norm：the usual or normal situation, way of doing sth
例句：In China marrying young is no longer the social norm.
norm：名词，意思是“常态” “规范” “标准”，在有的语境下还可以翻译为“见怪不怪” “稀松平常”。
norm可以用单数，可以用复数，作单数时一般会用“the norm”，常用作“be/become the norm”。
例句：Births out of wedlock are becoming the norm in many countries.
The social norm “men should earn more than their wives” remains unchanged.
normal还有一个派生词名词normality，它和norm一样都是名词，但意思有区别。normality的意思是正常的状态，比如印尼发生地震后，一种常态都被打破了，因此就有了生活秩序恢复正常（go back to normality）的说法；而norm的意思是长期形成的一种规范，它和exception相对。
翻译：Creative people prefer to challenge or even deviate from the norm，rather than conform to it.
造句：In China，one-child policy is no longer the social norm.
Shortgun marriage is becoming the norm in many countries.
