You're not allowed to howl with her. 你是不能和她共嗥的
allow:允許, 讓某人得到, 留出, 同意(法律)
allow有“給”的意思,后可以加雙賓語。
He allows his son ¥10 a week.
permit和allow兩詞的用法和意思相近。
兩者可以通用,均指“允許”,且后面都可加賓語加不定式。
Allow/Permit me to congratulate you on your success.
當不存在賓語的時候,兩詞后加動名詞。
We do not allow/permit smoking in the kitchen.
allow和permit還常用于被動語態。
Smoking is not allowed/permitted in the kitchen.
但allow可與副詞搭配使用,而permit不行。
She wouldn't allow me in.
此外,allow有“容許,并不禁止”的意思,而permit指“準許”,比allow更正式化。
Nothing is permitted, everything is allowed.
一切都不準許,但也并不禁止。
There's something going around.事情有些奇怪
go around:四處走動, 流傳
All sorts of rumors are going around.
各種謠言正四處流傳。
