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是一個有爭議的詞。它的意思是並不出名的，或者不被廣泛認知的。它具有爭議在於某些美國的詞典認可這個詞，但是大多數電腦上的拼寫檢查卻不把這個詞看作正確的詞。歐洲的詞典也傾向於不認可它。

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「不出名的」是not famous。也可以用連字元把這兩個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。
