心畫面

Think of the ordinary picture of a scientist: someone in a lab, measuring, counting, testing an idea to see whether it survives. Now take that person out of the lab and put them on a bus, in a classroom, or in front of ten thousand survey answers. The method does not change — collect, count, test — but the material is people: how they decide, spend, vote and live next to each other. A social scientist is that person.

可以想成先看見一個典型的科學家:在實驗室裡量、數、做實驗,看一個想法撐不撐得住。接著把這個人從實驗室搬出來,放到公車更多收起可以想成先看見一個典型的科學家:在實驗室裡量、數、做實驗,看一個想法撐不撐得住。接著把這個人從實驗室搬出來,放到公車上、教室裡,或是一萬份問卷前面。方法沒變,還是收資料、算數字、驗證想法;變的是材料,材料換成了人:人怎麼決定、怎麼花錢、怎麼投票、怎麼跟旁邊的人相處。social scientist 就是這樣的人。

From the word’s history

The word is built from social science plus the ending -ist, which marks the person who does something, as in artist and pianist.

這個字是 social science 加上字尾 -ist 組成的,-ist 在英文裡標示「做這件事的人」,像 artist、pianist。所以字面就是「做社會科學的人」,職業的意思是拼出來的,不需要另外記。
