adj.(形容詞)

well-known是復(fù)合形容詞,意思是“出名的,眾所周知的,熟悉的”,在句中用作定語(yǔ)或表語(yǔ)。

adj.(形容詞)

well-known, celebrated, famous, noted, notorious, renowned

這組詞的共同意思是“著名的,出名的”。其區(qū)別是：

1.famous指受到公眾廣泛的公認(rèn),并為大家所熟悉、熱愛(ài)和尊敬,含有名氣、名聲在外的意思,可用于人、事物等; celebrated指有更大更久遠(yuǎn)的名望,有為人贊頌或受人尊敬的含義,可較為客觀地表示某人或某物受到的贊揚(yáng)或獎(jiǎng)勵(lì); well-known指出名的、為大家所熟悉的、眾所周知的一般的人或事; notorious表示由于不良或丑惡行徑而出名; renowned著重表示由于某種卓越的性質(zhì)或成就而享有更高、更持久的聲譽(yù); noted著重表示由于特定行為而一時(shí)出名,但持久或公認(rèn)的程度都不如其他名詞。

2.famous比celebrated常用, celebrated有時(shí)有夸張的含義,它比f(wàn)amous更突出。

3.celebrated和renowned語(yǔ)氣比f(wàn)amous強(qiáng), well-known和noted語(yǔ)氣都比f(wàn)amous或notorious輕。

4.famous多用于褒義; notorious多用于貶義; celebrated和renowned都是褒義詞,后者更為正式; well-known和noted都是中性詞,可用于褒義,也可用于貶義。例如:

He is a famous painter.他是一個(gè)著名畫(huà)家。

Hangzhou is celebrated for its beautiful scenery.杭州以其美麗的風(fēng)景著名。

Edison was renowned as a great inventor.愛(ài)迪生作為偉大的發(fā)明家而享有盛譽(yù)。

He is notorious as a deadbeat.他是個(gè)聲名狼藉的二流子。

Jim was noted for arriving late for work.吉姆曾因上班遲到而出過(guò)名。

The restaurant is well-known for its fried noodle.那家飯館以炒面著稱。

adj.(形容詞)他是世界上最知名的作家之一。

誤

He is one of the world's most well-known writers.

正

He is one of the world's best-known writers.

析

well-known意為“著名的”,其最高級(jí)形式應(yīng)為best-known,不是most well-known。
