be able to什么意思、怎么读?单词用法、记忆法、发音音标、反义词辨析、词语翻译、例句造句

be able to 音标:[bi: eibl tu:]

能, 会
  • can和be able to的用法区别

    1)can could 表示能力;可能 (过去时用could),
    只用于现在式和过去式(could)。be able to可以用于各种时态。
    They will be able to tell you the news soon. 他很快就能告诉你消息了。
    2)只用be able to
    a. 位于助动词后。
    b. 情态动词后。
    c. 表示过去某时刻动作时。
    d. 用于句首表示条件。
    e. 表示成功地做了某事时,只能用was/were able to, 不能用could。
    He was able to flee Europe before the war broke out。
    = He managed to flee Europe before the war broke out。
    注意:could不表示时态
    1)提出委婉的请求,(注意在回答中不可用could)。
    --- Could I have the television on?
    --- Yes, you can. / No, you can't。
can/be able to

I can sing in English.我能用英语唱歌。
I won't be able to see him tobay.今天我见不着他。
<辨析>can 和 be able to 都可表示“能”,当表示现在或过去“能力所及”时,两者可通用。如:
He can( is able to) speak German.他会主德语。
I could( was able to) run very fast when I was a boy.我小时候跑得非常快。
be able to 的过去时还可以表示一种“经过努力做到了”的意思,can 的过去时则没有这种用法。如:
He started last,but he was able to catch the eight o'clock train.他出发晚了,但他努了一把力,还是赶上了8:00的火车。
can 通常只用于上述两种时态,而 be able to 还可用于将来时和完成时态。如:
He has not been able to come.他未能来。
