General/universal
Universal是涉及“全体的;普遍存在的”,例如,通病universal problem, 普选权universal suffrage用在逻辑术语上还表示“全称的”,比如'all men are animals' 就是一个全称肯定判断,而'no man is omniscient' 是一个全称否定判断。
General 在意思上也有“”普遍的;全体的;常规的;综合性的;一般的”含义,但非常的笼统, 不是那么准确(to be used with less precise boundaries and often implies no more than reference to nearly all or to most of the group.)例如,大致的描述general description, 大概的方向general direction,综合性医院general hospital,一般原则general principle,总的来说general speaking, 一般情况下as a general rule
