思故

作系动词都省略，除非有时态和数的变化。

这道题里的is我认为是情态动词的组成部分,也是固定用法，所以不省略。

be likely to do 和 be able/unable to do

。。。

胡搅蛮缠

can 跟 be able to do

我觉得有时候 有区别

can是主观能力

able是客观能力

I cannot open the door...I don't want to open the door

I am unable to open the door...I can open the door...but I am unable to do it because I don't have the key...

思故

是绝对的不同。

can表客观， be able to表主观，不能互换

SC里不要轻易改动情态动词
