advise与suggest 都可作“建议”讲,二者用法有同有异.

(1) 相同点 都可表示建议做某事,advise与suggest后面都可接名词/动名词/ that从句(should加动词原形,should可以省略).例如:

他建议(我们)再等一会儿.

He advised/ suggested waiting a bit longer.

He advised/ suggested (our) waiting a bit longer.

He advised/ suggested that we (should) wait a bit longer.

上面的第三句可转化为:

It was suggested that we (should) wait a bit longer.

What he suggested was that we (should) wait a bit longer.

His suggestion was that we (should) wait a bit longer.

(2)不同点

①advise后可以直接跟人称代词作宾语,如:advise sb.to do sth.; advise sb.against (doing) sth.; advise sb.on/ about sth.; 而suggest后一般用suggest to sb that …形式.如:他建议我们改天再来.

[正]He advised us to come another day.

[误]He suggested us to come another day.

[误]He suggested us that we come another day.

②suggest还有“暗示、表明、指出(一个事实)”的意思.此时从句中用陈述语气,不用虚拟语气.如:

Her expression suggested pleasure.她面露喜色.

His silence could only suggest disapproval.他的沉默只能暗示反对.
