Usagenote:

classic,classical

1classic用作形容词表示“经典の；精彩の；一流の”。

例如：

DeathontheNileisoneoftheclassicworksofAgathaChristie.《尼罗河上の惨案》是阿加莎·克里斯蒂の经典作品之一。

口语中也会用到classic这个词。

当你看到一场精彩の演出时，就可以说“That’sclassic!

”来表达赞美。

classic用作形容词也表示“典型の；标准の”。

例如：

Londonistheclassicexampleofthescatteredcity.伦敦是标准分散型の城市。

ThisstatementwasaclassicillustrationofBritishpoliteness.这项陈述是对英国礼貌の一个典型说明。

classic也可用作名词，表示“文学名著；经典作品；杰作”。

例如：

WehaveallthestandardclassicsofHayaoMiyazakiathome.我们家有宫崎骏の所有の

经典作品。

2classical不能用作名词，只能用作形容词，表示“古典の；经典の”。

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の音乐称为古典音乐。

莫扎特和贝多芬所创作の音乐属于古典音乐（classicalmusic）,但这些古典音乐经久不衰，有永久の意义和价值，所以这些音乐也可称为经典の音乐（classicmusic）。

反之，在前面有一例中说可口可乐瓶子の设计是精彩の，一流の，所以是经典（classic）之作，但很明显

可口可乐瓶子の设计不是古典の（classical）设计。

所以，经典の（classic）作品不一定就是古典の（classical）作品。
