用法辨析
- ability的基本意思是泛指做各种事情的“能力”。可以指体力方面的,也可以指智力方面的,有时还指法律上的能力;可以是生来就有的生理功能,也可以是后天通过实践学得的。作此解时仅指能力而不涉及能力的高低,只用单数形式。ability指“智力,技能”时用作可数名词,且常用于复数形式。ability也可指“聪明,智慧”,这时用作不可数名词。单独用ability或abilities时除带后置修饰语或有上下文提示者外,一般都指智力。
- 表示“在某方面有能力”时ability可接介词in, at, for等;表示“做某事的能力”时可接动词不定式,也可接“in+动名词”,但不接“of+动名词”。表示“有能力的”,可说ability of。
- ability to do it前通常有限定词,即可以说an ability to do it,也可以说the ability to do it,还可以说sb's ability to do it。注意这种结构中的动词不定式不可用于被动语态。
- abilities有时可和many连用。
- 指体力或智力时,后通常接不定式;
- 单用时,通常指智力,如great ability;
- ability to do it前经常用the/an。
