例如：He has found a job more suited to his abilities.183.capability 與ability互通，也指智力（或體力）上的“能力”，可指人或物，后面接of + doing或for(doing)sth.。例如：The essay is a proof of the writer’s capability of using the right word in the right place.這篇文章證明作者能在適當的地方用適當的字。

需要注意的是，capability of 后接含有主動意義的動作；capability for 后接含有被動意義的動作。此外，capability 常指天生或潛在的能力，而ability 常指學到的能力。例如：He acquired in eight hours the ability to drive a car.他在八小時內就學會了開汽車。185.capacity 主要指能夠容納或吸收的“能力”，可用于人或物。例如：He has a capacity for mathematics.他有學數學的能力。（著重腦中的容納力）

The auditorium has a seating capacity of two thousand.禮堂能容納二千人。

207.a suggestion about/concerning?一項有關?的建議 208.at sb’s suggestion 按照某人的建議

209.suggestion, advice & opinion這三個詞都可譯作“意見”。suggestion 意為“建議”或“意見”，特指為了改進或解決問題而提出的辦法，常帶有“不一定正確，提出供對方參考”的意味。例如： This is merely a suggestion.211.advice 著重提意見的人比對方（或自認為）有更多的經驗知識，因此可用于醫(yī)生給病人的“勸告”，老工人講給新手的“經驗之談”等。該詞有時也用得比較廣泛，凡是與己無關、純粹為了幫助旁人而提出的“意見”都可譯作advice。例如：

You should follow the doctor’s advice and give up smoking.212.opinion 指對事物的一般“意見，看法”。例如：He showed me a poem he had written and asked my opinion about it.213.Champagne is a luxury they can no longer afford.214.我們花不起買奢侈品的錢。We can’t afford to spend money on luxuries.215.enjoy(a)luxury 享受

例如：For the use of beginners, the book is adequate.226.enough 指“能夠滿足一種欲望或需要”，比較偏重數量，并可放在所形容的名詞后面。例如：Are there enough apples for everyone? 227.sufficient 具有與enough相同的意思，只是更為正式，并較強調程度。

228.fall/sink into a decline 開始衰落, 衰弱下去； 體力衰退(尤指因患肺病而衰弱)229.hasten the decline of 加速?的衰退 230.on the decline在下降； 在衰退中

234.astonish 特指不可能解釋的事發(fā)生后使人產生較強的驚異感情。astonish 表示驚異的時間較 surprise 長久。例如：They were astonished at/by the news of his escape.235.amaze 指帶有迷惑或贊美的驚奇，是意義很強的詞。例如：I was amazed at/by her calmness.我對她的冷靜感到驚訝。（含有“欽佩”之意）
