记得新东方得老师说只有人和动物才能用“'s”得结构得呀？

specially 和especially很大区别吗？

先谢谢了

呵呵，楼主第2题问的问题和我要问的一样。后来我查了字典，感觉especially和specially 真的没什么区别，但是capability和ability还是有差别的。

从朗文的解释上看，capability是指那种需要人有目的地做出努力后才能达到的能力，不是自然或天生就拥有的。例如：the country's manufacturing capability；America's nuclear capability；I can speak French, but simultaneous translation is beyond my capabilities.

而ability是指天生的能力，或者不需要有目的的努力就可以拥有的能力。例如：the ability to walk；It takes hard work and natural ability to make it as a professional athlete.；The health center serves all patients, regardless of their ability to pay.

所以，我觉得在这题里是指呼吸系统自身天然就具有的能力，应该用ability.
