词语辨析
- 这组词的共同意思是“著名的,出名的”。其区别是：
- 1.famous指受到公众广泛的公认,并为大家所熟悉、热爱和尊敬,含有名气、名声在外的意思,可用于人、事物等; celebrated指有更大更久远的名望,有为人赞颂或受人尊敬的含义,可较为客观地表示某人或某物受到的赞扬或奖励; well known指出名的、为大家所熟悉的、众所周知的一般的人或事; notorious表示由于不良或丑恶行径而出名; renowned着重表示由于某种卓越的性质或成就而享有更高、更持久的声誉; noted着重表示由于特定行为而一时出名,但持久或公认的程度都不如其他名词。
- 2.famous比celebrated常用, celebrated有时有夸张的含义,它比famous更突出。
- 3.celebrated和renowned语气比famous强, well known和noted语气都比famous或notorious轻。
