语境与语域Context & Register
语域:neutral 常见场景:新闻报道、历史叙述、人物评价 通常多用于书面语或正式场合,如新闻报道、历史叙述中,形容因恶劣行为而广为人知;口语中较少用,但也可使用,带有明显贬义。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
与 infamous 押韵的常用词极少。以上词都含后缀 -ous,但注意:famous /ˈfeɪməs/ 和 enormous /ɪˈnɔːrməs/ 的结尾音同为 /məs/,但因重音元音不同,与 infamous /ˈɪnfəməs/ 不押韵;generous、nervous、dangerous 的 -ous 读 /əs/,亦不押韵。尤其注意 various /ˈveriəs/ 中的 -ous 因前面有 i 而读 /iəs/,拼写相似但读音不同。
