★classic:
a.（usu.beforenoun）admiredbymanypeople,andhavingavaluethathascontinuedforalongtime经
典的
TheCoca-Colabottleisoneoftheclassicdesignsofthelastcentury.可口可乐瓶子上是上个世纪的经典设计之
一。
UsageNOTE
Classic,classical
3.Classic用作形容词表示“经典的；精彩的；一流的”。
例如：
DeathontheNileisoneoftheclassicAgathaChristie.《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
散型城市。
Classic也可用作名词，表示“文学名著；经典作品；杰作”。
例如：
WehaveallthestandardclassicsofHayao
Miyazakiathome.我们家有宫崎骏的所有经典作品。
4.Classical不能用作名词，只能用作形容词，表示“古典的，经典的”。
例如：
Classicalmusicismusicwritten
bycomposerssuchasMozartandBeethoven.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。
