famous什么意思(famous for什么意思)

Well- known通常指較小的圈子，或處于特定情況下的人，但仍然為很多人所熟知。Famous可以指某人或某事，意思是很多人知道他們/它的名字或聽說過他們/它。名人Celebrity通常用來指非常有名的人，即a famous person。

用英語解釋：

Well-known means someone or something is known by many people or by the people involved in a particular situation.

If someone or something is famous, a lot of people know their name or have heard about them。

Famous的字典解釋：

Having a widespread reputation, usually of a favorable nature;

renowned; celebrated: a famous writer.

例句：

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a famous writer?

The picture of Mona Lisa's smile is the world's most famous picture.

clearly or fully known: The well-known reasons are obvious.

generally or widely known: a well-known painting.

Well-known與famous類似，都有“著名”的含義，然而它也描述了某個特定群體中的人。

例如，你可以說你們學校的校長在學校很有名。他/她是校長，所以每個人都認識他/她。你不能用“famous”這個詞，因為你們城市以外的大多數人可能都不在乎你們學校的校長。

例如：

“Famous”通常用來描述一個很多人都認識的名人或重要人物。但famous并不一定都是褒義，有時也可能因名聲不好而緋聞天下。這時候較好的一個詞是popular。Popular就是贏得很多人的心。一個popular的人會被成千上萬的人喜歡。但famous不是一回事。Famous只是被很多人熟知。一個有名的人可能被成千上萬的人知道，但這并不意味著他是被喜歡和愛的人。以一個政治家為例。他可以出名，但不受歡迎。然而，當一個人很受歡迎時（popular），他自然也會出名。

舉例來說famous:

Hitler was famous throughout the world and even today his name is known by most of us.

通過這個例句可看出一個人出名不一定要投身于有價值的事業;他甚至可以是邪惡的或具有破壞性的。
