“经济发展”的概念对于这一代人来说已经变得如此普遍，以至于令人惊讶的是，《牛津英语词典》仍然没有意识到“发展”作为经济学中的一个技术术语，与它在数学、生物学、音乐或摄影中的使用形成鲜明对比。顺便说一句，《社会科学百科全书》中也没有“经济发展”的条目。 “经济发展”一词如何进入英语并至少在一段时间内被视为人均收入增长的故事既令人好奇又富有启发性。
So commonplace has the concept of "economic development" become to this generation that it comes as a surprise to find the Oxford English Dictionary still unaware of "development" as a technical term in economics, as contrasted with its use in mathematics, biology, music, or photography. Nor, incidentally, is there an entry on "economic development" in the Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences. The story of how the term "economic development" entered the English language and came, for a time at least, to be identified with growth in per capita income is both curious and illuminating.
