The nounindividual is used unexceptionably when it refers to an individual person as opposed to a larger social group or as distinguished from others by some special quality:
當指作為大的社會群體的對立面或以一些特殊的性質與其他人不同的單個的人時,用individual 這個名詞是恰如其分的:
例句:

.這不僅僅是個人的危機,而且是社會的危機. (雷蒙德·威廉士)。

例句:
She is a real individual.
她是一個真正有個性的人。

Since the 9th century, however,there have been numerous critical objections to use of the word to refer simply to .a person. where no larger contrast is implied,as inTwo individuals were placed under arrest or The Mayor will make time for any individual who wants to talk to her. In such contexts the wordsperson and people will usually do the same semantic job with less affectation.
不過9世紀以後,這個詞被用來僅指.一個人.,而沒有暗含與群體相對的意思;但這種用法引起了很多批評和反對。例如在兩人被捕了誰要想和市長談談,她都願意騰出時間 這兩句話中。在這樣的上下文中, 用personpeople 可以表達同樣的意思,也不顯得矯揉造作
