個別

上星期發生六個月來第二宗涉及警員的開槍事件，保安局局長認為它是「個別」事件，並說政府已經留意警員在當值和休班時所面對的壓力。While Lee called the latest shooting - the second involving police officers in six months - an "isolated" case, it has drawn attention to the stress officers face on and off duty。對於有人租用貨倉作住宅，核數署署長說The allegations relate to an isolated mishandling of one piece of property, and did not involve a large sum of public money。Isolated是「個別」的意思，常用作
形容事件或情況，例如Isolated incident/case/event。

其他例子：Police say that last week's protest was an isolated incident是「警方說上星期的抗議是個別事件」，但當它形容地方或人的時候，它解作「孤立」或「隔離」。例如：An isolated farmhouse是「孤立的農舍」，An isolated patient是「被隔離的病人」。
