1. 1nB2/ˈeksələns/卓越;優秀

    the quality of being extremely good at something.

    示範例句 · Example

    Everyone praised the excellence of Mei's piano performance.

    逐字每個人稱讚了美的鋼琴表演的卓越。

    「excellence」是名詞,核心意思是「非常好的品質/程度」——把「好到極高」這件事說成一個名字。它通常不可數,所以多半說 excellence、academic excellence,不說 an excellence。和 excellent 很近:excellent 是形容詞(an excellent job),excellence 是那個「優秀」本身(a reputation for excellence)。常見畫面:excellence in science(在科學上的卓越)、strive for excellence(追求卓越)。

Picture the level a piece of work reaches when it is not just correct but clearly above the rest — the kitchen that gets everything right night after night, the team nobody can fault. Excellence names that quality itself, held apart from any one person who happens to have it.

可以想成:一件事被做到的那個高度——不只是對,而是明顯高過其他人:那間每晚都端得出水準的廚房,那支挑不出毛病的團隊。excellence 指的是「那份品質」本身,跟碰巧擁有它的某個人分開來看。
