    Mei showed a high level of proficiency in English on the school test.

    逐字美在學校測驗上顯示了英語方面的高程度精通。

    「proficiency」是不可數名詞,指「某件事你已經做得不錯、夠穩的能力程度」。常見句型:proficiency in English(英語很熟練)、proficiency with computers(電腦用得很熟)、a high level of proficiency(很高的熟練度)。可以想成練習之後長出來的「好程度」——不是天生就會,而是練到能把事做好。它跟 fluency 容易並排:fluency 多半講「說得順、不停頓」;proficiency 講的是「整體能力夠不夠好」,聽、說、讀、寫或技術都算。

core核心畫面

Picture someone doing a task without hesitating — the hands know where to go, the words come out without searching. Proficiency is the level a skill reaches after enough practice that it works . It says nothing about talent; it is what practice leaves behind.

可以想成:一個人做事時不用遲疑——手知道該往哪裡去,話不用找就出來了。proficiency 指的是一項能力練到「穩定拿得出來」的那個水準。它不談天分,講的是練習留下來的東西。
