プロフェッショナルじゃない人(仕事で信頼したくない人) って英語でなんて言う?

こんばんは。昨日2回目のレッスンを16時にしました。

DMEメソッドなので、先生が質問を言ってそれに対してフルセンテンスで答えることを繰り返します。今回は新しく買ったイヤホンで授業を受けてしまい質問は録音できていないですが、このような会話をしました。全く復習せずに望んだら前回の記憶がなくてなかなか進まなかったです。。次は口に出して復習してから臨みたいなと思いました。

【今日のキーワード Today's word】

a clown (noun): a comic entertainer, especially one in a circus, wearing a traditional costume and exaggerated make-up. (-> the person who is not professional)

道化師、ピエロ(→バカ者、プロフェッショナルでない人)

調べてみると、このclownはネイティブはよく使う言葉のようです。the person who is not professionalということなので、ここではa pro ⇆ a clownを反対語としてまとめて覚えておこうと思います。

- What a clown. : なんてバカなんだ。バカだなー。
