 ♣ famous as, famous for
　这两个短语的共同意思是“以…而出名”。其区别是：
1. 主语为人时， famous for意为“以某种知识、技能而闻名”；而famous as意为“以某种身份出名”。
2. 主语为事物时， famous for意为“以其内容、特征而闻名”；而famous as意为“以某种形式而出名”。
3. 主语为地点名词时， famous as意为“以某种特产而闻名”; famous for意为“以产地或地方而闻名”。
 ♣ famous, celebrated, noted, notorious, renowned, well-known
　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。
4. famous多用于褒义；notorious多用于贬义；celebrated和renowned都是褒义词，后者更为正式；well-known和noted都是中性词，可用于褒义，也可用于贬义。例如：
　He is a famous painter.　他是一个著名画家。
　Hangzhou is celebrated for its beautiful scenery.　杭州以其美丽的风景著名。
　Edison was renowned as a great inventor.　爱迪生作为伟大的发明家而享有盛誉。
　He is notorious as a deadbeat.　他是个声名狼藉的二流子。
　Jim was noted for arriving late for work.　吉姆曾因上班迟到而出过名。
　The restaurant is well-known for its fried noodle.　那家饭馆以炒面著称。

1. 这个富人以吝啬、贪婪出名。
　［误］ The rich man is famous for his miserliness and greediness.
　［正］ The rich man is notorious for his miserliness and greediness.
　［析］ famous通常用于褒义，是“闻名遐迩”的意思。notorious只用于贬义，是“臭名昭著的，声名狼藉的”意思。
2. 作为一名科学家，他以丰富的知识而闻名于世。
　［误］ As a scientist, he is famous by his knowledge in the world.
　［正］ As a scientist, he is famous for his knowledge in the world.
　［析］ be famous for是固定词组，表示“以某种知识〔技能〕而著名”，其中介词for不能改为by.

　famous　一般不用来修饰那些已明显地众所周知的人。例如：
　The novel is about (the famous) Newton.　这部小说写的是关于牛顿的。但是，如果famous所修饰的人的名字只限于某段时间和某些人知道，则可用famous修饰。

　［同义词］ celebrated, eminent, famed, illustrious, renowned, well-known
　［反义词］ anonymous, obscure, unknown
　［词源］　拉丁语famosus
