- 1r/ˌjuːnəˈvɜːrsəli/ · /ˌjuːnəˈvɜːsəli/by everyone普遍地／人人都
正式By everyone — either everyone in the world, or everyone in the particular group you are talking about.
「universally」講的是「所有人都這樣」，範圍可以是全世界，也可以只是你正在談的那個圈子（一個城市、一個行業）。它幾乎都放在被動的動詞前面：universally accepted、universally known、universally respected。跟 widely 比起來，widely 是「很多人」，universally 是「沒有例外」，所以語氣重很多。

正式In every situation or every case, without changing for different conditions.
這個 universally 不是在講人，是在講「情況」——同一套做法套用到每一種狀況上。常跟 apply、work、hold、true 這類動詞一起出現，例如 applied universally（一體適用）。討論規則或方法時很好用：問的是「這招每種情況都行得通嗎」。
