suit， suitable 和fit的用法区别

（1） suitable 的动词形式是suit， 与动词fit都有“合适”之意，但也有区别。以衣服为例，fit是指大小尺寸合适，而suit则是表示衣服穿着很好看，包括款式和花式都合适。如：

1） Do you think this style suits me？ 你觉得这种款式适合我穿吗？

（2） 形容词suitable后可接for sth.和to sb.。如：

1） I dont think I should be suitable for the post. 我认为自己不适合这个职位。

2） The work was not suitable to me. 那工作不适合我。

（3） 形容词fit后只能接介词for， 且句子主语多用人表示。

1） The new manager isnt fit for his position. 新经理不胜任他的职务。

2） It would be months before he was fit for work. 要过几个月他才能适合工作。

3） My sister is just fit for a job as teacher. 我妹妹正适合教师这一工作。

4） The prime minister was a wise， honest man who was fitter for his office than anyone else. 首相是个聪明、诚实的人，比任何人都称职。

right 做合适讲时相当于one of the most suitable 最合适的。

I think shes definitely the right person for the job. 我认为她是此工作的最合适人选。

2. option—choice n. 选择；选择自由；供选择的事物

[课文原句再现] Maybe a career as a local grocer would be a better option.
