Phân biệt Ability và Capacity


ABILITY and CAPACITY:

  • ability (noun): means the skill and human power to do something.

E.g: He is a negotiator of immense ability.

  • capacity (noun): means the ability to produce something, or to have a talent for doing something when referring to skill. One distinction is that ability is something acquired and capacity is something inborn.

E.g: His ability as a negotiator was helped by his capacity for remembering faces.

  • Capacity also means the maximum amount that can be produced by a machine.

E.g: This photocopier has the capacity to print fifty pages a minute.
