路径依赖 (lù jìng yī lài)

特师的每日一词,2026年1月21日的词汇是:路 lù 径 jìng 依 yī 赖 lài释义 Definition路径依赖是指一个系统或决策的结果会受到其历史发展路径的影响,难以轻易改变。路径依赖 (lù jìng yī lài) refers to a system or decision's outcome being influenced by its historical development path, making it difficult to change easily.例句 Example近期的《财经》杂志中,有篇标题为《AI、就业和社保》的文章,作者卓贤是这样用这个词的:「技术进步具有路径依赖,一旦某种技术范式占据主导地位,整个社会的工程能力、基础设施和认知习惯都会围绕其构建并自我强化,将发展方式“锁定”在特定轨道上。」这里说的是技术的发展方向会受到过去选择的影响。In a recent article titled 'AI, Employment, and Social Security' in Caijing Magazine, the author Zhuo Xian used the term like this: 'Technological progress has 路径依赖; once a certain technological paradigm becomes dominant, the entire society's engineering capabilities, infrastructure, and cognitive habits are built around it and self-reinforce, "locking" the development model onto a specific track.' This is talking about how the direction of technological development is influenced by past choices.你知道吗? Did You Know?路径依赖这个概念最初来自经济学,用来解释为什么一些效率不高的技术标准(比如QWERTY键盘)一旦被广泛采用就很难被取代。它和“惯性”有点像,但更强调历史选择对未来的约束。比如,一个国家早期的工业布局会影响它几十年后的产业格局,这就是路径依赖。The concept of 路径依赖 (lù jìng yī lài) originally came from economics, used to explain why some inefficient technical standards (like the QWERTY keyboard), once widely adopted, are difficult to replace. It is a bit similar to 惯性 (guàn xìng), but emphasizes more the constraints that historical choices place on the future. For example, a country's early industrial layout can influence its industrial structure decades later; this is 路径依赖 (lù jìng yī lài).
