  1. 1n/nɔːrm/ · /nɔːm/the usual way常態 / 慣例

    The usual thing — the way something normally happens, or the way people usually do it, in a particular place or group.

    英文的 norm 指「這裡通常就是這樣」，重點在普遍程度，不在好壞。常見說法是 be the norm（成為常態）、the norm for...。跟 normal 的差別可以這樣看：normal 是形容詞（這件事很正常），norm 是名詞（這件事就是大家的做法）。

    示範例句 · Example

    Short contracts are now the norm at most big companies here.

    中文翻譯短的合約現在是常態，在這裡大部分的大公司。

    常見搭配

    • be the norm

      是常態、大家都這樣

      to be the usual thing that happens or that people do

      Working from home has become the norm in her office.

    • a departure from the norm

      跟慣例不同的做法

      something clearly different from what people usually do

  2. 2n/nɔːrm/ · /nɔːm/unwritten social rule規範

    正式A rule about how people should behave that a group or society accepts, even though it is not a written law.

    文法複數：這個意思要用複數形式。

    這個 norm 講的是該怎麼做，不只是「大家都這樣」。它是社會默默同意的行為標準，沒寫成法律，但打破了會被說話。這個意思幾乎都用複數 norms，常搭 social norms、cultural norms、violate the norms。

    常見搭配

    • social norms

      社會規範

      the accepted rules of behaviour in a society

      Children learn social norms by watching adults.

    • cultural norms

      文化規範

      to act against the accepted rules of behaviour

    • norms of behaviour

      行為規範

      the standards people are expected to follow

    意思相反

    deviancetaboo

  3. 3n/nɔːrm/ · /nɔːm/average standard標準值 / 平均水準

    正式The average level that people or things of a certain kind normally reach, used as a fixed point to measure others against.

    這個 norm 是量出來的數字，用來比較高低，常出現在測驗、健康檢查、統計裡。搭配詞是 above the norm、below the norm、well within the norm。跟第一個意思的差別可以這樣看：那個是「大家都這樣做」，這個是「一般會落在這個數字」。

    常見搭配

    • above/below the norm

      高於／低於標準值

      higher or lower than the usual measured level

      Temperatures in June were slightly above the norm.
