eminent的意思是“著名的;杰出的;卓越的”,它与famous的搭配相同吗?比如:
be famous for / be eminent for 因为……著名
be famous to / be eminent to 为……所熟知
be famous as / be eminent as 以……身份出名
老师答疑
曾老师:
eminent(著名的,闻名的),可与介词 for, as 搭配使用。如:
She was eminent for her piety. 她以虔诚闻名。(《21世纪英汉汉英双向词典》)
He is eminent as a painter. 他是一位著名的画家。(《21世纪英汉汉英双向词典》)
由此可见 eminent 与 famous 的搭配是相同的,但表“为……所熟知”常用“be (well) known to”,如:
The actor is well known to us. 我们熟知这个演员。(《简明英汉词典》)
He is well-known to the local police. 当地警察都知道他。(《柯林斯高阶英语词典》)
