Xiao Wangsuggested a way to solve the problem. 小王提出了一个解决这个问题的办法.
三、 有"暗示、表明"的意思.其主语往往是事物,而不是人.

advise与suggest都可作“建议”讲,二者用法有同有异。
1)相同点
都可表示建议做某事, advise与suggest后面都可接名词/动名词/ that从句(should加动词原形,should可以省略)。例如:
他建议(我们)再等一会儿。
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.
上面的第三句可转化为:
It was suggestedthat we (should) wait a bit longer.
What he suggestedwas that we (should) wait a bit longer.
His suggestion wasthat we (should) wait a bit longer.
(2)不同点
①advise后可以直接跟人称代词作宾语,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:他建议我们改天再来。
[正]Headvised us to come another day.
[误]Hesuggested us to come another day.
[误]Hesuggested us that we come another day.
②suggest还有“暗示、表明、指出(一个事实)”的意思。此时从句中用陈述语气,不用虚拟语气。如:
Her expressionsuggested pleasure. 她面露喜色。
His silence couldonly suggest disapproval. 他的沉默只能暗示反对。
