- 這是什么詞舶吗？
詞：iconic

例句：Steve Jobs was an iconic entrepreneur and businessman.
2. 為什么選這個詞？
我們都很熟悉名詞“icon”呵扛，常用來表示“圖標(biāo)”伦籍，也可以表示“偶像” “代表人物”。今天我們學(xué)習(xí)它的形容詞形式 iconic洛二，意思是“偶像的”“標(biāo)志性的”。在一些語境下它可以用來替換 important，famous楷拳，impressive 等詞苦丁。
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.

2）結(jié)合自己的生活掠哥、學(xué)習(xí)、工作、興趣等，想象在什么語境下會用到這個表達(dá)渴丸。先簡要描述這個場景土童，再造句王污。
