    1. 这是什么词?

    词:iconic

    英英释义:very famous and well known, and believed to represent a particular idea

    例句:Steve Jobs was an iconic entrepreneur and businessman.

    2. 为什么选这个词?

    我们都很熟悉名词“icon”,常用来表示“图标”,也可以表示“偶像” “代表人物”。今天我们学习它的形容词形式 iconic,意思是“偶像的”“标志性的”。在一些语境下它可以用来替换 important,famous,impressive 等词。

    iconic 可以形容物也可以形容人。比如:

    Nike/Starbucks/Coca-Cola/Tesla is an iconic brand.

    Steve Jobs was an iconic entrepreneur and businessman.

    《经济学人》在创刊 175 周年之际出版了第一本明信片书 Cover Story: A History in 100 Postcards,把 100 张精选的往期经典封面做成了明信片。官网上是这样介绍这本书的:

    Cover Story is a postcard collection celebrating 175 years of iconic covers from The Economist.

    《经济学人》在提到著名建筑“鸟巢”时用的就是 iconic:

    Mr Zhong is a “grid manager” operating in part of Huayan Beili Xi Community, a middle-class residential area near the capital’s iconic “bird’s nest” Olympic stadium.

    3. 怎样学会使用这个词?

    1)翻译下面的句子:

    在阿汤哥(Tom Cruise)近 40 年的职业生涯中,他扮演过许多经典角色。

    Tom Cruise has played many iconic roles in his forty years of acting career.

    (参考翻译:Over the course of his nearly four-decade career, Tom Cruise has played many iconic characters.)

    2)结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等,想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景,再造句。

    Jay Chou is an iconic singer in the past two decades.
