（非专业人士免进）be forbidden from和be prohibit from有什么区别？

be forbidden from和be prohibit from有什么区别？在用法上或者说适用范围上有什么区别？越详细越好。

Answer 1

首先你要分清forbidden和prohibit 的意思.prohibit [transitive]

1 [usually passive] to say that an action is illegal or not allowed [= ban, forbid]:
Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the factory.
prohibit somebody from doing something
They are prohibited from revealing details about the candidates.
2 formal to make something impossible or prevent it from happening

forbid
past tense forbade past participle forbidden present participle forbidding [transitive]

1 to tell someone that they are not allowed to do something, or that something is not allowed [≠ permit]
forbid somebody to do something
He was forbidden to leave the house, as a punishment.
forbid somebody from doing something
Women are forbidden from going out without a veil.
strictly/expressly/explicitly etc forbid
The law strictly forbids racial or sexual discrimination.
! It is more usual to say that someone is not allowed to do something, rather than forbidden to do it: I'm not allowed to stay out after midnight.
2 God/Heaven forbid spoken used to emphasize that you hope that something will not happen:
'Supposing I had an accident.' 'God forbid!'
3 formal to make it impossible for someone to do something [= prevent]:
Lack of space forbids listing the names of all those who contributed.

解释一下：主要区别在场合上
prohibit是指法律上的或正式的，严禁那些不法行为
forbid是指一般意义上的，禁止别人干某事都可以用be + 过去分词
