大学英语四级词汇重点详解·allow

 

■主要用法

allow只用作及物动词,主要用法如下:

1. 允许,准许

Papa wouldn’t allow it. 爸爸不会允许的。

We can allow the children out till 9. 我们可以让孩子们在外面待到9点。

2. 给予,让…得到

We allow a ten percent discount for cash payment. 付现款可以打9折。

3. 承认

We must allow that he is a good teacher.

=It must be allowed that he is a good teacher.

=We must allow him to be a good teacher. 我们应当承认他是位好老师。

allow for 考虑到,把…考虑进来,顾及,体谅

We should allow for every possible delay. 我们应该考虑到任何可能的延误。

We must allow for his youth. 我们必须体谅他的年轻。

allow of 容许,容许…的可能

The facts allow of only one explanation. 这些事实只能有一种解释。

■考点说明

1. 其后可接名词、代词、动名词或不定式的复合结构等作宾语, 但不直接跟不定式或从句作宾语

We don’t allow eating in the classrooms. (我们)不允许在教室吃饭。

We don’t allow students to eat in the classrooms. (我们)不允许在教室吃饭。

但是不能说(from www.yywords.com)

We don’t allow to eat in the classrooms. ()

We don’t allow that students eat in the classrooms. ()

注意,下面这个句子是对的,因为allowed后的不定式不是宾语,而是宾语补足语:

Students are not allowed to eat in the classrooms.

2. 表示“给予”时,其后可接双宾语:

He allows his son too much money. 他给他儿子的钱太多。

Allow me one minute in which to change my clothes. 给我一点时间换衣服。

■易混辨析

allow, permitpermit 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:

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。
