| 释义 | renowned Copperud 1964, 1970, 1980 finds that renown is commonly misused as an adjective equivalent to renowned. We have a little evidence of this curious error in our files: • ... a world-renown authority on peregrines —Massachusetts Audubon News Letter, April 1971 • ... the woven fibers are renown for their soft, silky texture —catalog, Britches of Georgetowne, Fall 1981 • ... a renown clinical psychologist —Cats Mag., December 1985 Perhaps such usage occurs because the final n of renown is felt to be a participial ending, like the final n of known or shown. Perhaps the reason is more obscure. All we know for certain is that renown is not established as an adjective in standard English. Use renowned instead. Copperud also mentions the misspellings reknown and reknowned. These are both attested in our files and should be avoided. |
