competence 是名词，指「具备有效完成任务所需的技能、知识和判断力」，强调达到专业标准的能力。competence in sth.（在某方面的能力：competence in foreign languages = 外语能力）；demonstrate competence（展示能力）；形容词 competent（有能力的，称职的：a competent professional = 称职的专业人士；competent to do = 有资质做）。辨析：competence（能力，重在「达到标准」的专业素质）vs. capability（能力，重在「有潜力」：organizational capability = 组织能力）vs. ability（能力，最广泛：the ability to learn = 学习能力）vs. proficiency（精通，高水平：language proficiency = 语言熟练度）。注意：英式 competence（= competency），复数形式 competencies 常见于人力资源/教育语境。

陷阱
⚠️competence（能力，达到标准）vs. capability（潜力/能力，更广义）

✗
competence = capability（两者完全一样）
✓
competence（胜任力，重在「达到当前专业标准」：competence in managing funds = 管理资金的当前胜任能力）；capability（能力，重在「潜力」或「系统性能力」：the organisation's capability to expand = 扩张的潜力/能力）；此句两词分别描述当前表现和未来潜力，正确
competencecompetence（能力，达到专业标准：competence in a language = 语言胜任能力；general professional standard）proficiencyproficiency（精通，熟练度：language proficiency = 语言熟练度；demonstrate proficiency = 展示熟练；比 competence 程度更高，强调「高水平，熟练」而非仅「达标」）
