Q

norm (n.)

标准,定额;规范,行为标准

A

norm 可以表示“被规定或一致商定的标准、定额或定量”;它还常以复数形式出现,表示规范或行为标准,我们常说的“社会规范”的英文就是 social norms。
normal 这个词是从 norm(标准)一词得来,有“符合标准的、符合典范的”含义。师范大学的英文表达是 normal university,其实这里的 normal 就可以理解为这个大学是符合典范的,因为“师范”本身也暗含了“学高为师,身正为范”这一层含义,老师就是学生的标准和典范。
例句:The detailed education norms for children of particular ages are necessary. 针对具体年龄儿童的详细教育标准是必需的。
