You can picture a specialty as the one thing a person or place has put all its effort into, until that thing becomes what they are known for. Others may do many things ; this is the thing they do better than the rest, and it is the thing people come to them for.

可以想成「一個人或一個地方把力氣集中在某一樣東西上,久了那樣東西就變成別人認得他們的招牌」。別的事情也許都做得普普通通,但這一樣特別拿手,於是大家專門為了它而來。醫生的 specialty 是他鑽研的科別,餐廳的 specialty 是客人指名要點的那道菜——同一個畫面,只是換了不同的舞台。
