My dear friend:
I know of _disibledevent= advise)，是個正式用法：
He counseled them not to carry out that futile plan. 他忠告他們切勿實行那個徒勞的計劃。
注 美國一般稱律師為 counsel。
注意 切勿與同音詞 council（議會）和 councillor（議員）混淆。此外consul則指“領事”。
4 This you call a paradox.
paradox (n.) 指有矛盾的情況或似是而非、有諷刺性的話：
Physical exercise can help you slim down, but the paradox of it is that while it consumes energy, it also requires the intake of more energy. 運動可以減肥，但矛盾的是運動消耗能量之時又需要攝取更多能量。
形容詞為 paradoxical：
It is paradoxical that he should turn to his rival for help in such time of trouble. 他在此困難時刻要轉向對手求助，可謂矛盾。
