用法筆記

Universally is a strong, absolute adverb. It pairs most often with past participles (accepted, recognized, acknowledged, loved) and certain adjectives (true, available). It is more emphatic than 'widely' or 'generally' — use it only when you truly mean 'without exception across all people or places.'
