词汇讲解
ability capability 1 competence 2 词汇辨析
ability capability有时可以互换,但有细微区别:
①ability是做事情实际的能力
比如 the ability to walk
注意:XX的能力,用to来连接,不能用of。the ability to do,而不是the ability of doing.
√ I admire his ability to listen.
✗ I admire his ability of listening.
②capability指做某事潜在的能力及ability的极限。
例如,你说你有写好文章的ability,我可能会问你有没有在明天之前写出10页文章的capability。此外,capabilities往往是一种非此即彼的命题,而ability 往往是程度上的问题。例如,我可能会说,我虽然有写作的ability,但是我没有写小说的 capability。不过,跟这些词的其它区别一样,这些不同比较模糊,除了一般固定的用法之外,这些词都是可以互换使用的。
比如Does the company have the capability to change to meet market needs?
公司有能力改变策略,以满足市场需求吗?
③ability和capability都偏重于做事情的技能,而competence合适的中文意思为“胜任潜质”,也称为胜任素质,是指那些能带来人的高效或杰出工作绩效的潜在特征。侧重能够胜任某事的能力。
比如:He questioned the competence of the government.
他质疑政府的能力。
电影《穿普拉达的女王》中,Miranda表示不想听助手工作没有完成的借口,她说:Details of your incompetence 3 do not interest me. 你无法完成工作的那些细节,我不感兴趣。
