"expert in" 表示 "在……方面是专家/能手;擅长……",强调某人在某个领域、学科、技能或活动中具备专业知识、丰富经验或高超能力。
"expert in" 中的 in 是介词,后面需接名词、名词短语或动名词(-ing形式),构成完整的语义搭配。常见结构为:
用于说明某人在某个专业领域或具体事物上是专家。
He is an expert in environmental law(他是环境法专家)。
Our team hired an expert in artificial intelligence(我们团队雇了一位人工智能专家)。
My mom is an expert in traditional Chinese medicine(我妈妈是中医专家)。
用于说明某人擅长做某事(因in是介词,动词需变为动名词)。
She is an expert in solving complex math problems(她擅长解决复杂数学题)。
He's expert in repairing old motorcycles(他擅长修旧摩托车)。
They are experts in negotiating business deals(他们是商务谈判的能手)。
"expert" 的词性:既可以作名词(前面加"an",如"an expert in..."),也可以作形容词(前面不加"an",如"sb. is expert in..."),两者语义一致。
例:① She is an expert in piano playing.(名词用法)
② She is expert in playing the piano.(形容词用法)
英语中还有 "expert at" 和 "expert on",三者语义接近但侧重不同:
expert in:强调系统的领域/学科知识(如专业、学术领域);
expert at:强调具体的技能/动作(如运动、手工等);
expert on:强调对某一主题的权威认知(如某个人、某本书、某个事件)。
例:
He is an expert in physics.(物理领域的专家,侧重学科)
He is an expert at playing basketball.(擅长打篮球,侧重技能)
He is an expert on Shakespeare.(莎士比亚研究的权威,侧重主题)
1、 The company needs an expert in data analysis to improve our sales strategy.(公司需要一位数据分析专家来优化我们的销售策略。)
2、 My grandfather is expert in making wooden furniture—he built our dining table himself!(我爷爷擅长做木制家具——我们的餐桌是他自己做的!)
3、 Are you an expert in using this software? I need help with the settings.(你擅长用这个软件吗?我需要调整设置的帮助。)
综上,"expert in" 是表达"专业领域/技能擅长"的常用短语,核心是通过介词in连接具体的领域或动作,明确某人的专业能力范围。
