1 名词of 后面如果有and会影响名词的单复数吗

 I think my ability of expressing and working and my skill of handling the human relationship are not good enough to be an efficient employee.

这是我自己写的一个句子,应该是ability 还是abilities?还是说两个都可以,没有具体的规定?

网友好,介词of对不对,是个问题。

Macmillan English Dictionary 2nd Edition


When ability means ‘the fact of being able to do something’, it is followed by an infinitive. It is never used in the pattern ‘the ability of doing something’:

      ✗ Imagination is the ability of making up pictures in your mind.

      ✓ Imagination is the ability to make up pictures in your mind.

      ✗ The ability of speaking English has become extremely important.

      ✓ The ability to speak English has become extremely important.

 In this meaning, ability is not used in the plural:

      ✗ It is good that we have abilities to dream and imagine.

      ✓ It is good that we have the ability to dream and imagine.

       

      The plural form abilities , which is much less frequent, is used to refer to someone’s ‘skills’ or ‘talents’, and is never followed by an infinitive:

      Men and women have different needs, interests and abilities .

ability

Remember that ability is never followed by 'of'.Don't say 'ability of doing something', say ability to do something :

✗ I admire people who have the ability of being positive.I admire people who have the ability to be positive.

逻辑分析,ability 后面如果是两项或以上的能力,自然要用复数形式,即:

abilities of doing something and doing something

abilities of something and something

又如:

abilities of reading and writing:读和写的能力。

strong abilities of communication, coordination and resources integration.  

很强的沟通能力、协调能力、资源整合能力。

且不看ability的搭配,宏观看,这就是病句,缩减后,意思是:能力不能成为一个员工。

能力怎么变员工?
