Question

不允许某人做某事怎么翻译？

permit sb not to do sth 和not permit sb to do sth有区别吗？题目：The teacher ___________________(不允许我们去游泳) in this river.可以说doesn't permit us not to swim也可以说 permits us not to swim吗？

Answer 1

还是有区别的， permit sb not to do sth 允许某人不做 是某人不做（后面表达的事情）这或许是某人不愿做而被许可 not permit sb to do sth 不允许某人做某事 这或许是某人想做而不被许可
老师不允许我们去河里游泳：The teacher doesn't permit us to swim in the river.
