用法讲解

n. (名词)
  1. 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。
  2. 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。
  3. 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。
  4. abilities有时可和many连用。
  1. 指体力或智力时，后通常接不定式；
  2. 单用时，通常指智力，如great ability；
  3. ability to do it前经常用the/an。

  • 4.ability后常接介词at, in, for或动词不定式; capability后常接介词of, for; talent后常接介词for。
