别人告诉我这里是错误的，需要改成cannot
我不明白为什么？ | n***h
发帖数: 429 | 2 应该都没有错，但是
正式written English里用cannot比较多
除非你要强调not的时候，用can *not* (italics)
口语用can't比较多

The negative of the auxiliary can, cannot occurs less frequently than the
contraction can’t but much more frequently than can not, which is sometimes
used for emphasis and to reflect the fact that this locution may be
stressed on the not as well as on the can. Cannot is Formal, can’t
relatively Informal in writing, and can’t is the more frequent in
Conversational contexts, but it is often appropriate

Here is an example that shows the difference:
"I can not go to the party, if you don't want me to go."
我可以不去。。。
(Most will say "I will not go to the party, if you don't want me to go.")
"I cannot go to the party, even if you want me to go."
我无法去。。。
(I am unable to go to the party.)
