当今风靡全国的“山寨”一词,最早是来源于香港粤语的一个俚语。20世纪70年代香港经济起飞时,贫民都聚居在木屋区,不少人就在木屋区开设制造一些轻工产品的家庭式作坊。这些简陋的木屋多是依山坡而建的,当时的港人就戏称这些作坊为“山寨厂”。“寨”是旧时粤语中对经营场所的蔑称,来源于旧社会的妓院,含有贬义色彩。 Today, the word “cottage” swept the country, the earliest is a slang derived from Cantonese in Hong Kong. When the economy of Hong Kong took off in the 1970s, poor people lived in huts and many families set up home-based workshops for manufacturing light industrial products in the huts. These shabby huts are mostly built on hillsides, when Hong Kong people dubbed these workshops as “cottage factories.” “Village ” is the old nickname of the place of business in Cantonese, from the brothels of the old society, contains a pejorative color.
