advice 和 suggestion 的用法區(qū)別
advice 和 suggestion 均可表示“建議”，其區(qū)別是：
1、advice 指的是一種具有較強實用性和可操作性“建議”（通常譯為“勸告”“忠告”），它是針對某人的某一具體情況（或特定情況）所給出的最佳行動方案?！杜＝蚋唠A英語詞典》（第6版）對它的解釋是：an opinion or a suggestion about what sb should do in a particular situation. 《邁克米倫高階英語詞典》對它的解釋是：an opinion that someone gives you about the best thing to do in a particular situation.

2、suggestion 僅是提出一個供人參考的想法或計算?！杜＝蚋唠A英語詞典》（第6版）對它的解釋是：an idea or a plan that you mention for sb else to think about. 《邁克米倫高階英語詞典》對它的解釋是：an idea or plan that you offer for someone to consider.

3、從語法方面看，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 表示提出建議的行為時是不可數(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。
