Personality is often used to mean .celebrity,. particularly in popular journalism,as inThe show features interviews with entertainment personalities. A case can be made for the usage,since many of the persons so described are best known simply for who they are rather than what they have done.Thuspersonality may be an appropriate description of someone who is best known by virtue of his or her frequent appearances as a television host or an advertising spokesperson, but it is slighting when used of people whose renown is based on substantive achievements.Perhaps for this reason,the word was unacceptable to 57 percent of the Usage Panel in an earlier survey.
Personality 常用來表示.著名人物.， 特別用在一些大眾雜誌中，如在電影演員與娛樂圈知名人士對話 中。 一種情形能夠用於這種用法，因為許多這樣描述的人僅因他們是誰而並不解他們所做的事而著名。所以personality 可能是對因作為電視節目主持人或廣告角色頻繁出現而著名的一類人的合適稱呼， 但如果用於那些憑藉實在成績而著名的人物就顯得粗魯了。可能因為這個原因，在早期調查中有57%用法小組的專家不接受這個詞
