补充否定: 【英】 【美】 cannot, 【美】 can not(较为 【文】 且语意较重), 【口】 can't;过去式could;后接动词原形第三人称单数现在式动词不加s;原形用be able to;分词则用been [being] able to(但be able to不可用于字义2、3的用法)。 用法(1)a)作字义1解时,过去式固可用could,但因could亦可用于假设法,故普通多用was [were] able to: I [He] was able to swim. b)口语用法常在表示目的的副词子句中用can以代替may。 (2)a)作字义2解时,疑问句正式用法为May I ...?但是 【口】 中常用Can I ...? b)尤其在如下面的否定疑问句中,通常用can't而不用mayn't: Why can't I go to the movies? 为什么我不能去看电影? (3)表示强烈禁止的意思时用must not,表示轻微禁止的语意时用cannot为佳: You must not stay here. 不许你在此逗留。 You cannot stay here. 你不可在此逗留。 短语- as ... as can be
