Use vs. usage

今天拜訪了Google大神了解一下use and usage用法的差別,沒有查到真的很清楚的分別方法,但是一般來說,usage比較常用在以下一些情況:

1. 習慣或習俗(habitual or customary practice),the usage of social media is on the rise. 
2. (語言)用法或慣用語:"Lift" is a British usage of electronic device that carries people up and down a building. 
3. 使用或對待方式:The washing machine was damaged out of rough usage.

Use的使用範圍相對寬廣,可以當名詞或動詞使用,基本上,中文的「使用」和「用法」都可以用use,如果不清楚要用use or usage,可能使用use比較不容易有問題囉。
