同近义词辨析

usual, ordinary, common, popular, universal, commonplace, general

这组词都有“普通的，普遍的”的意思，其区别是：

usual指常见常闻和常做的事或举动，强调惯常性。

ordinary用于物，指每天发生，十分平淡无奇；用于人，指无特别之处，很一般。

common多用于指物，侧重很常见，不稀奇。

popular指适应大众爱好、需要，为大家所公认或接受。

universal与general同义，但语气较强，侧重对每个人或事物都适用，根本没有例外。

commonplace强调缺少新意。

general语气强于common，侧重大多如此，很少有例外情况。
