sophistication
意味: The quality of being sophisticated; worldly experience, refinement, or impressive complexity.
Sophistication operates in two main senses. First, it describes worldly knowledge, refined taste, and elegant composure — the sophistication of a well-travelled person or a cosmopolitan city. Second, it describes technical or intellectual complexity — the sophistication of a computer system or a philosophical argument. It is generally positive, though it can occasionally imply over-refinement or artificiality. Common collocations include 'a degree of sophistication,' 'growing sophistication,' and 'technical sophistication.'
