209.suggestion, advice & opinion这三个词都可译作“意见”。suggestion 意为“建议”或“意见”，特指为了改进或解决问题而提出的办法，常带有“不一定正确，提出供对方参考”的意味。例如： This is merely a suggestion.211.advice 着重提意见的人比对方（或自认为）有更多的经验知识，因此可用于医生给病人的“劝告”，老工人讲给新手的“经验之谈”等。该词有时也用得比较广泛，凡是与己无关、纯粹为了帮助旁人而提出的“意见”都可译作advice。例如：
You should follow the doctor’s advice and give up smoking.212.opinion 指对事物的一般“意见，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.我们花不起买奢侈品的钱。We can’t afford to spend money on luxuries.215.enjoy(a)luxury 享受

234.astonish 特指不可能解释的事发生后使人产生较强的惊异感情。astonish 表示惊异的时间较 surprise 长久。例如：They were astonished at/by the news of his escape.235.amaze 指带有迷惑或赞美的惊奇，是意义很强的词。例如：I was amazed at/by her calmness.我对她的冷静感到惊讶。（含有“钦佩”之意）
