短释义
Proficient comes from the Latin for making progress, so if someone is proficient, they have made so much progress that they’ve become good at something. Use proficient to talk about improvement through practice instead of natural ability; even a person with no inherent skill at language can become proficient in Latin. If you’re proficient at tennis, you’re good, but it doesn’t imply the kind of mastery for which the expert is used.
当一个人擅长某件事时,他们就精通了。玩了这么多个小时的电子游戏后,您一定已经非常熟练了。

Proficient 来自拉丁语,意思是“取得进步”,所以如果某人精通,那么他们已经取得了很大的进步,以至于他们在某方面变得擅长。用proficiency来谈论通过实践提高而不是天生的能力;即使一个没有语言天赋的人也可以精通拉丁语。如果你精通网球,那你就很好,但这并不意味着专家所需要的那种精通。
