He was more than a footballing superstar, he was a celebrity.他不仅仅是足球场上的巨星，也是一位社会名流。 celebrity 名人来自拉丁词celeber, 拥挤的，出名的。 celebrity (n.)late 14c., "solemn rite or ceremony," from Old French celebrité "celebration" or directly from Latin celibritatem (nominative celebritas) "multitude, fame," from celeber "frequented, populous" (see celebrate). Meaning "condition of being famous" is from c. 1600; that of "famous person" is from 1849. When the old gods withdraw, the empty thrones cry out for a successor, and with good management, or even without management, almost any perishable bag of bones may be hoisted into the vacant seat.
