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）

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
