allow\permit 之间的区别


       allow permit这两个词的意义与用法相近permit这个词稍微正式一些,其意义为“答应”“准许” , 其句型为:
       1、allow/permit sth
       2、allow/permit sb to do sth
       3、allow/permit doing sth
      如:

       ①.This plant allows one hour for lunch.
      这家工厂答应一个小时的吃饭时间。
      ②.He would not permit the waste of a single grain.
      他不答应浪费一粒粮食。
      ③.They don't allow/permit people to smoke in the offices.
      ④.We don't allow/permit smoking in the offices.
      ⑤.Talking loudly is not allowed/permitted in the library.
      但是allow可以与状语小品词连用,permit则不能 如:

       ①.She would it allow me in
      她不愿让我进去
      ②.Mery isn't allowed out at night.
      晚上不答应马丽出去。
      以上两句中的“allow”不能用permit代替。
