Classic一字有多重意义。一个意义是「典型」、「代表性」,即是某个事物具备同类型事物的所有特征或特色,可以作为该类事物的代表。 Tai O is a classic example of a fishing village in the old days. 大澳是昔日渔村的典型例子。

Classic另一个意义是「精辟」、「优秀」,表示某个作品(特别是文章或电影)是同类中最优秀的作品。
Death on the Nile is one of the classic works of Agatha Christie. 《尼罗河之死》是克里斯蒂的优秀作品之一。
然而classical的意义是「古典」,指一些古典时间的作品,或指一些属于古典风格的作品,特别应用于形容音乐或文学,通常表示这些作品具有长远历史。
That piece of classical music was written by Mozart. 这个古典音乐乐章是莫扎特的作品。

classical也带有「传统」的意义,特别是指一些传统学派。
