They shouldn't allow parking here; the street is too narrow. 这儿不该允许停车,马路太窄了。
我们不许在池子里游泳。
正:We don't allow swimming in the pool.

但是,它们虽然不能直接跟不定式作宾语,但可跟不定式的复合结构作宾语。如:

2. 两者均可后接双宾语。如:

As it was such a special occasion, she permitted herself a small glass of champagne. 由于那是一个很特别的场合,所以她。
3. 两者均不能后接that引导的宾语从句。如:
我们不允许人们在大教室抽烟。
误:We don't allow [permit] that people smoke in the lecture room.
正:We don't allow [permit] people to smoke in the lecture room.
4. allow与allow的几点区别:
(1) permit 通常指上级、规则或法令等表示的准许,其语气较重;而allow 通常指消极地不加反对,有时含有听任或默许之意,语气较轻:The nurse allowed him to remain there,though it was not permitted. 护士让他留在那儿,而按规定那是不许可的。
(2) permit可用于带形式主语it的被动结构,但allow不行。如:
It is not permitted to smoke in the kitchen. 厨房内不准吸烟。
(3) allow可与状语小品词连用,但permit不行。如:
She wouldn't allow me in. 她不让我进去。
