用法讲解
- capable的基本意思是“有能力的,有技能的”,指具有完成任务所需要的能力,如足智多谋、勤奋努力等,一般不表示具体的能力,常与介词of或in连用。
- capable与at或in连用时,逻辑主体只能是人。capable of的逻辑主体有时也可以是物。
- capable, able
-
- 这两个词都可表示“能干的”“有能力的”“有才能的”。其区别是:
- 1.able常指做某事所需要的力量、技巧、知识、才干等,一般与效率无关,含有“精明能干,超过一般水平”的意思; capable指满足一般要求的能力,可以是表现出来的,也可以是潜在的。故可以说able表示的能力要比capable高。试比较下面两句:
- He is a capable lawyer.
- 他是位能干的律师。
- He is an able lawyer.
- 他是位颇有才干的律师。
- 2.able一般用于褒义或正面意义;而capable既可用于褒义或正面意义,也可用于贬义或负面意义。试比较下面两句:
- He's an able man who you can fall back on.
- 他是个能干的人,你可以依靠他。
- The scandal is capable of the basest tricks.
- 这个坏蛋什么卑鄙的勾当都干得出来。
- 3.able一般用于有生命的人或动物,即使是用于指一件做得很成功的事,其含义也重在表示做成该事的人有才能; 而capable则可用于无生命的事物。试比较下面两句:
- The doctor performs a very able operation.
- 那大夫做了一个很成功的手术。
- Glass, which breaks at a blow, is, nevertheless, cap- able of withstanding great pressure.
- 玻璃尽管一击就碎,却能承受很大的压力。
- 4.用作表语时, able后接动词不定式; capable后接“of+名词或动名词”。试比较下面两句:
- He is able to look after〔capable of looking after〕 him- self now.
- 现在他自己能照顾自己了。
- He is capable of hard work.
- 他能胜任艰苦的工作。
- 5.able一般指暂时现象,而capable则可指经常性现象。试比较下面两句:
- She is not able to dance tonight.她今晚不能跳舞。
- The lame girl is not capable of learning to dance.
- 这个跛脚的姑娘学不了舞蹈。
- 6.able仅指主动地做某事的能力,而capable有时可指被动的承受能力或适应能力。试比较下面两句:
- He is able to overcome all kinds of difficulties.
- 他能克服各种困难。

- 这些形容词均含有“有能力的,能干的”之意
- able最常用词,多用于褒义,着重指多方面的,经常性的,或潜在性的能力。有时也指高超、非凡的能力。
- capable语气弱于able,指有能力、有潜力或有条件做某事,常与of连用。
