unfamous

Unfamous is a somewhat controversial word. It means not famous or not widely known about or respected. It is controversial in the sense that some dictionaries from the United States recognize it as a word, but most spellchecks on computers do not. European dictionaries tend to not recognize it either.
Unfamous是一個(gè)有爭議的詞。它的意思是并不出名的,或者不被廣泛認(rèn)知的。它具有爭議在于某些美國的詞典認(rèn)可這個(gè)詞,但是大多數(shù)電腦上的拼寫檢查卻不把這個(gè)詞看作正確的詞。歐洲的詞典也傾向于不認(rèn)可它。

The more common formation is not famous. This can be hyphenated to made an adjective form as well. Though, one should also consider another word such as ordinary, commonplace, or normal.
比較常見的表達(dá)“不出名的”是not famous。也可以用連字符把這兩個(gè)詞連接成形容詞形式。不過,我們也可以考慮用別的詞來表示,如ordinary、commonplace或normal。

例:
It's been believed for centuries that great writers, composers and scientists are essentially quite different from ordinary people.
幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來人們一直相信偉大的作家、作曲家和科學(xué)家從根本上就與普通人大不相同。

He was a commonplace, mean-looking man who might have been an engineer or technician of some kind.
他是一個(gè)面目平庸的普通人,可能是個(gè)工程師,或者是個(gè)技術(shù)員。

Statistics indicate that depressed patients are more likely to become ill than are normal people.
統(tǒng)計(jì)顯示抑郁癥患者比正常人更容易生病。
