permit与allow用法区别是什么?

答案

allow与permit的用法区别的用法区别
1.两者均可表示“允许”,其区别是permit 通常指上级、规则或法令等表示的准许,其语气较重；而 allow 通常指消极地不加反对,有时含有听任或默许之意,语气较轻.如：Nothing is permitted; everything is allowed.一切都没明文规定可以做,但一切做了也无妨.The nurse allowed him to remain there,though it was not permitted.护士让他留在那儿,而按规定那是不许可的.
2.从用法上看.两者后接动词作宾语时,均要用动名词形式,而不能用不定式.如：We don’t allow [permit] swimming in the pool.我们不许在池子里游泳.但是若其后接有名词或代词,那么其后须接不定式.如：We don’t allow [permit] children to swim in the pool.我们不许孩子们在池子里游泳.注意这类结构的被动式之后可用不定式(此时的不定式不是宾语,而是主语补语).如：正：We do not allow [permit] people to smoke here.正：People are not allowed [permitted] to smoke here.误：People are not allowed [permitted] smoking here.
