我的语言伙伴问: 
 各位老师,👋may和can都有“能”的意思,这两个词有什么区别吗?怎样适用到句子中? 
  
 我用一个真正的
故事来回答。 我年轻的时候我举手问过老师:Can I go to the bathroom? 老师回答: Yes, you can but I am not allowing you to go right now.
老师解释说:你最好这样问我: May I go to the bathroom?
“Can” means able to. 能够。You are [physically] able to go to the bathroom. 你的身体能够去厕所。
“May” 你允许我去厕所吗?means do I have permission to go to the bathroom now?
You may now hit the like button. 我允许你点个赞👍😝
