Note that able and capable are both used to say that someone can do something. When you say that someone is able to do something, you mean that they can do it either because of their knowledge or skill, or because it is possible. He wondered if he would be able to climb over the rail... They were able to use their profits for new investments. Note that if you use a past tense, you are saying that someone has actually done something. We were able to reduce costs. When you say that someone is capable of doing something, you mean either that they have the knowledge and skill to do it, or that they are likely to do it. The workers are perfectly capable of running the organization themselves... She was quite capable of falling asleep. You can say that someone is capable of a particular feeling or action. He's capable of loyalty... Bowman could not believe him capable of murder. You can also use 'capable of' when talking about what something such as a car or machine can do. The car was capable of 110 miles per hour. If you describe someone as able or capable, you mean that they do things well. He's certainly a capable gardener.
注意,able和capable都用来表示某人能做某事。able 既可表示因拥有某种知识或技能而能做某事,也可表示客观可能:He wondered if he would be able to climb over the rail (他不知自己能否攀过栏杆),They were able to use their profits for new investments (他们得以将利润用于再投资)。要注意的是,如果用过去时,则表示实际做了该事:We were able to reduce costs (我们做到了降低成本)。capable既可表示具有做某事的技能或知识,也可表示做某事有较大的可能性:The workers are perfectly capable of running the organization themselves (工人完全能够自己管理这个机构),She was quite capable of falling asleep (她很容易睡着)。capable 还可表示具有某种情感或能够做出某一行为:He's capable of loyalty (他能做到忠心耿耿),Bowman could not believe him capable of murder (鲍曼无法相信他会杀人)。capable亦用于指汽车、机器等的性能:The car was capable of 110 miles per hour (这辆车时速可达110英里)。able或capable形容人时表示“有能力的”、“能力强的”:He's certainly a capable gardener (他绝对是一名能干的园丁)。

adj.(形容词)
  • able是具有评价意义的形容词,用于表示人的某种特点。able有两层含义:一是“能够”(尤用于不使用can或could的时态中); 二是“能干”。前者指因具有体力、智力、技能、时间、财力或机遇等而具有某种能力,通常也指应付一件事情的能力,有时还可表示“称职的”。后者指具有某种才干,即在智力、技巧、知识或能力等方面超过平均水平,胜人一筹,不仅指聪明,也含有经受过实际锻炼之意。
  • able作“能够…的”解时,一般用作表语,其后多接动词不定式(不接“of+动名词”),也可接介词短语。作“有能力的,能干的”解时,可用作定语、表语或补语。able接动词不定式时,其主语、able及动词不定式均存在逻辑上的主谓关系。
  • able用作表语时主语通常是人,也可为动物,偶尔也可为事物(多见于科技文体)。able用作定语时主要修饰人,也可修饰人所做的事,指事情做得好或做得成功。这样用时也暗示做成该事的人有才能。
  • 除be外, able还可用在其他系动词如seem, feel等之后。
  • able作“聪明的,能干的”解时可受副词very, quite, more, better, poorly等修饰。
  • able作“能够…的”解时比较级和最高级可用abler/ablest,也可用more able/most able。作“聪明的,能干的”解时比较级和最高级用abler/ablest。
adj.(形容词)
able, capable
  • 这两个词都可表示“能干的”“有能力的”“有才能的”。其区别是:
  • 1.able常指做某事所需要的力量、技巧、知识、才干等,一般与效率无关,含有“精明能干,超过一般水平”的意思; capable指满足一般要求的能力,可以是表现出来的,也可以是潜在的。故可以说able表示的能力要比capable高。试比较下面两句:
  • He is a capable lawyer.
  • 他是位能干的律师。
  • He is an able lawyer.
  • 他是位颇有才干的律师。
  • 2.able一般用于褒义或正面意义;而capable既可用于褒义或正面意义,也可用于贬义或负面意义。试比较下面两句:
  • He's an able man who you can fall back on.
  • 他是个能干的人,你可以依靠他。
  • The scandal is capable of the basest tricks.
  • 这个坏蛋什么卑鄙的勾当都干得出来。
  • 3.able一般用于有生命的人或动物,即使是用于指一件做得很成功的事,其含义也重在表示做成该事的人有才能; 而capable则可用于无生命的事物。试比较下面两句:
  • The doctor performs a very able operation.
  • 那大夫做了一个很成功的手术。
  • Glass, which breaks at a blow, is, nevertheless, cap- able of withstanding great pressure.
  • 玻璃尽管一击就碎,却能承受很大的压力。
  • 4.用作表语时, able后接动词不定式; capable后接“of+名词或动名词”。试比较下面两句:
  • He is able to look after〔capable of looking after〕 him- self now.
  • 现在他自己能照顾自己了。
  • He is capable of hard work.
  • 他能胜任艰苦的工作。
  • 5.able一般指暂时现象,而capable则可指经常性现象。试比较下面两句:
  • She is not able to dance tonight.她今晚不能跳舞。
  • The lame girl is not capable of learning to dance.
  • 这个跛脚的姑娘学不了舞蹈。
  • 6.able仅指主动地做某事的能力,而capable有时可指被动的承受能力或适应能力。试比较下面两句:
  • He is able to overcome all kinds of difficulties.
  • 他能克服各种困难。
  • This car is capable of carrying five persons.
  • 这辆轿车可载客5人。
  • adj.(形容词)

      After a two-month tramp they reached their destination.

      After a two-month tramp they succeeded in reaching their destination.
