The words principle and principal are pronounced in the same way but they do not have the same meaning.
Principle和principal發音相同並且都是名詞,但是它們的意思卻完全不同

principal是一個名詞,意為「首領」或「領導」。

It can also be an adjective meaning highest in rank:
它也可以是一個形容詞,意思是「最主要的」。

Principle
Principle is only a noun and generally refers to a natural, moral, legal rule or standard.

Remember the Difference
A great way to remember the differences between principle versus principal is found in thelast three lettersof each word.
記住principle和principal的區別的一個好方法主要在每個單詞的最後三個字母。
Someone who is a 「princi-P-A-L」 should be looked at as your 「pal.」 Only people can be 「pals」 and principal refers to people, whereas 「princi-P-L-E」 refers to truths, rules, or standards. A truth or standard cannot be your 「pal.」
「princi-P-A-L」應該被視為你的「pal(朋友)」。只有人可以成為「pals」,principal指的是人,而「princi-P-L-E」指的是真理、規則或標準。真理或標準不能成為你的「pal」。
You can also remember the mnemonic, 「The principal has his principles.」
你也可以記住這樣一句話:校長有他的原則。
