用法辨析
- ability的基本意思是泛指做各種事情的“能力”。可以指體力方面的,也可以指智力方面的,有時(shí)還指法律上的能力;可以是生來就有的生理功能,也可以是后天通過實(shí)踐學(xué)得的。作此解時(shí)僅指能力而不涉及能力的高低,只用單數(shù)形式。ability指“智力,技能”時(shí)用作可數(shù)名詞,且常用于復(fù)數(shù)形式。ability也可指“聰明,智慧”,這時(shí)用作不可數(shù)名詞。單獨(dú)用ability或abilities時(shí)除帶后置修飾語或有上下文提示者外,一般都指智力。
- 表示“在某方面有能力”時(shí)ability可接介詞in, at, for等;表示“做某事的能力”時(shí)可接動(dòng)詞不定式,也可接“in+動(dòng)名詞”,但不接“of+動(dòng)名詞”。表示“有能力的”,可說ability of。
- ability to do it前通常有限定詞,即可以說an ability to do it,也可以說the ability to do it,還可以說sb's ability to do it。注意這種結(jié)構(gòu)中的動(dòng)詞不定式不可用于被動(dòng)語態(tài)。
- abilities有時(shí)可和many連用。
- 指體力或智力時(shí),后通常接不定式;
- 單用時(shí),通常指智力,如great ability;
- ability to do it前經(jīng)常用the/an。
n. (名詞)
