為何這裡用The Hong Kong?

這是因為Hong Kong在這裏的功用是用作形容詞，用來修飾Government，在英文裏有複合名詞（compound noun），複合名詞其中有以名詞＋名詞，或動名詞＋名詞等等所組成，如：an apple tree, a car factory, a dog race, name-calling等等

第一個名詞或動名詞，是形來修飾第二個名詞；所以，用the與否，不應看第一個名詞，而是看第二個名詞

因為Government通常會冠以　冠詞，所以，就有The Hong Kong Government之說

希望到你！


注：因這緣故，所以就有　in the mainland China，而不是　on the mainland China；又on China's mainland，而不是 in China's mainland

Governments is a plural noun.

The sentence is referring to the Hong Kong Government and the Central Governement.

(1) in mainland China (mainland is adjective)
(2) on the mainland (mainland is noun)
(3) on the Chinese mainland (Chinese is adjective)
