首先我们来看下allow和doing的大致意思:

allow:词性为动词,to give permission for something, or to not prevent something from happening

doing:词性为动名词,the action of doing something

通过下面的表格我们了解下allow和doing的含义、发音和用法


接下来让我们看下allow和doing的用法区别:


1.语法结构:allow sb. to do sth. 中的 to 是不定式符号,表示动作的目的或结果;allow sb. doing sth. 中的 doing 是动名词,表示正在进行的行为。

例子:

- I allow him to attend the party.

(我允许他去参加派对。)

- I don't allow him doing phone calls.

(我不允许他打电话。)



2.时态:allow sb. to do sth. 可用于各种时态,如一般现在时、一般过去时、将来时等;allow sb. doing sth. 主要用于一般现在时。

例子:

- Dad allows me to go to the amusement park tomorrow.

(爸爸允许我明天去游乐场。)

- The teacher doesn't allow students using phones in class.

(老师不允许学生在课堂上使用手机。)



3.语气:allow sb. to do sth. 更常用于陈述句,表示客观事实;allow sb. doing sth. 更常用于否定句或疑问句,表示主观推测或怀疑。

例子:

- They allow us to study in the library.

(他们允许我们在图书馆里自习。)

- Are you sure the teacher allows them leaving early?

(你确定老师允许他们提前离开吗?)



4.语义区别:allow sb. to do sth. 强调允许某人做某事,并没有具体指明行为是否正在进行;allow sb. doing sth. 强调允许某人正在进行某事,强调行为本身。

例子:

- They don't allow me to enter the conference room.

(他们不允许我进入会议室。)

- They don't allow me playing phones in the conference room.

(他们不允许我在会议室里玩手机。)
