connoisseur
含义: An expert judge in matters of fine art, food, wine, or other subjects requiring refined taste and discrimination.
Connoisseur describes a person whose deep knowledge and cultivated taste qualify them to make authoritative judgements about quality, particularly in the arts, gastronomy, and wine. The word implies not merely expertise but a refined sensibility developed through extensive experience. It is used both seriously and humorously — one might be a 'connoisseur of fine wine' or, tongue-in-cheek, a 'connoisseur of bad television.' The word retains its French pronunciation and spelling in English, lending it an air of sophistication. Common collocations include 'wine connoisseur,' 'art connoisseur,' and 'connoisseur's choice.'
