用法讲解

adj. (形容词)
  1. common的基本意思是“普遍的”“共有的”“共同的”,主要指因许多人〔物〕所共同具有或使用而常见,引申可表示“一般的”“平常的”,指普通、无特别之处,有时含有低劣粗俗之意。
  2. common在句中常用作定语,也可用作表语，其后可接介词to。
  3. common在句中修饰不可数名词时,前面不能加不定冠词。
  1. common一般解释为“平常的”，偶尔可表示“低劣的”，“粗俗的”，所以在应用中应避免产生误解。

    This is common furniture.

  2. common sense，common knowledge和general knowledge的比较：common sense意为“常识”，通常指从经验得来的，多数人都知道的。common knowledge则是在一定范围例大家都知道的事情。 general knowledge意为“研究得来的，许多事情的常识”，反义词是specialized knowledge（专业知识）；

    It is common knowledge (among the teachers) that they will soon have a new headmaster.

  3. general knowledge test意思是“常识测试”；
  4. common sense只在作形容词时，可写作common-sense。
