两种用法,意思差不多。但后者很少见,远不如前者普通。

1. ability to do sth:不定式作定语,表明不定式动作的“情态意义”。其特征是,可以使用其同源形容词,转换为:be + adj. to do 结构。

her ability to make people feel at ease =

She is able to make people feel at ease.


2. ability in (doing)sth:介词短语作定语,“在…方面的能力”。例如:

Good. Tell me something about your ability in written English.  

很好。请告诉我你在英文写作方面的能力。

Besides, doing translation exercise may also help you improve your ability in using the language, thus making preparation for improving your writing ability. 

另外,适当做一些翻译练习也可以帮助你提高运用语言的能力,从而为提高写作能力做好准备。
