用法筆記
The adjective expert describes the quality of an action or the skill level of a person ('expert advice', 'she is expert at negotiating'), whereas the noun expert identifies a person's role or job title ('she is an expert in finance'). The adjective is less common after linking verbs than before nouns; the structure 'She is expert at…' exists but is more formal than using 'skilled' or 'good'.
