nciku Note

著名 vs. 有名

著名 vs. 有名
zhùmíng vs. yǒumíng

Both words are adjectives indicating that the name is known by a lot of people. Both can function as attributive and predicate. 有名 is colloquial and can be an adverbial, it can also be used in a derogatory sense.

(1) 李白是中国古代著名有名)的浪漫主义诗人。
(2) 这一带的风景是著名有名)。
(3) 这就是有名著名)的北京烤鸭。
(4) 他是当地有名的无赖。

Example (4) is derogatory and very colloquial, therefore 著名 cannot be used.

两个形容词都表示又名生活名字为很多人知道,一般做定语和谓语。“有名”用于口语,并且可作状语,有时可含贬义。
例(4) 含贬义,而且很口语化,所以不能用“著名”替代。
