Picture each kind of thing having an invisible 'mould' that carries the features that kind should have. Calling something typical is like it landing right in that mould — wearing the most common, most representative features of its kind, so you can tell at a glance what it belongs to.

可以想成每一類東西都有一個看不見的「模子」，帶著那一類該有的樣子。說某個東西 typical，畫面比較像它剛好落進那個模子裡——身上帶著那一類最常見、最有代表性的特徵，一看就知道是那一掛的。From the word’s history
Typical goes back to Greek typos, meaning 'impression, stamp, mould' — the fixed shape a seal leaves when pressed down. Typikos meant 'belonging to that type.' That is exactly its core: whether a thing fits the 'mould' of its kind.
typical 的根是希臘文 typos，本意是「壓印、印模」——像印章蓋下去留下的那個固定形狀。typikos 就是「屬於那個模子的」。這正好是它的核心：一個東西合不合它那一類的「模子」。

以下是外部詞典記錄的用法，原文照列，我們還沒有寫成教學內容。上面的說明才是我們自己寫的；有些用法可能上面已經講過了。
typicaladj/ˈtɪp.ɪ.kəl/
- 1
Capturing the overall sense of a thing.

- Compare this with, for instance, the heights of adult humans. They certainly lie within half an order of magnitude from a mean of about 1.7 m, being within the interval 5.4–0.54 m (18–1.8 ft). It is obvious from our three examples—the height of a person, household income in the United States, and the area of EU countries—that the concept of what is typical or characteristic depends on the case one refers to. Nevertheless, even vague measures can have a useful meaning in a comparison with something that is very different. For instance, the area of EU countries is typically much larger than the area of the city of New York, although Malta is actually smaller.
