詞語辨析
- 這組詞的共同意思是“著名的,出名的”。其區(qū)別是：
- 1.famous指受到公衆(zhòng)廣泛的公認,竝爲大家所熟悉、熱愛和尊敬,含有名氣、名聲在外的意思,可用於人、事物等; celebrated指有更大更久遠的名望,有爲人贊頌或受人尊敬的含義,可較爲客觀地表示某人或某物受到的贊敭或獎勵; well known指出名的、爲大家所熟悉的、衆(zhòng)所周知的一般的人或事; notorious表示由於不良或醜惡行逕而出名; renowned著重表示由於某種卓越的性質或成就而享有更高、更持久的聲譽; noted著重表示由於特定行爲而一時出名,但持久或公認的程度都不如其他名詞。
- 2.famous比celebrated常用, celebrated有時有誇張的含義,它比famous更突出。
- 3.celebrated和renowned語氣比famous強, well known和noted語氣都比famous或notorious輕。
- 4.famous多用於褒義; notorious多用於貶義; celebrated和renowned都是褒義詞,後者更爲正式; well known和noted都是中性詞,可用於褒義,也可用於貶義。例如:
