比较义项:天生的才能/能力(名词)。

  • genius

    Genius suggests an exceptional, almost innate brilliance; it is a strong word used for remarkable talent in any field, including intellectual ones, not just creative tasks.

    genius 表示一种非凡、近乎天生的杰出才能,语气较强,可用来形容任何领域中令人惊叹的天赋,不仅限于创意类活动,也包括智力方面。

    Her genius for chess earned her a place in the world championship.

    她在国际象棋方面的genius,为她赢得了参加世界锦标赛的资格。

  • flair 本词

    Flair suggests a natural, stylish knack for doing something well, especially in creative or artistic tasks; it is milder than genius and often follows 'a flair for'.

    flair 表示一种自然的、带风格感的擅长某事的本领,尤其常见于创意或艺术类任务,语气比 genius 温和,常用于“a flair for”这一搭配。

    She has a flair for mixing colors that makes every outfit look effortless.

    她在调配色彩方面很有flair,这让每套穿搭看起来都毫不费力。

Genius and flair both mean someone is naturally talented. Genius is stronger, for exceptional talent in any field. Flair is milder, for a natural, stylish knack, often in creative work like fashion or cooking. Not compared: genius as a person, or flair meaning 'style'.

genius 和 flair 都表示某人天生擅长做某事,但程度和语气不同:genius 语气更强,指非凡甚至惊人的天赋;flair 语气较轻,多指一种自然的、带风格感的本领,常见于穿搭、装饰、烹饪等创意类活动。这里不比较 genius 表示“天才(人)”的用法,也不比较 flair 表示“风格;派头”的用法。
