adj.(形容词)

capable, able

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。

able，capable，competent

这些形容词均含有“有能力的，能干的”之意

able最常用词，多用于褒义，着重指多方面的，经常性的，或潜在性的能力。有时也指高超、非凡的能力。

capable语气弱于able，指有能力、有潜力或有条件做某事，常与of连用。

competent强调具有能胜任某项工作的足够技能或其它所需的条件。
