■ common sense 与 common knowledgecommon sense 中文一般译成“常识”,但不是指例如懂得“地球绕太阳转”、“水是氢氧化合物”之类要经过学习启发才获得的知识(例如从前学校的“常识”课),而是人单凭其本能就具有的先天感知与判断能力,例如“黑的不可能白”、“人的年龄不能减只能加”,等等。经过传播,家喻户晓的资讯(不需学习,但也不是先天所知),是 common knowledge。 - It is common knowledge (*common sense) that Spanish is spoken in Mexico.人尽皆知,墨西哥是讲西班牙语的。
