Greetings! The summer is winding down - another poignant illustration of the rule that all good things must come to an end. So it is, as well, with beauty, talent, and fame. Sobering thoughts.
FAMOUS (FOR) 有名な、名高い
- A person, place, or thing is famous when it is very well known or is considered great by many people.
To explain why something is famous, we use the phrase famous FOR; for example, Tsukiji is famous for its fish market. - 人、場所、物が、多くの人によく知られていること、名高いことを famous といいます。
なぜ有名なのかを説明したいとき、famous FOR(~で有名だ)というフレーズを使います。例:Tsukiji is famous for its fish market.「築地は魚市場で有名です。」
- I don't understand why that singer is so famous. Her voice is nothing special.
- The most famous shoes in the world are Cinderella's glass slippers.
- That actor has become very popular recently. I'm sure he'll be famous someday.
- Kyoto is famous for its temples and shrines.
- a: What is your hometown famous for?
b: Nothing. Few people have ever heard of it.
Take care!
