<p>I know the word for reputation is 声誉, but how would I use this word to form sentences like:</p>

<p>Chinese has a reputation <strong>for</strong> being a hard language.</p>
<p>This boy has a reputation <strong>for</strong> being naughty.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>What would 'for' be? How do I form this structure?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-08-20)

I know the word for reputation is 声誉, but how would I use this word to form sentences like:

> Chinese has a reputation **for** being a hard language.
>
> This boy has a reputation **for** being naughty.

What would 'for' be? How do I form this structure?

Thanks.
