can和be able to写的停不下来怎么办？

写作团有同学向攀哥问到一个很有代表性问题，如图:

其实这个句子最大的问题还不是can和be able to, 它有多处明显的错误。

1. high income employmentincome是指人或公司等的收入，用来修饰收入端的对象，比如high-income individuals/ companies: 较高收入个人/公司。这里用well-paid employment才合适。这属于搭配的问题。

2.employees:是已经被雇佣的人，这里应该是找工作的人job seekers或job hunters。

3.can not: 一般写成cannot，不分开。

4.workfore market：这两个词不会连用。workforce指的是(国家或行业的)劳动力，劳动人口。年轻的求职者进入的是job market，相反，雇佣单位才是寻找workforce。

5.a large amountof people: amount不能跟people连用，应该是a large number of people。

接下来聊聊can和be able to应该怎么替换。

1.用同义词，最简单

be capable ofdoing; have the ability to do.例:Staff shouldbe educated so that they can giveinformed advice.替: Staff shouldbe educated so that theyare capable ofgiving informed advice.staff是集合名词(类似于people),不加 s.

2. 意译,根据牛津词典的解释

图一: can

例:Staff shouldbe educated so that they can giveinformed advice.替: Staff shouldbe educated so thatit is possible for them togiveinformed advice.图二: able

例:Staff shouldbe educated so that they can giveinformed advice.替: Staff shouldbe educated so that theyhave thenecessary knowledgetogiveinformed advice.例:Alarge number of people are notable to find adecent job.替: A large number of peopledo nothave the opportunity tofind a decent job.

3. 近义词替换

manage to do; succeed in doing; be successful in doing.例：A large number of people are not able to find a decent job.are notable to就可以用succeed的反义词fail替换。换: Alarge number of peoplefail tofind a decent job.

4. 去人称化

例: Alarge number of people are notable to find adecent job.

替:Findingadecent job is diffcult for a large number ofpeople.

例: People can perform everydaytasks, such asshopping,banking andbusiness transactions on the Internet.

替:Performing everyday tasks,such as shopping, banking and business transations, on the Internet is acommon activityfor people.
