3.Common Nouns
普通名詞
Common nouns refer to categories of things in general, never to specific examples something that are named. In other words, when speaking about education in general someone might refer to 'university' in a general sense.
普通名詞指代的`是常見事物的種類，而不是某個具體事物的名稱。也就是說，通常我們提到教育時，一般意義上來說可能會想到“大學”。

我認為，湯姆應(yīng)該去大學學習科學。
In this case, 'university' is a common noun. On the other hand, when 'university' is used as part of a name it becomes part of a proper noun (see below).
在這種情況下，university（大學）是一個普通名詞。另一方面，當university用作某個名稱的一部分時，它就屬于專有名詞（見下文）。

梅雷迪斯決定去俄勒岡大學。
Note that common nouns that are used as the part of a name and become proper nouns are always capitalized. Here are some common nouns that are often used as common nouns and part of names.
注意，普通名詞用于指代名稱時就成了專有名詞，這時應(yīng)該大寫。下面是一些常見的用于事物名稱的普通名詞。
