Overview
- 1概述：“卓著” (zhuó zhù) 是一个极具正式色彩的褒义形容词，常用于书面语中。它由“卓”（卓越、高超）和“著”（显著、明显）两个字组成，合起来表示某项事物（通常是抽象的成就、效果或贡献）达到了极高的水准，且这种优异是显而易见的。
常见语境：它频繁出现在政府公文、学术评价、企业年度报告以及历史人物传记中。例如，评价一位科学家的科研成果，或是一位政治家的治理成效。
- 1词义辨析：“卓著”与“卓越”虽然都有“好”的意思，但“卓越”更侧重于人的内在品质或事物的整体素质（如卓越的领导力）；而“卓著”更侧重于已经产生的结果和外部的影响力（如成效卓著）。与“显著”相比，“卓著”的褒义程度更深，且专指极高的成就。
