Question

prohibit和forbid的区别？

Answer 1

你好!!

当prohibit和forbid 作为动词"阻止,不许"的意思时候, 意义上没有区别.
但是用法上有区别.

prohibit通常后接介词from. 例如: 医生阻止(不许)他吸烟.

The doctor prohibits him from smoking.

The doctor forbids him to smoke.

这就是二者在用法上的区别.

谢谢!!

Answer 2

prohibit (from) doing sth
forbid sb to do sth
意思都是禁止做某事,没有区分。
做题时注意固定搭配就可以了
