In English grammar the modal verb “can” and its opposite “cannot or can’t” is explained as a verb that we use to describe ability or the lack of it. For example, I can play tennis or I cannot swim.
在英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法中,情態(tài)動(dòng)詞"can"和它的否定形式"can't"分別用來(lái)描述擁有某種能力和缺乏某種能力,比如"I can play tennis."(我會(huì)打網(wǎng)球。)或者" I cannot swim."(我不會(huì)游泳。)
In question form it can be used to ask permission, for example, “Can I leave early today?” or as a challenge – “Why can’t I have another biscuit?”
在疑問(wèn)句中,"can"和"can't"用于征得同意,比如“Can I leave early today?”(“我今天可以提前走嗎?”)或者可用于表達(dá)挑釁意味,如“Why can’t I have another biscuit?”(“我為什么不能再吃一塊餅干?”)
Can’t (or cannot) is also used with some verbs to create idiomatic expressions and are widely used by native English speakers.
"can't"(或"can not")也常常和一些動(dòng)詞連用,在英語(yǔ)中是常用的習(xí)慣表達(dá)。
