摘要
根据《牛津英语词典》(OED)，“economy”的原意是“ineconomy”，而不是现在流行的“diseconomy”。在经济方面，这个词似乎至少早在1897年就被使用了(参见《牛津英语词典》中的Ineconomy词条)。尽管根据《牛津英语词典》，dis这个前缀几乎可以用在任何单词的前面，但还是出现了一些奇怪的问题。不经济(diseconomy)是如何变得如此流行，以至于“规模不经济”(diseconomies of scale)而不是“规模不经济”(ineconomies of scale)被奉为经济学巨著的?谁又能为英语语言增添这样的内容而感到自豪呢?让我们把注意力集中在“规模不经济”的起源上。
According to Tlie Oxford English Dictionary (OED) the original antonym for economy is ineconomy and not the popular term diseconomy. Ineconomy, it seems was used at least as early as 1897 (see the entry under ineconomy in OED). Although it is equally acceptable for the prefix dis to be used in front of almost any word (according to OED), some curious questions arise. How did diseconomy become so popular to the extent that •"diseconomies of scale" rather than "ineconomies of scale" is enshrined in the tomes of economics, and who can claim credit for such an addition to the English Language? Let us concentrate on the origin of "diseconomies of scale."
