Zhuge Liang was widely acclaimed for his intellectual and military prowess.(“intellectual and military prowess”就表示“在智力和军事上有杰出的才能”)
《经济学人》中也经常用到 prowess,比如在提到中国的南通市时写到: Nantong, a city about 150km north of Shanghai, demonstrates both China's prowess in infrastructure and what seems to be a newfound restraint.
提到丘吉尔时写到: Over-confident of his prowess as a strategist, he made serious mistakes during the second world war, too.
3. 怎样学会使用这个词?
1)使用《牛津英语搭配词典》查“prowess”;
2)翻译下面的句子: 他是个让人羡慕的学霸。
(参考翻译:His academic/exam-acing prowess is the envy of his peers.
或者 He is the envy of his cohorts by demonstrating his prowess in exams.)
