- 1著名的、享有盛名的
Celebrated, in this sense, means famous — known by many people, usually for something good. A celebrated writer, a celebrated scientist, a celebrated restaurant: people have heard of them, and they are often praised. It feels a little more formal, and a little warmer, than famous. Famous can be anyone the public knows, even for a bad reason; celebrated usually says people respect this. Though actually, you will also see celebrated as the past of the verb celebrate (“they celebrated last night”). That is a different job. This sense is the adjective: she is a celebrated .
celebrated 在這裡是形容詞,意思是著名、享有盛名,通常是因為做了受人敬重的事。名詞前常見「a celebrated + 名詞」,像「a celebrated writer」,指大家聽過也很推崇的作家。語氣比 famous 稍微正式,也多了一點尊重。它同時是 celebrate 的過去式,例如「they celebrated last night」,那是慶祝的動作,不是這個意思。
