把 renown 拆成 re-nown，联想 known（知道）：被反复知道，就是名望。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：文学作品、正式演讲、人物传记 renown 指广泛认可的名声或名望，多用于正式书面语或正式场合，如文学、演讲和传记；日常口语中更常用 fame。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都和 renown 的重读部分 /naʊn/ 押韵，并且都含有相同的拼写片段 -own。注意：known /noʊn/、own /oʊn/、shown /ʃoʊn/ 等虽然也以 -own 结尾，但元音是 /oʊ/，发音更接近 bone /boʊn/，并不和 renown 押韵。另外，renown 的后半部分听起来和 noun /naʊn/ 一样。
