1. 1aB2/ˌɪnɪkˈspɪriənst/ · /ˌɪnɪkˈspɪəriənst/經驗不足的;沒經驗的

    Not having done something very much — either because you have never done it, or because you have only been doing it for a short time — so you still do not know much about it.

    示範例句 · Example

    There are a lot of young, inexperienced players on our team this year.

    逐字在我們隊上今年有很多年輕、沒經驗的球員。

    「inexperienced」說的是「這件事做得還不夠多」:可能一次都沒做過,也可能才剛開始做沒多久。它形容的是經驗的量,不是聰不聰明、能力好不好——一個很厲害的人換到全新的領域,一樣是 inexperienced。可以想成 experienced(有經驗的)前面加上 in-,把「已經累積夠了」變成「還在累積」。前面常配 too、relatively、young and。

core核心畫面

Someone standing at the start of something, with too few hours behind them. Not stupid, not lacking talent — they simply have not done this enough times yet for it to have taught them anything.

一個人站在某件事的起點上,身後累積的時數還太少。他可能很聰明、學得很快,但這件事他就是還沒做過幾次——而有些東西只有做過才會知道。這個字指的正是這種「次數不夠」的狀態:不是笨,不是沒天分,是還沒被實作教過。所以它天生帶著時間性——同一個人,半年後就不再是 inexperienced 了。
