137 prowess
基础篇：meaing: great ability or skill
进解篇：prowess, 不可数名词，意思是“高超的技艺”，“深厚的造诣”，当我们想表达某人擅长某事时就可以用到它。
比如我们常戏称俄罗斯是战斗的民族，很大程度上是因为俄罗斯人以英勇善战而著名。这时除了用“be good at” 表达这个意思，我们还可以说：
The Russians are famed their prowess in battle.
常用搭配：language/ linguistic prowess 语言天赋
bargaining prowess 善于讲价
诸葛亮以智力、军事才能超群而闻名，我们就可以说：
Zhuge Laing was widely acclaimed for his intellectual and military prowess.
《经济学人》用例：
Nantong, a city about 150km north of Shanghai, demonstrates both China's prowess in infrastructure and what seems to be a newfound restraint.
Over-confident of his prowess as a strategist, he made serious mistakes during the second world war, too.
