标题[请益] notoriety 跟 poise 在文中的意思
时间Sat Sep 16 02:19:11 2017
一篇关於莫内的文章
Almost a century since his death, the French painter Claude Monet
enjoys near-universal notoriety. His depictions of the water lilies
in his pond at Giverny, outside Paris, appear on coffee mugs, posters
and coasters around the world, and have helped turn Monet into a
household name.
第二行，为什麽会用notoriety来形容莫内呢？
notoriety是比较负面的意思不是吗？

另一篇关於Hvar小岛的文章
Perhaps most paradoxically, Hvar (pronounced hwahr) has been a popular
resort destination for over a century, and yet it seems permanently
perched on the cusp of the-next-big-thing status. Beyonce, Prince Harry
and Tom Cruise have been among its recent visitors, and last year Time
Out Croatia ran a cover article headlined “The Rise of Hvar.” Now that
Croatia is a member of the European Union, Hvar is poised to gain even
greater popularity.
倒数第二行的 poised 要怎麽理解比较好呢？ 「准备好」？
