How it's used
This term is almost exclusively used in the formal phrase 享負盛譽, which functions as a set expression for someone or something having a distinguished reputation. It carries a sense of prestige and long-standing recognition that goes beyond simple popularity. You will rarely hear it used in casual, everyday speech outside of this specific collocation.
Examples
He enjoys a high reputation in the industry, and everyone respects him a lot.

Common mistake
Learners often try to use it as a standalone noun like 聲譽, but it is grammatically awkward unless paired with 享負 to form the standard expression.
