在這句中,Greek為何是專有名詞?

The computer is Greek to my mother.

在這句中,Greek 既不是指希臘人,也不是指希臘語,所以不是專有名詞,但為何第一個字母仍要大寫?

In this sentence, the word "Greek" in deed refers to the "Greek language", so it is in fact a proper name and needs to be capitalized.
The meaning of the sentence is that my mother does not know anything about computers, and does not know the Greek language, so to her, using a computer is just like reading the Greek language.
