degree of readiness meaning in English

准备程度

Fortunately i had had the advantage of being taught french by a french lady ; and as i had always made a point of conversing with madame pierrot as often as i could , and had besides , during the last seven years , learnt a portion of french by heart daily - applying myself to take pains with my accent , and imitating as closely as possible the pronunciation of my teacher , i had acquired a certain degree of readiness and correctness in the language , and was not likely to be much at a loss with mademoiselle adela
幸好我得益于曾拜一个法国太太为师，学过法语。那时我下了决心抓紧一切机会同皮埃罗夫人交谈。此外，过去七年来还坚持每天背诵一段法语，在语调上狠下功夫，逼真地模仿我老师的发音，因而我的法语已经相当流利和准确，不至于听不懂阿德拉小姐说的话。
