Suggest is often used in less formal situations than propose or put sth forward, especially when making personal suggestions or arrangements. 与propose和put sth forward相比，suggest常用于不太正式的场合，尤指提出个人的建议和安排◆I suggest that we go out to eat.我提议咱们出去吃。You can say 'I propose that we go out to eat.' but this sounds very formal. Put sth forward is not used with I in this way. 可以说I propose that we go out to eat，但这听起来非常正式。表达此义时put sth forward的主语不能是I◆I put forward that we go out to eat. Suggest is sometimes less certain than propose or put sth forward: you might suggest sth in order to be helpful, or in a gentle way because you are not sure how welcome your suggestion will be; you are more likely to propose or put sth forward in a confident way and when you definitely want your idea to be accepted. When sth is to be considered in a formal process it is more usual to use propose or put sth forward. * suggest有时显得不如propose或put sth forward有把握，suggest表示提出建议是为了有所帮助，或不清楚他人是否乐于听取而出言谨慎。propose或put sth forward较常指自信地提出建议，绝对希望被采纳。通过正式程序提出建议或动议时较常用propose或put sth forward◆They are ready to discuss plans proposed / put forward by the UN.他们准备就联合国提出的方案进行讨论。◆They are ready to discuss plans suggested by the UN.
