Suggestion与advice的辨析
Advice与 suggestion作为名词都有建议的含义，然而它们的用法因为含义接近，还是容易被混淆。我们需要通过上下文来判断到底是give advice还是make a suggestion. 如果深思熟虑的东西一般是advice, 而简单的基于过去的经验给出的就是suggestion.
Advice的含义
单词advice含有给与指导的意思，是有经验的一方给另一方的建言,如老师、长者或医生给的谏言，一般advice 都会被接受，见下列例句：
He gave a piece of advice to his brother.（他给弟弟一个忠告）
The advice that was given by him was followed with diligence.
他给的建议被认真地照办了。
He received a piece of advice from his teacher.
他从老师那里得到一个建议。
有趣的是advice的动词为Advise, 发音几乎完全相同，只是结尾辅音有些不同，前者是s,后者为z.
He advised me to work hard.他建议我努力工作。
He advised that I should work hard.他建议我该努力工作。
My doctor advised exercise after my heart attack.医生建议我在得了心脏病后要锻炼。
She is advising that we finish our project today.他提议我们今天完成我们的项目。
注意最后一句的宾语从句是虚拟语气，这是因为advise或suggest，recommend这类动词的宾语从句是虚拟语气。
Suggestion的含义单词suggestion的含义是给出一个主意，如下列示例：
He suggested that it could be done in this way.他出主意这么做。
She gave a suggestion for the easy functioning of the club.
她给出一个让俱乐部轻松营运的建议。
I need your suggestion in this case.
我需要在这方面得到你的建议。
很有意思的是suggestion的动词是suggest。既然suggestion只是一个 idea, 没有人会要求你一定遵循。.
He suggested that it could be done in this way.他出主意这么做。
He suggested that I should go and apply for this job.
The sales rep suggested that he put this offer on hold.
She suggested going for lunch.她建议吃午饭。
前三个句子suggest当动词宾语从句用的是虚拟语气，第四个句子suggest当动词要跟动名词。
Advice 与Suggestion的区别• 单词advice有给与咨询 counsel 和指南guide的含义，而suggestion 被用于出主意。advice 属于不可数名词，suggestion 是可数的。
• 人们给出advice是基于你的阅历和场景，而别人give a suggestion 是让你知道他想什么，这可以是基于经验，也可能不是。
• 一般来说suggestion不一定被执行，因为它只是一个idea . 而advice 作为一个忠告，往往有价值，希望被遵循，当然你可以不按照这个建议去做。
