Here is where students get pulled in: the word is popular in tourism and menus. Small restaurants advertise their "world-famous" beef ; a town calls its little festival world-famous. Everyone knows this is friendly , and in a serious essay it can make you sound like a poster.
Here is where students get pulled in學生容易在這裡被拉走:the word這個字 in tourism and menus在觀光和菜單裡 is enormously popular紅得不得了。Small restaurants小餐館 advertise廣告著 their自家 "world-famous"「全世界都知道」的 beef noodles牛肉麵;a town一個小鎮 its little festival把自己的小節慶 calls說成 world-famous世界都有名。Everyone大家 knows都知道 this is friendly exaggeration這是善意的誇飾,and但 in a serious essay在正式的作文裡 it它 can make you sound可能讓你聽起來 like a poster像一張海報。
If you actually mean "very well known here", say famous, well known, or famous throughout Taiwan. Save world-famous for names that truly cross borders.
If you actually mean如果你其實想說的是 "very well known here"「在這裡很有名」,say就說 famous、well known、or或 famous throughout Taiwan。Save留著 world-famous,for給 truly cross borders真正跨得過國界 names that的那些名字。
組成world + famous — famous across the world. Famous comes from Latin fama, meaning talk, report, or reputation, so the compound is really "talked about everywhere".
