    It is weaker than famous: you can be notable in one town or one subject without everyone knowing your name. It is stronger than just 'easy to see'.

    It它 is weaker than famous比famous弱:you can be notable in one town or one subject without everyone knowing your name你可以在一個小鎮或一個領域裡notable,但不是每個人都知道你的名字。It它 is stronger than just 'easy to see'比單純的「容易被看見」還要強一點

    You will meet it more in writing and news than in very casual talk, where people often say big, important, or famous instead.

    You你 will meet it more in writing and news than in very casual talk比較常在寫作和新聞裡遇到這個詞,而不是很隨性的對話,where people often say big, important, or famous instead那種場合人們比較常說big、important或famous

    There is also a noun: a notable, or the notables, meaning an important person — a little old and formal.

    There is also a noun還有一個名詞用法:a notable, or the notables一個notable、或the notables,meaning an important person意思是重要人物──a little old and formal有點老派又正式

    Though actually an older English note meaning 'use, profit' once fed some senses, so old pages can use notable more like 'useful'; you will almost never need that now. The 'worth noticing' meaning is the one that lived.

    Though actually不過事實上,an older English note meaning 'use, profit'一個比較舊的英文note意思是「用處、利益」 once fed some senses曾經影響過一些字義,so old pages can use notable more like 'useful'所以老文章裡的notable有時候比較像「有用的」;you will almost never need that now現在你幾乎不會用到那個意思。The 'worth noticing' meaning「值得注意」這個意思 is the one that lived才是留下來的那個
