1. 1不熟練的、外行的(偏書面;口語較常說不太會、沒經驗)

    An inexpert person does not have the skill to do the job well. It is not a word for “stupid.” It only says the skill is not there yet, or not there for this task.

    An inexpert person一個inexpert(不熟練)的人 does not have the skill to do the job well沒有把這件事做好的技術。It is not a word for "stupid."這不是形容『笨』的字。It only says只是說 the skill is not there yet技術還沒到位, or not there for this task或是對這件事來說技術還不夠。

    You can also call the work inexpert: a job done without much skill.

    You can also call the work inexpert你也可以說這份工作是inexpert(做得不熟練)的: a job done without much skill一份做得沒什麼技術的工作。

    The word is fairly formal, and a little old-fashioned. In speech, people more often say “not very good at it,” “unskilled,” or “.” Though actually, inexpert and are not the same: is about how little time you have had; inexpert is about the skill you show right now. A person can be new and already quite expert, or long and still inexpert.

    The word is fairly formal這個字相當正式, and a little old-fashioned而且有點過時。In speech在口語裡, people more often say人們比較常說 "not very good at it," "unskilled," or "inexperienced."「not very good at it(不太會)」、「unskilled(沒技術)」或「inexperienced(沒經驗)」。Though actually不過其實, inexpert and inexperienced are not the sameinexpert和inexperienced並不一樣: inexperienced is about how little time you have hadinexperienced講的是你經歷的時間有多少; inexpert is about the skill you show right nowinexpert講的是你現在展現出來的技術。 A person can be new and already quite expert一個人可以是新手卻已經很厲害, or long practised and still inexpert也可以練了很久卻還是不熟練。

    Today it is almost always an adjective. Using it as a noun (“an inexpert”) is rare.

    A person can be new and already quite expert一個人可以是新手卻已經很厲害, or long practised and still inexpert也可以練了很久卻還是不熟練。Today今天, it is almost always an adjective這個字幾乎都是當形容詞用。Using it as a noun把它當名詞用 ("an inexpert")(「an inexpert」) is rare是很少見的。
