Question

notorious adj.臭名昭著的 (1) 他因行为不检点而声名狼藉。(2) 那地区以浓雾出名。(3) 希特勒是一个臭名昭著的独裁者。(4) 那个臭名昭著的偷窃犯将于下周出庭受审。(5) 他们把这地方变成了臭名昭著的海盗中心。 A good synonym for notorious is infamous; both words mean "well-known, and not in a good way." A celebrity convicted of a series of crimes might be referred to as notorious, as might a book that has been banned in several countries. The word originally meant just "famous" and could carry either positive or negative connotations. Only in recent centuries did the negative uses start to outweigh the positive ones. In general, you'd rather be famous than notorious, unless you're looking to build a bad reputation.
