If you generalize, you say something that seems to be true in most situations or for most people, but that may not be completely true in all cases.
例句
'In my day, children were a lot better behaved'. — 'It's not true, you're generalizing'...“我們那個時候，孩子們要比現在聽話許多。”——“不一定，你只是在一概而論。”It's hard to generalize about Cole Porter because he wrote so many great songs that were so varied.科爾·波特寫了這么多風格迥異的優美歌曲，要對他進行概括并不是件容易的事。
VERB

If you generalize something such as an idea, you apply it more widely than its original context, as if it was true in many other situations.
例句
A child first labels the household pet cat as a 'cat' and then generalises this label to other animals that look like it.孩子會先把家中的寵物貓稱為“貓”，然后將其他像貓的動物都稱為“貓”。
