释义

Writing a letter with a capital (uppercase) letter instead of a lowercase one. It can also mean using a situation or resource for your benefit.

用法与细微差别

'Capitalizing' is used for both writing (as in 'capitalizing letters') and taking advantage of situations ('capitalizing on an opportunity'). In writing, it’s about grammar rules; in business or conversation, it’s more figurative. Don’t confuse it with 'capital' (money or city).
