Although the verb “prevent” takes the preposition “from”, it can also be used with no preposition. The rules are as follows:
盡管動詞“prevent”可以帶介詞“from”,它也可以不用介詞。規(guī)則如下:
“prevent” + something
“prevent”+某事
The soldiers prevented the evacuation.
例句:士兵們阻止撤離。
“prevent” somebody from + -ing
“prevent”某人做某事
The soldiers prevented the refugees from evacuating.
例句:士兵們阻止難民們撤離。
The word “prohibit” works in exactly the same way:
單詞“prohibit”的用法和“prevent”基本一致:
“prohibit” + something
“prohibit”+某事
The school rules prohibit smoking.
例句:學(xué)校規(guī)定禁止吸煙。
“prohibit” somebody from + -ing
“prohibit”某人做某事
There are no specific provisions in the law that would prohibit an employer from summarily dismissing an employee due to his/her misconduct.
例句:法律中沒有特定的條文禁止雇主在暑假期間因為員工的表現(xiàn)不佳而將其解雇。
The verb “ban” also works in the same way:
動詞“ban”也是類似的用法:
The government banned advertising of tobacco products in 2002.
例句:2002年,政府禁止煙草制品打廣告。
The court banned him from attending football matches.
法庭禁止他參加足球比賽。
