“allow”是一個英語動詞,主要含義為“允許”或“給予許可”。根據牛津詞典的權威解釋,其核心意義是“不阻止某事發生”或“使某事成為可能”。例如在法律語境中,“The law allows citizens to protest peacefully”(法律允許公民和平抗議)體現了該詞的社會規範性。
從語法結構看,“allow”常接兩種形式:
在引申用法中,“allow for”表示“考慮到”或“為……留餘地”,例如韋氏詞典引用的例句:“The schedule allows for delays”(日程表預留了延誤時間)。此外,商務英語中常用“allow a discount”(允許折扣)表達商業條款中的權限。
該詞的被動語态“be allowed”強調被授權狀态,如“Smoking is not allowed here”(此處禁止吸煙)常見于公共标識語。權威語法研究顯示,這種用法在正式文體中出現頻率高于主動語态。
參考來源:
allow 是英語中常用的動詞,核心含義為“允許、準許”,既可表示對行為、事物的許可,也可指給予時間、空間或可能性。其詞源可追溯至拉丁語 adlaudare(意為“同意”)。
允許某人做某事:
結構:allow sb. to do sth.
例句:
My parents allow me to watch TV on weekends.(父母允許我周末看電視。)
The new rule allows students to use dictionaries during the test.(新規允許學生在考試時使用詞典。)
允許某事發生:
結構:allow doing sth.
例句:

給予(時間、金錢等):
例句:
Their teacher allowed them three days for the assignment.(老師給了他們三天時間完成作業。)
承認或認可:
例句:
He allowed that they were right.(他承認他們是對的。)
考慮可能性:
結構:allow for
例句:
We need to allow for extra time in case of traffic.(我們需要預留額外時間以防堵車。)
容許存在:

被動語态:

易混淆點:
與 let 的區别:
let 後直接接動詞原形(不帶 to),而 allow 必須用 to。
例句:
Mom lets me play games.(正确)
Mom allows me to play games.(正确)
漏掉 to:
錯誤:My boss allows me work from home.
正确:My boss allows meto work from home.
Taking photos is not permitted in this museum.(博物館内禁止拍照。)
日常對話:

學術寫作:

法律與規章:

allow 是一個功能多樣的動詞,既可用于日常許可(如家長允許孩子玩耍),也可用于正式授權(如政策允許使用資源)。關鍵需掌握其搭配結構(如 allow sb. to do、allow for)及與同義詞的細微差異。牢記“允許做某事帶 to,被動語态 to 保留”,可有效避免常見語法錯誤。
