Usagenote:

classic,classical

1classic用作形容词表示“经典的；精彩的；一流的”。

例如：

*DeathontheNileisoneoftheclassicworksofAgathaChristie.《尼罗河上的惨案》是阿

加莎克里斯蒂的经典作品之一。

*口语中也会用到classic这个词。

当你看到一场精彩的演出时，就可以说“That’sclassic!

”来

表达赞美。

classic用作形容词也表示“典型的；标准的”。

例如：

*Londonistheclassicexampleofthescatteredcity.伦敦是标准分散型的城市。

*ThisstatementwasaclassicilustrationofBritishpoliteness.这项陈述是对英国礼貌的一

个典型说明。

classic也可用作名词，表示“文学名着；经典作品；杰作”。

例如：

*WehavealthestandardclassicsofHayaoMiyazakiathome.我们家有宫崎骏的所有的

经典作品。

2classical不能用作名词，只能用作形容词，表示“古典的；经典的”。

例如：

*Ispendalotoftimereadingandlisteningtoclassicalmusic.我花了很多时间阅读和聆听

古典音乐。

*ClassicalmusicismusicwrittenbycomposerssuchasMozartandBeethoven.像莫扎特

和贝多芬所创作的音乐称为古典音乐。

*莫扎特和贝多芬所创作的音乐属于古典音乐（classicalmusic）,但这些古典音乐经久不衰，

有永久的意义和价值，所以这些音乐也可称为经典的音乐（classicmusic）。

反之，在前面

有一例中说可口可乐瓶子的设计是精彩的，一流的，所以是经典（classic）之作，但很明显

可口可乐瓶子的设计不是古典的（classical）设计。

所以，经典的（classic）作品不一定

就是古典的（classical）作品。
