这里的can应该如何理解含义呢?

"Your wife says that nothing you can do will ever induce her to divorce you. She's quite made up her mind. You can put any possibility of that definitely out of your head."

这里的can应该如何理解含义呢？我感觉这里类似于should含义。似乎must也可。但是理解不了这里为什么用can？

You can put any possibility of that definitely out of your head.

虽然这里可以用should或must 替换can，但其效果是说话人告诉听话人这么做是他的责任、义务。用can则表示客观条件决定了他这么做是可能的。让听话人自己去选择这么做，而不是要求他这么做。例如，一个人丢了钱包，很恼火。你劝他时，可以说，You can forget about it.

can 在本句表示“许可”，这是语境决定的，因为是 your wife 说的话。

句子含义是：

You can do nothing to induce her to divorce you. =

You can't do anything to induce her to divorce you. =

You must do nothing to induce her to divorce you. =

You mustn't do anything to induce her to divorce you.
