Prestigious, respected, respectable and admirable can all mean worthy of respect, but they differ. Prestigious describes institutions or awards with high status. Respected describes a person admired for reputation or integrity. Respectable means decent, weaker than others. Admirable expresses admiration for a quality, especially courage.

这几个词都能表达“值得尊敬”或“令人钦佩”之意，但侧重点和搭配对象不同：prestigious多形容机构、奖项或职位的社会地位与声望；respected多形容因广受认可而受人尊敬的人；respectable多形容尚可接受、过得去的水平（如工资、外表），语气较弱；admirable则强调对某种品质或行为的钦佩，常见于“It was admirable how…”句型中。
