「reputation」是別人根據過去的表現，對一個人、公司或地方形成的整體看法。可以想成一份「存在別人腦中的印象檔案」，是好是壞都由過去慢慢累積。它比 image（刻意營造的形象）更看實際表現，常搭 reputation for（以…出名）、reputation as（作為…的名聲）。

Picture what people say about you in the room you just left: the shop that always fixes things for free, the student who hands work in late, the restaurant everyone tells their friends about. Nobody wrote it down and nobody voted on it - it built up slowly out of what you have already done, and it walks into the room before you do.
