需要注意的是，capability of 后接含有主动意义的动作；capability for 后接含有被动意义的动作。此外，capability 常指天生或潜在的能力，而ability 常指学到的能力。例如：He acquired in eight hours the ability to drive a car.他在八小时内就学会了开汽车。185.capacity 主要指能够容纳或吸收的“能力”，可用于人或物。例如：He has a capacity for mathematics.他有学数学的能力。（着重脑中的容纳力）

207.a suggestion about/concerning„一项有关„的建议 208.at sb’s suggestion 按照某人的建议
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

例如：For the use of beginners, the book is adequate.226.enough 指“能够满足一种欲望或需要”，比较偏重数量，并可放在所形容的名词后面。例如：Are there enough apples for everyone? 227.sufficient 具有与enough相同的意思，只是更为正式，并较强调程度。
228.fall/sink into a decline 开始衰落, 衰弱下去； 体力衰退(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
231.He acquired a knowledge of computer by careful study.232.格林先生靠做石油生意发了一笔大财。Mr.Green acquired a fortune in the oil business.233.astonish, amaze, & surprise 这三个词在表示“使„惊异”时，意义相近，一般以事物或人作主语；以人作主语时，一般用被动语态。它们的主要区别在于：
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）
236.surprise 着重因意外之事或特殊的事而产生的突然反应。例如：Her frank answer surprised him.她坦率的回答使他感到惊讶。237.make a living by: earn money by(doing sth.)238.by a miracle 依靠奇迹；奇迹般地 239.to a miracle 奇迹般地；（好得）不可思议地 240.accomplish/perform/work a miracle创造奇迹
