从“二”和“两”看中国数文化

On Chinese Numerical Culture:Taking “er” and “liang” as An Example

参考《现代汉语词典(第六版)》《现代汉语难词词典》《近代汉语断代语言词典系列》《组词造句词典》《俗语小词典(修订本)》及其他资料,对"二"和"两"从含义上做了分析对比、归纳总结。二者在表示"数目"和"两样"上含义是相似的,而与量词的搭配及读数、延伸义等方面两者是有区别的。"二"除了含有阴阳的哲学概念,还含有"傻、次、旁"的贬义色彩,体现了中华民族独特的文化思维及民族心理。

Referring to'the Modern Chinese Dictionary(Sixth Edition)','the Modern Chinese Dictionary of Difficult Words','the Series of Language Dictionaries in Modern Chinese','the Dictionary of Phrases and Sentences','the Small Dictionaries of Common Saying and Other Materials',the paper analyses and compares the definitions and meanings of 'er' and 'liang'.Their meaning of 'number' and 'two' are similar,but they are different from quantifier collocation and reading.In addition to the philosophical concept of Yin and Yang,'er' also contains the derogatory meaning of 'silly,inferior or minor'.
