forbid用法小议

1. 一般不用于祈使句,如:

误:Forbid her to go out.

正:Tell her not to go out. 叫她出去。

2. 其后可接双宾语,意为“禁止或不准某人(使用或进入)……”。如:

His wife forbids him wine. 他老婆不准他喝酒。

He forbade his children sweets because he didn’t want their teeth to be ruined. 他不准孩子们吃糖,因为他不想他们的牙齿受损坏。

比较同义句型:

He forbade me his car.=He forbade me the use of his car.=He forbade me to use his car. 他不准我用他的小车。

3. 后接动词作宾语时,该动词要用动名词,不用不定式。如:

He forbids smoking during office hours. 他不允许在上班时间抽烟。

动名词前有时可以有自己的逻辑主语。如:

I can’t forbid your seeing that man again. 我无法禁止你再和那个男人来往。

注意,其后虽然不直接跟不定式,但可跟不定式的复合结构。如:

I forbid you to tell anyone. 我不准你告诉任何人。

The doctor forbids him to smoke. 医生禁止他吸烟。

表示“禁止某人做某事”,按传统语法,英语通常用 prevent (stop, keep, prohibit) sb from doing sth,而不用 forbid,但在现代英语中也可以这样用。如:

He forbade them from mentioning the subject again. ——摘自《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》(第6版)
