这些名词在这里都指由于或是部分由于有意识的努力而获得的能力。所有这些词都经常用作复数。Attainment是最高尚的词。它指充分开发的才能在艺术，科学和一些类似的领域带来的辉煌成就：Bertrand russel was not only a distinguished philosopher,but also a man of high literary attainments. Accomplishment 在这里指任何由实践或经验获得的能力或手段；特殊意义上，它指有着讨好和热情款待意味的社交风度。【In the nineteenth century,a young woman of many accomplishments might sing,play the piano and paint; skill in dancing and the ability to make small talk are accomplishments considered desirable by most American adolescents.】
Acquirement是一种通过学习或实践获得的技能，而非通过天赋。accomplishment可以是华丽的和令人印象深刻的，而acquirement则是实际的和有用的：the ability to read sanskrit is an acquirement rarely found among western scholars. Acquisition通常指新获得的物质占有，尤其是一个有广受欢迎的内在价值的物品：a library takes pride in its rare-book acquisitions. Acquisition也可以适用于获得一种品质，一门技能或有着自身价值的知识本身：self-discipline is an invaluable acquisition.
