Q8: Sulfur dioxide, a major contributor to acid rain, is an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system’s ability to deal with all other pollutants. A. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system’s ability to deal B. an especially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system’s capability of dealing C. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system in dealing D. a specially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system to deal E. a specially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system’s ability to deal

答案A 没问题 想问 the capability 后应该接doing 吗？ 比如the capability of doing sth

而如果再加上sb the capability of sb to do?还是the capability of sb of doing?

capability of doing sth,

ability to do sth

capability of doing sth,

ability to do sth

在意思上好像还有点细微差别的，楼主可以差一下，看看。

ability 表示有能力,capability，表示有空间，很容纳的下的意思，希望我没解释错，你最好查一下，OXFORD的词典，我实在是急不太清楚了，怕害人。

capability取能力意思的时候，是不是和ability通用呢

ability 表示有能力,capability，表示有空间，很容纳的下的意思，希望我没解释错，你最好查一下

但是字典里只有两种解释：

1.power(of doing things,to do things);fitness or capacity(for being improved,etc)

2.undeveliped faculties;qualities,etc,that can be developed

好像没有可容纳的下的意思阿

做了几个ability 和 capability的题。没有用capability 做正确答案的。

即使**'s ability 和 capability of **. 之间选择也是。
