celebrity

Compared meaning: the state of being famous or well-known (noun).

比较义项：成名、知名的状态（名词）。

• celebrity 本词

  Celebrity, used abstractly, is less common and more formal than fame; it often follows verbs like achieve or enjoy and can suggest attention from public exposure rather than lasting renown.

  名词celebrity（表示抽象状态）不如fame常用，语气也更正式，常与achieve、enjoy等动词搭配，强调因公众曝光而受到的关注，而非持久的名望。

  The young actress achieved sudden celebrity after her first film premiered.

  这位年轻女演员在她的第一部电影上映后，突然获得了名气。

• fame

  Fame is the everyday, general word for being known and talked about by many people; it fits almost any context and pairs naturally with verbs like gain, win, seek, or rise to.

  fame是表示“出名、被众人谈论”的最常用、最普通的名词，几乎适用于任何语境，常与gain、win、seek、rise to等动词搭配。

  Her fame spread quickly after she won the international singing competition.

  她赢得国际歌唱比赛后，名声迅速传开。

Celebrity and fame both can mean being known by many people. Celebrity is less common and more formal, often following achieve or enjoy. Fame is the everyday word, used with gain, win, or seek. This card does not compare celebrity meaning 'a famous person.'

这两个词都可以表示“出名、为人所知”的抽象状态，但celebrity在此义上更正式、也不如fame常用，常与achieve、enjoy等动词搭配；fame则是日常最常用的说法，可搭配的动词更多样。这里不比较celebrity表示“名人”（即知名人士本身）的常见用法。
