用法辨析

    adj. (形容詞)

  • common的基本意思是“普遍的”“共有的”“共同的”,主要指因許多人〔物〕所共同具有或使用而常見,引申可表示“一般的”“平常的”,指普通、無特別之処,有時含有低劣粗俗之意。
  • common在句中常用作定語,也可用作表語，其後可接介詞to。
  • common在句中脩飾不可數名詞時,前麪不能加不定冠詞。
  • common一般解釋爲“平常的”，偶爾可表示“低劣的”，“粗俗的”，所以在應用中應避免産生誤解。This is common furniture.
  • common sense，common knowledge和general knowledge的比較：common sense意爲“常識”，通常指從經騐得來的，多數人都知道的。common knowledge則是在一定範圍例大家都知道的事情。 general knowledge意爲“研究得來的，許多事情的常識”，反義詞是specialized knowledge（專業知識）；It is common knowledge (among the teachers) that they will soon have a new headmaster.
  • general knowledge test意思是“常識測試”；
  • common sense衹在作形容詞時，可寫作common-sense。
