All friends,
I have a question to ask to everyone.
"Shanghai is famous for its night views." and "Shanghai is known for its night views." and "Shanghai is known as its night views". What are difference between the three sentences?
Thank you very much.

The first two have the same meaning. Using "famous" emphasises the point stronger than "known". The third sentence isn't quite correct, "known as" is used for sentences like "Shanghai was known as the Paris of the East"

谢谢你,graham.谢谢你的帮助.这是我女儿的一道英语题.原句是这样的:Shanghai is famous for its night views.(保持句意不变)
"Shanghai is known ----- its night views."空格里我女儿填了"FOR"老师批她错,说答案是"AS".我也认为"FOR"是对的.但我没把握.所以向大家请教.你的回答使我确信"FOR"是对的.非常感谢你.:)
