应该是 may not be.例如:
In view of this, the decision may not be easy.考虑到这点,可能很难作出决定.The hen may not be ableto feed its young. 雌鸟可能无法给幼鸟喂食.The list may not be complete.这个单子可能不全.
不仅 not 要跟在 may 后,在否定中,否定词 not 只能跟在系动词 be、助动词和情态动词后.如:
He is not a coward. 他不是懦夫.I do not have any chance. 我没有机会.(助动词 do 后)You have not got it. 你还没有领会意思.(助动词 have 后)Such things can not happen. 这样的事情不可能发生.(情态动词 can 后)You must not go there alone. 你一定不要单独去那里.(情态动词 must 后)
