newly/recently knighted
用法筆記
Used before a noun (a knighted scientist), not after a linking verb — say 'he is a knight' or 'he was knighted', not 'he is knighted'. Often preceded by 'newly' or 'recently' when the honour is fresh. Distinguish from the verb past participle (verb/1): the verb form names the moment of receiving the honour, while this adjective form describes the ongoing status afterwards.
