我觉得prominent比较常用一些。
to be PREEMINENT is to be good or excel at something in particular.
being PROMINENT is mainly used with objects.
The best way to explain is that PREEMINENCE is directly due to someone's
diligence at something in particular.
Whereas PROMINENT covers a variety of things.
for example.
I am a PREEMINENT figure in my Japanese classes because I can grasp several
aspects of learning the language at the same time as compared to others.
The Eiffel Tower is a PROMINENT figure in France due to its size.
