【英语】prominent和eminent的区别
请问这两个词的区别.

答案

eminent: 显赫的,有名的,优良的（形容人或人的品质）
prominent . 卓越的, 显著的, 突出的, 凸出的 （形容人或物）
区别在于：后者可以形容物,有凸出或打眼的意思.
比如The building is prominent.
Your nose is prominent in the face.
Her photo was prominently displayed on his desk
eminent形容人时有"尊敬"的意思,有道德高尚的意思.
Eminent contains the idea of respected.
Prominent has the idea of being well-known and important.
从上面的解释可以看出,他们的一点差别.例如:
For example, a pop star might be prominent but they probably wouldn't be described as eminent.
