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.

　　Headvised/suggestedwaitingabitlonger.

　　Headvised/suggested(our)waitingabitlonger.

　　Headvised/suggestedthatwe(should)waitabitlonger.

　　上面的第三句可转化为：

　　Itwassuggestedthatwe(should)waitabitlonger.

　　Whathesuggestedwasthatwe(should)waitabitlonger.

　　Hissuggestionwasthatwe(should)waitabitlonger.

　　(2)不同点

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

　　[正]Headvisedustocomeanotherday.

　　[误]Hesuggestedustocomeanotherday.

　　[误]Hesuggestedusthatwecomeanotherday.

　　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：

　　Herexpressionsuggestedpleasure.她面露喜色.

　　Hissilencecouldonlysuggestdisapproval.他的沉默只能暗示反对.
