  • 106 allow

    [ə'lau]
    v
    разрешать, позволять
    - allow smb to do smth
    - smoking is not allowed here!
    CHOICE OF WORDS:
    Русское вежливое обращение "разрешите?" может передаваться несколькими способами: (а.) разрешите (поухаживать за вами, помочь вам снять пальто)? allow me to help you with your coat или may I help you with your coat?; (б) разрешите (вам помочь)? may I (help you)?; (в) разрешите (пройти) excuse me или will you let me pass
    USAGE:
    (1.) В пассивном залоге глагол to allow может употребляться как с инфинитивом, так и с герундием: students are not allowed to smoke (smoking) here студентам здесь не разрешается курить. (2.) В пассивных формах глагол to allow не употребляется безличным подлежащим it, таким образом, русскому словосочетанию здесь не разрешается курить (купаться)/запрещается курить (купаться) соответствует герундию в форме подлежащего smoking (swimming) is not allowed; личной форме английского предложения you are allowed 40 kg of luggage free of charge соответствует русское предложение "на билет разрешается бесплатный провоз сорока килограммов груза". (3.) Пассивная форма глагола to allow - to be allowed (to do smth) употребляется как эквивалент модального глагола can в значении "разрешать, позволять". В группе перфектных форм и формах будущего всех временных групп употребляется только форма to be allowed. (4.) See enable, v (5.) See advise, v
