Your ability to do something is the fact that you can do it.

e.g. The public never had faith in his ability to handle the job...
公众从来不相信他有能力胜任这一职位。
e.g. He has the ability to bring out the best in others.

2. 才能;技能;本领
Your ability is the quality or skill that you have which makes it possible for you to do something.

e.g. Her drama teacher spotted her ability...
她的戏剧老师发现了她的才能。
e.g. I have confidence in the ability of the players...
我对于球员们的能力充满信心。

3. 尽…所能地;竭尽全力地
If you do something to the best of your abilities or to the best of your ability, you do it as well as you can.

e.g. I take care of them to the best of my abilities...
我尽我所能地照顾他们。
e.g. They tackled them to the best of their ability.

Do not confuse ability with capability and capacity. You often use ability to say that someone can do something well. He had remarkable ability as a musician. ...the ability to bear hardship. A person's capability is the amount of work they can do and how well they can do it. ...a job that was beyond the capability of one man. ...the director's ideas of the capability of the actor. If someone has a particular capacity, a capacity for something, or a capacity to do something, they have the qualities required to do it. Capacity is a more formal word than ability. ...their capacity for hard work. ...his capacity to see the other person's point of view.
不要混淆 ability, capability 和 capacity。ability 常用于表示某人将某件事做好的能力:He had remarkable ability as a musician(他拥有杰出的音乐才华),the ability to bear hardship(承受苦难的能力)。capability 指某人所能完成的工作量以及所能达到的工作质量:a job that was beyond the capability of one man(个人力所不及的工作),the director's ideas of the capability of the actor(导演对于这个演员演技的看法)。capacity指做成某件事所需的素质, 用法比 ability 更加正式,例如 their capacity for hard work(他们能吃苦耐劳),his capacity to see the other person's point of view(他领会他人观点的能力)。

1. 才能:为此,罗杰斯教授对技能(Skill)、才能(Ability)和能力(Capability)三个概念做了区分. 他认为,技能是具体的、操作性较强的技术、技巧;而才能则是相对抽象的,伴随人的成长发展的素质,如逻辑思维能力等;能力则要求一个个体,

n.(名词)
  • ability的基本意思是泛指做各种事情的“能力”。可以指体力方面的,也可以指智力方面的,有时还指法律上的能力;可以是生来就有的生理功能,也可以是后天通过实践学得的。作此解时仅指能力而不涉及能力的高低,只用单数形式。ability指“智力,技能”时用作可数名词,且常用于复数形式。ability也可指“聪明,智慧”,这时用作不可数名词。单独用ability或abilities时除带后置修饰语或有上下文提示者外,一般都指智力。
  • 表示“在某方面有能力”时ability可接介词in, at, for等;表示“做某事的能力”时可接动词不定式,也可接“in+动名词”,但不接“of+动名词”。表示“有能力的”,可说ability of。
  • ability to do it前通常有限定词,即可以说an ability to do it,也可以说the ability to do it,还可以说sb's ability to do it。注意这种结构中的动词不定式不可用于被动语态。
  • abilities有时可和many连用。
n.(名词)
ability, capability,capacity,talent,genius,ingenuity
  • 这组词都可表示“个人的能力”。其区别是:
  • 1.ability指人表现出来的实际能力,即做事或行动的能力;
  • capacity用于物时指容纳能力,用于人时指潜在的能力,尤指接受能力、领悟性、敏感度等,接of短语时还含有除必需的技能外还须具有做某事的意志或力量的意味;
  • capability指从事某项工作或达到某一目的所必需的才能;
  • talent表示做某事的特殊才能;
  • ingenuity表示设计发明的能力;
  • genius表示天赋的高度才智,在本组词中语义最强。
  • 2.ability指先天具备的或后天习得的能力;
  • capability指天生的或潜在的能力;
  • talent和genius都指天资,但talent含有这种天资可在训练或使用中不断成熟或完善的意思,而genius表示的高度才智则是不需努力而与生俱来的。
  • 3.ability和talent主要用于人;capability几乎专用于人; capacity可以用于人,也可以用于物。
  • 4.ability后常接介词at, in, for或动词不定式; capability后常接介词of, for; talent后常接介词for。
  • 例如:
  • He has ability to do the work, but he's lazy and won't do it. 他有能力做这工作,但他太懒而不愿做。
  • This room has a seating capacity of 60 people. 这间屋子可以坐下60人。
