able,capable

這一對(duì)詞都是形容詞,又都含有“能夠”、“能干”之意,但涵義和使用場(chǎng)合有所不同,大致有如下幾點(diǎn)區(qū)別:

(一)在用作定語(yǔ)表示“能干的”意味時(shí),able所描述的范圍較概括,able 最常用詞,多用于褒義,著重指多方面的,經(jīng)常性的,或潛在性的能力。有時(shí)也指高超、非凡的能力。capable所描述的范圍較專注,因?yàn)榍罢咧改橙寺斆髂芨?,有多才多藝的概括涵義;后者僅指具有應(yīng)付某一特指工作要求的能力。例:

She is the ablest girl I’ve ever met. 她是我見(jiàn)到過(guò)的最有才干的姑娘。

She is an able teacher

她是個(gè)能干的教師。

He made a very able speech. 他作了一篇很出色的講話。

He is an able man. 他是一個(gè)能干的人。

She is a capable teacher.

她是個(gè)能勝任工作的教師。

capable 語(yǔ)氣弱于able,指有能力、有潛力或有條件做某事,常與of連用。

She was perfectly capable of taking care of herself. 她完全有能力照顧自己。

(二)able指“能夠”,是一時(shí)之現(xiàn)象;capable常用以指“能力”,是經(jīng)常的現(xiàn)象。如:

I shall not be able to come to the office tomorrow.

明天我不能到辦公室來(lái)(指由于某種原因而暫時(shí)不能來(lái))。

enough /??n?f/ n.很多;充足;足夠 中文諧音:易娜福

她很希望能彈鋼琴。

She is incapable of manual labour.

她不能從事體力勞動(dòng)(指由于某種長(zhǎng)期或經(jīng)常的原因,例如患病而不能勞動(dòng))。

(三)指某人(物)能作某事時(shí),able之后接動(dòng)詞不定式,capable之后接介詞of。例如:

A good auditorium will assure that the sound is able to be heard from every seat.

好的禮堂能保證每個(gè)座位的聽(tīng)眾都能聽(tīng)到聲音。

(四)capable除表示“有能力的”意味外,還可用以表示“有可能的”涵義,able則沒(méi)有這個(gè)用法。如:

只要一個(gè)人就有可能摧毀全世界,踢足夠的英語(yǔ)。

3.adequate適當(dāng)?shù)?、足夠的、合適的adequate中文意思可以翻譯為適當(dāng)?shù)?、充足的、足夠的。adequate其實(shí)如果翻譯成「合適的」可能會(huì)更為貼切,例如數(shù)量合不合適、理由合不合適….等等。例:Ididn’thaveadequatetimetoprepare。

The situation is capable of improvement.

(五) able 一般用作正面意義,指好人好事;capable 則是中性詞,既可指好事,亦可指壞事,例如在下例中,capable of anything是表示“任何壞事都做得出來(lái)”之意:

That guy is capable of anything!

(六) able的反義詞是unable;capable的反義詞是incapable,足夠的怎么讀英語(yǔ)單詞。另一點(diǎn)值得注意的是,able的名詞是 ability,謝謝理解英語(yǔ)翻譯,義:“能力”(the power to do);capable的名詞是capability 或 capacity,前者義:“具有從事某事的能力”;后者義:“容量”或“受容力”。需要在此指出的是,ability是可以通過(guò)練習(xí)或鍛煉獲得的,通常具有指具體的某種能力;而capability則是固有的能力,它與練習(xí)或鍛煉無(wú)關(guān),還指軍事能力。通過(guò)例句的對(duì)比,達(dá)到融會(huì)貫通:
