| 词组 | ability |
| 释义 | 1．ability 指体力或智力，后面通常接不定式，很少接 of 和动名词，如通常说 ability to do it, ability to lift a great stone 和 ability to write correct English，很少说 ability of doing it 等，但可以说 reading ability, writing ability, driving (驾驶) ability 等，也可以说 his ability in reading and writing, his ability in drawing 等。 2．单独用 ability，除了可以从上下文看出指体力者以外，都指智力，如下面的 ability 都指智力： man of ability（有才的人），great ability（大才）， in point of ability（就才能讲），He lacks ability. （他缺少才能。） 复数形式 abilities 只指智力，不指体力，如 his abilities, manifold abilities 等都指智力。 3．ability to do it, the ability to do it, an ability to do it 和his（或your 等）ability to do it 都可以说，第一种形式最不普通。 |
