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都用來表示某人能做某事。able 既可表示因擁有某種知識或技能而能做某事，也可表示客觀可能：He wondered if he would be able to climb over the rail (他不知自己能否攀過欄桿)，They were able to use their profits for new investments (他們得以將利潤用于再投資)。要注意的是，如果用過去時，則表示實際做了該事：We were able to reduce costs (我們做到了降低成本)。capable既可表示具有做某事的技能或知識，也可表示做某事有較大的可能性:The workers are perfectly capable of running the organization themselves (工人完全能夠自己管理這個機構)，She was quite capable of falling asleep (她很容易睡著)。capable 還可表示具有某種情感或能夠做出某一行為：He's capable of loyalty (他能做到忠心耿耿)，Bowman could not believe him capable of murder (鮑曼無法相信他會殺人)。capable亦用于指汽車、機器等的性能：The car was capable of 110 miles per hour (這輛車時速可達110英里)。able或capable形容人時表示“有能力的”、“能力強的”：He's certainly a capable gardener (他絕對是一名能干的園丁)。

4. able：agricultural biological literature exploitation; 農業生物學文獻利用

adj.(形容詞)

able是具有評價意義的形容詞,用于表示人的某種特點。able有兩層含義:一是“能夠”(尤用于不使用can或could的時態中); 二是“能干”。前者指因具有體力、智力、技能、時間、財力或機遇等而具有某種能力,通常也指應付一件事情的能力，有時還可表示“稱職的”。后者指具有某種才干,即在智力、技巧、知識或能力等方面超過平均水平,勝人一籌,不僅指聰明,也含有經受過實際鍛煉之意。

able作“能夠…的”解時,一般用作表語,其后多接動詞不定式(不接“of+動名詞”),也可接介詞短語。作“有能力的,能干的”解時,可用作定語、表語或補語。able接動詞不定式時，其主語、able及動詞不定式均存在邏輯上的主謂關系。

able用作表語時主語通常是人,也可為動物,偶爾也可為事物（多見于科技文體）。able用作定語時主要修飾人,也可修飾人所做的事,指事情做得好或做得成功。這樣用時也暗示做成該事的人有才能。

除be外, able還可用在其他系動詞如seem, feel等之后。

able作“聰明的,能干的”解時可受副詞very, quite, more, better, poorly等修飾。

able作“能夠…的”解時比較級和最高級可用abler/ablest,也可用more able/most able。作“聰明的,能干的”解時比較級和最高級用abler/ablest。

adj.(形容詞)

able, capable

這兩個詞都可表示“能干的”“有能力的”“有才能的”。其區別是：

1.able常指做某事所需要的力量、技巧、知識、才干等,一般與效率無關,含有“精明能干,超過一般水平”的意思; capable指滿足一般要求的能力,可以是表現出來的,也可以是潛在的。故可以說able表示的能力要比capable高。試比較下面兩句:

He is a capable lawyer.

他是位能干的律師。

He is an able lawyer.

他是位頗有才干的律師。

2.able一般用于褒義或正面意義；而capable既可用于褒義或正面意義,也可用于貶義或負面意義。試比較下面兩句:

He's an able man who you can fall back on.

他是個能干的人,你可以依靠他。

The scandal is capable of the basest tricks.

這個壞蛋什么卑鄙的勾當都干得出來。

3.able一般用于有生命的人或動物,即使是用于指一件做得很成功的事,其含義也重在表示做成該事的人有才能; 而capable則可用于無生命的事物。試比較下面兩句:

The doctor performs a very able operation.

那大夫做了一個很成功的手術。

Glass, which breaks at a blow, is, nevertheless, cap- able of withstanding great pressure.

玻璃盡管一擊就碎,卻能承受很大的壓力。

4.用作表語時, able后接動詞不定式; capable后接“of+名詞或動名詞”。試比較下面兩句:

He is able to look after〔capable of looking after〕 him- self now.

現在他自己能照顧自己了。

He is capable of hard work.

他能勝任艱苦的工作。

5.able一般指暫時現象,而capable則可指經常性現象。試比較下面兩句:

She is not able to dance tonight.她今晚不能跳舞。

The lame girl is not capable of learning to dance.

這個跛腳的姑娘學不了舞蹈。

6.able僅指主動地做某事的能力,而capable有時可指被動的承受能力或適應能力。試比較下面兩句:

He is able to overcome all kinds of difficulties.

他能克服各種困難。

This car is capable of carrying five persons.

這輛轎車可載客5人。

非生物名詞作主語時用can或be possible to；“人”作主語時才用be able to。

☆ 14世紀中期進入英語，直接源自古法語的（h)able；最初源自拉丁語的habilis，意為便利的，適合保持的。
