allow/permit

问

The nurse ____ the visitors to remain beyond the hospital visiting hours though it was not ____.
A. permitted, permitted B. allowed, allowed
C. allowed, permitted D. permitted, allowed
我选了D，对吗？

答

此题答案是 C。虽然 allow 与 permit 的基本含义相同, 基本句型也相同 (allow/permit sth. 或 doing sth., allow/permit sb. to do sth.), 但是它们的语体色彩和附加意义色彩是不同的。allow 是个普通常用词, 而 permit 是个相当正式的书面语体词。此外, allow 含有听任、默许的意思, 而 permit 含正式批准和正式许可的意思。这样一来, 就存在着一个把正确的词用到正确的时间和地点的问题:

  1. They do not allow you to smoke. 他们不允许你抽烟。

  2. You are not permitted to smoke in the hospital. 医院里不准许吸烟。

练习

    3. C

    4. D

      to have a smoke(全国四级,91.6-49)
