They have to be eminent, they have to be prominent, they have to be well known, they have to have had some form of achievement. That could be captaining the England football team, or having a Nobel prize, or having composed a great symphony.
Jin: 听Stephen这么一说，不是每个人都能把自己的肖像挂到国家肖像画廊里的，而是得要符合一定的标准。

Jin: 显赫，eminent.
Helen: They have to be prominent.
Jin: 卓越，prominent.
