advise與suggest 都可作“建議”講,二者用法有同有異.
(1) 相同點(diǎn) 都可表示建議做某事,advise與suggest后面都可接名詞/動(dòng)名詞/ that從句（should加動(dòng)詞原形,should可以省略）.例如：
他建議（我們）再等一會(huì)兒.
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.
上面的第三句可轉(zhuǎn)化為：
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)不同點(diǎn)
①advise后可以直接跟人稱代詞作賓語(yǔ),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：他建議我們改天再來(lái).
[正]He advised us to come another day.
[誤]He suggested us to come another day.
[誤]He suggested us that we come another day.
②suggest還有“暗示、表明、指出（一個(gè)事實(shí)）”的意思.此時(shí)從句中用陳述語(yǔ)氣,不用虛擬語(yǔ)氣.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對(duì).
