老大哥.指"老大"/监视者,喻专制国家的监控机构,警察国家的独裁者,以及某一地区、组织中起决定作用的人或因素。
源自英国文学作品。英国小说家乔治·奥维尔(George Orwell,1903-1950)在他的作品《1984》中,塑造了一个专制的独裁者Big Brother(老大哥)。他控制着一个极权国家,并将人民置于他的高压管制之下。他甚至通过电视接受器,对每一个家庭进行严密的监视。因此"老大哥"又有了"监视"的意思。目前在网络届流行一种英文软件Big Brother,可以周期性地监视网络状况。此语在首字母小写的情况下,通常指兄长或担任兄长和老大哥角色的人。所以在使用中应该区别这两种不同的表达方式。
