“universe”是“宇宙”, “universal”是宇宙的傲茄、全世界的隔心，也可表示某種情況非常普遍，與common竟痰，popular签钩，prevalent一樣掏呼，英英釋義：existing everywhere or involving everyone
例句：
①?比如我們常說“愛美之心，人皆有之”铅檩，就可以說成：
The desire to look attractive is?universal.
或者It’s a?universal?trait to want people to find you attractive.
② 當(dāng)我們想表示“全民xx”這層意思時(shí)憎夷，就可以用到 universal。比如“全民醫(yī)泵林迹”就可以說成“universal?health care”拾给，“普世價(jià)值”可以是“universal?values”⊥梦郑《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》曾在一篇特別報(bào)道中評(píng)價(jià)美國是“the?only large rich country without?universal?health care”蒋得。
③ universal 的副詞形式 universally 也很常見，當(dāng)想強(qiáng)調(diào)普遍程度時(shí)就可以用到它粘拾。比如《傲慢與偏見》中的經(jīng)典開篇第一段中就用到了“universally?acknowledged”：
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. ?
根據(jù)這段話我們也可以提取常見句型 It is a universal truth that… 比如《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》中就出現(xiàn)過： ?
It is a universal truth of human nature that a dollar tomorrow is worth less to us than a dollar today.
