把“科盲”这一概念引入科普领域,虽然已经初步得到社会公众的承认,但是,理论界和学术界却没有多少人来研究并确切地解释它。在已出版的辞书中,目前还找不到对“科盲”这个新概念的权威注释。而合理地界定“科盲”,有计划地扫除“科盲”,对于推动科技发展,促进生产力提高,具有十分重要的意义。盲者,目亡也;本指瞎而看不见东西。由文盲引申而来的“科盲”一词,就其字义来讲,似乎并不难理解,即指对科学的无知。但科学远比文字复杂得多。文字是记录语言的书写符号系统,是人们借以思维和进行交际,以及从事其他活动的工具。文字学和语言学都仅仅是社会科学的分支学科,是不能与科学这个 Although the concept of “scientific blindness” has been introduced into the field of science popularization, although it has been initially recognized by the public, there are not many people in both theorists and academics who have studied and accurately explained it. In the published dictionaries, there is still no definitive comment on the new concept of “scientific blindness”. However, it is of great significance to define “science blindness” rationally and eliminate “science blindness” in a planned manner. This is of great significance to promoting the development of science and technology and promoting the improvement of productivity. Blind, dead also; this means blind and can not see things. The term “scientific blindness” derived from illiteracy does not seem to be hard to understand in terms of its meaning, meaning ignorance of science. But science is far more complicated than writing. Writing is a written notation system that records the language, a tool through which people can think and communicate, and engage in other activities. Both philology and linguistics are merely branches of social science, and can not be related to science
