Almost everyone aspires to become one. But not everyone gets out. The failed one has to be satisfied with the role of an ordinary performer. Probably enough to confuse the reader and catch up with the fog, today we are considering the noun "as", and it will be interesting.
Meaning
It is also curious that people who more or less love cinema associate the word not with virtuoso pilots, but with the old Italian comedy with Adriano Celentano, which is called “Ace” (1981), although it seems to be his official translation is somewhat different - "Ace". In any case, the film is suitable for illustration, because the matter is not limited to sound association. In the Italian comedy, with all the humor, the story is told about the real master of his craft - the card sharper Asya. But, in order not to be unfounded, we give the data of the explanatory dictionary:
- An outstanding pilot in terms of flight and combat skills.
- Great master, excellent specialist.
The first meaning is direct, the second is figurative. Probably, the word came to us just from a professionalpilots dictionary. Those who didn't know about it will be surprised. But now the meaning of the word "as" will be filled with additional meaning.
Although this is not an official title, ace is an extremely important “title” for a person, because it means that he has already achieved a lot in life: he has mastered skills at a high level.
Synonyms
To facilitate the understanding of the word, we will select worthy replacements for it. The list will look like this:
- master;
- specialist;
- doka;
- virtuoso;
- golden hands.
Yes, one phraseological unit even got into the list of synonyms, well, don't drive it away. Moreover, he is absolutely right in form. As is a person who has golden hands. By the way, the last stable phrase applies even to those who are not engaged in physical labor. Remember, for example, the famous episode when Marlene Dietrich kissed the hand of our writer Konstantin Paustovsky. Of course, the idea, as well as all the subtleties and details, are born in the head, but the idea is still embodied by hand. Therefore, everything is fair.
Ace or Ace?
The question is both simple and complex at the same time. Because the definition includes a huge number of people who were lucky enough to become at least someone in their lives. Each activity has its own specialists, aces, this is understandable. Someone understands motors so that you can gasp. There are even people who know only one engine model thoroughly, and they can still be called aces. There are mastersamong teachers, and among doctors, and they are not always awarded with many awards. We hope the reader knows about these absolutely wonderful people. No matter how offended we are, we will have to leave honest workers aside and talk about cinema. But not because only those who work there are experts, this should not be thought. Just a visual image is better remembered. That is, we are guided by purely practical considerations.
Of course, to illustrate our object of study, we could take special agents, swindlers, policemen, but a completely inappropriate character comes to mind - Ace Ventura, who, under the mask of a jester, hides a remarkable mind, insight and observation.
You can love or not love Jim Carrey, but it's hard to argue with the fact that Ace is an ace, a highly qualified specialist. After all, if the “bestial” detective chose a different path and investigated kidnappings, then everyone would respect him without exception, however, the police would treat him the same way.
