易错句子Don't worry; it was just a garden accident.
正确表达Don't worry; it was just an ordinary accident.
garden 作形容词表示“普通的、常见的”时只用于 garden variety 这类固定搭配,不能像汉语“普通的”那样自由修饰任何名词。泛指“普通的”要用 ordinary 或 common,所以这里应说 an ordinary accident。

易错句子He just has a garden-variety of cold.
正确表达He just has a garden-variety cold.
garden-variety 是形容词性复合词,直接放在名词前作定语,后面不加 of;只有 kind、type、sort 这类名词才用 “… of …” 的结构。所以正确的是 a garden-variety cold。

易错句子His cold is garden, nothing serious.
正确表达His cold is ordinary, nothing serious.
garden 表示“普通的”时只能作定语、放在名词前,不能作表语跟在 be 动词后面;作表语要用 ordinary 这类形容词。因此应改为 His cold is ordinary。
普通的;寻常的
It was just a garden-variety cold, nothing serious.
那不过是普通的感冒,没什么大不了的。
普普通通的;平平常常的
He's just a common or garden office worker.
他不过是个普普通通的上班族。
