suggestion表示"意见,建议,提议",特指为了改进或解决某一问题而提出建议,办法等,但不一定正确,仅供参考.在这一含义上,它和opinion同义,但比opinion正式.语气比advice客气、委婉.多用作可数名词,常和介词about,as to,at,on,by,with等搭配.例如：
This trip was made at his teacher's suggestion. 这次旅行是由他的老师建议组织的.
By her mother's suggestion the contribution was raised. 根据她妈妈的建议发起了募捐.
I have put my suggestions in pencil that they may be rubbed out if you do not approve of them. 我的建议是用铅笔写的,这样,如果你不同意就可以把它们擦掉.

advice表示"忠告,意见,指点",是指具有丰富的知识,足够的经验,正确的判断力和明智的观点的人对另一个人的"劝告"或"见解",既可以是对于严肃的事物,也可以对琐碎事情提出意见.如果advice不被一个另有所指的形容词修饰,则经常意味着忠告者对被忠告者表现出一种直接的,或多或少个人的关系.因此,advice的事情经常具有私事性质.可见,在实际应用中,凡是与自己没有关系,完全是为了对方而提出advice,均可用之.不可数名词,常和介词against,at,by,for,of,on,to,about,with等搭配.例如：
