談談can與be able to 用法上的區別
語中, can 與be able to在用法上既有相同的一方面, 又有不同的地方,這是應該引起注意的。當它們表示能力的時候,是同義的。如:
He can speak two foreign languages.
He is able to speak two foreign languages.
它們用法上的不同主要體現在以下幾方面:
1. can只有兩種時態, 即can 和could, 而be able to 有多種時態, 如was/were able to, will/shall be able to, have/has been able to等:

數字在生活中的廣泛運用,使其成為一門語言中最基本的應用能力之一,對於數字的考核也成為雅思聽力考試當中相當重要的一部分。本文中,朗閣雅思專家將主要和廣大考生探討一下雅思聽力考試中數字的常見考點及難點。
十幾和幾十的區別大概是學習英語(論壇)數字最基礎的一個門檻。單就發音而言,這兩類數字有三個不同點:第一是重音,拿『thirteen』和『thirty』來舉例,thirteen的重音在『teen』上,而thirty在『thir』上;第二:長短音,teen發長音的/i:/,而ty是短音的/I/;但是在實際的聽力測試中,以上兩個區別有時並不明顯,這時候第三個區別就很重要了,teen的尾音有鼻音/n/,而ty沒有,這個區別在大多數情況下,可以決定是那個詞,但是偶爾由於語速過快或者其他因素的影響下,也可能無法聽出,一般在這種情況下為ty的可能較大。
2.8的發音
eight是0~9 中唯一一個以元音發音開頭的數字,這樣由於連讀和爆破音,往往導致這個數字難以分辨。比如數字58,其中fifty結尾的元音/i/與eight的開頭雙元音/ei/相連,加上eight結尾的輔音/t/爆破弱化,便使得58和50這兩個數字發音相近,在有上下文並且語速較快的情況下很難區分。這時,我們尚可以通過關鍵的雙元音/ei/來區分,但是如果遇上數字和字母的組合,則幾乎無法區分,比如58和50A。在這樣的情況下,朗閣雅思專家建議考生根據語境的需要做出正確的選擇。關於數字和字母組合的情況,後文還會提到。
3.0的發音
『0』在口語中有多種念法,最好區分的當然是zero,但是除此之外,還可以念作:nought,null,nil,nothing以及oh。其中『oh』是較為常見的用法,一般在電話號碼和房間號中最為多見,比如Room 102,就可以念作『room one oh two』。而nought用於小數的情況較多,比如0.2可以讀作『nought point two』。nill則會用於賽事比分,比如足球賽3:0,可以讀作『three nill』。
