To be competent is to have the natural abilities or the general training necessary for any given work ; to be qualified is to have, in addition to competency, a special training, enabling one to begin the work effectively and at once. He who is competent may or may not require time to becomequalified; he who is not competent cannot become qualified, for it is not in him. [Century Dictionary]
具有 competent 的意味着具备完成任何给定工作所需的自然能力或一般训练; 具有 qualified 的意味着在能力上有所提高,使其能够有效地开始工作。具有 competent 的人可能需要时间来成为 qualified; 而不具备 competent 的人无法成为 qualified,因为这不在他的能力范围内。[世纪词典]
