advice 和 suggestion 的用法區(qū)別

3、從語法方麪看，它們也有區(qū)別：
比如從可數(shù)性上看：adivce 表示“建議”時是一個典型的不可數(shù)名詞，但 suggestion 表示提出建議的行爲時是不可數(shù)的，但它表示所提議或建議的內(nèi)容時則是可數(shù)的。
又如從搭配上看：表示“提建議”，advice 通常與動詞 give (sb) , offer (sb) , pass on, provide (sb with) 等搭配，表示“給（某人）提出忠告”“（給某人）提出建議”等；而 suggestion 則通常與動詞 come up with, give sb, make, offer, put forward 等搭配。注意它們有些搭配是相同的，但有些搭配是不一樣的，比如我們可以說 make a suggestion，但通常就不說 make an advice。
