簡介
In this lesson, we will learn the difference between the words ‘advice’ and ‘advise.’
今天我們將要學(xué)習(xí)”advice”和”advise”這兩個詞儀的區(qū)別。
Explanation
解釋
The word ‘advice’ is a noun, and the word ‘advise’ is a verb. Both refer to recommendations.
“advice”是名詞,”advise”是動詞。他們都有勸告的意思。
Jean: Hello, everyone. The topic of the day is ‘advice’. ‘Advice’ is a noun, it is a recommendation. If we ask someone for an opinion about what to do, it means we are asking for ‘advice’.
吉恩:大家好。今天的主題是‘advice’。 ‘advice’是名詞,意思是勸告。如果我們對要做什么詢問他人意見,就意味著我們在詢問‘advice’。
Martha: That’s right, Jean. And ‘advise’ is a verb. When a person asks someone to suggest or recommend a solution or an option about what to do in a specific situation, they want someone to advise them of what to do.
瑪莎:是這樣的。‘advise’是動詞。當一個人向他人尋求中高,或?qū)δ撤N情況的意見亦或是在某種特殊情況下對行動的選擇時,就是讓他人給予他建議。
Jean: Ok, Martha. If I have a headache, what do you advise?
吉恩:如果我頭疼,你建議我怎么做?
Martha: Well, Jean, I advise taking an aspirin. In other words, you should take an aspirin.
瑪莎:我建議你吃一片阿司匹林,或者說,你應(yīng)該吃一片阿司匹林。
Jean: That’s great advice. Remember that ‘advice’ is uncountable. We don’t use an article. It’s inappropriate to say ‘an advice’ or ‘two advices’. We can, however, say ‘a piece of advice’, or ‘two pieces of advice’.
吉恩:這是個好建議。記住‘advice’是不可數(shù)的。我們不用冠詞。說‘an advice’或‘two advices’是不對的。但是我們可以說‘a piece of advice’,或是‘two pieces of advice’.(一條建議或兩條建議)
Martha: Pay attention to the difference. We cannot give ‘advise’, but we can give ‘advice’. And we cannot ‘advice’, but we can ‘advise’.
瑪莎:注意區(qū)別,我們不可以給‘advise’,卻可以給‘advice’。我們不可以‘advice’,但是可以給‘advise’.
Jean: Oh, so we ‘give’ advice. And what verb do we use to say we accept the piece of advice?
吉恩:哦,所以我么“給”別人建議。那么當我們接受建議時要使用什么動詞。
Martha: Great question, Jean. The person can accept or follow someone’s advice.
瑪莎:好問題,吉恩。一個人可以接受(accept)或者是聽從(follow)某人的建議。
Jean: Ok. I usually follow my dad’s advice about my career. Martha, do you know a common way people ask for advice?
吉恩:可以,在事業(yè)上我經(jīng)常聽從我父親的建議?,斏?,你知道通常人們都是怎樣詢問他人意見的嗎?
Martha: Sure, Jean. When I need advice, I ask: ‘What should I do’?
瑪莎:當然知道。當我需要意見時,我會說:“我該怎么做?”
Jean: That’s what I say, too. We can also say: ‘What do you recommend’? But there are many different ways to ask for advice.
吉恩:我也這么說。我們也可以說:“你的意見是什么呢”?但是詢問意見有很多種方法。
Martha: That’s correct. Right now, I advise our listeners to watch a couple of dialogues involving some people who need advice.
馬修:是這樣的。就在剛剛,我建議我的聽眾看幾個關(guān)于需要建議的人們的對話。
Jean: I think I’ll follow your advice…and you should follow it, too.
吉恩:我覺得我會聽從你的建議,你也應(yīng)該這樣。
