中文地质教科书中提到,系是纪的时期内形成的地层,依此类推,界是代的时期内形成的地层。但是美国地质教科书却给出了寒武纪是寒武系的地层沉积的时间。究竟是文化的差异,还是我们对地质学史知识缺少了解,让中美的教科书出现如此大的差异?正确使用名词、术语的前提之一是尽可能多地了解学科的发展史。 The Chinese geology textbook mentions that the strata were formed during the Ji period, and so on. The strata formed during this period. However, the United States geology textbook gives the Cambrian Cambrian sedimentary time. Are there any cultural differences or do we have a lack of understanding of the history of geology so that there is such a big difference between Chinese and American textbooks? One of the prerequisites for proper use of nouns and terms is to understand as much as possible about the history of the discipline.
