及物动词
(-bad , -bade; -bidden;forbidding)
1.禁止,不许。forbid sth. forbid sb. from doing sth. forbid sb. to do sth.
3.(正式)阻止,妨碍,使(某人)不可能做某事。Lack of space forbids the listing of all those who contributed.作者: zhaoyiqing 时间: 2011-1-1 06:55
同意LZ关于时态的说法。而且,一般不要轻易改变原句时态,对句意的伤害太大。字典确认forbid sb from doing sth是idiomatic,虽然可能不如forbid sb to do sth好。
不敢对NN们定的答案不敬。但我个人是实在不喜欢A。新合同禁止一个运输工会的罢工?甚么意思?我的秘书要这么写报告,我就解雇她。和GMAT要求的直接了当的风格实在差之千里也!最少也应写成:The new contract forbids any strike by the transpotation union. 吧?B多好,The new contract forbids the TU from striking (新合同禁止运输工会罢工),直接了当,禁谁禁它甚么,清楚明白,落地有声。所以,ETS胆敢在我的考试中出这题,我就选B。作者: seuhongkai 时间: 2011-1-1 21:17
forbit 的确有 forbid sb. to do 和 forbid sb. doing 的用法。
但是在 gmat 中forbid sb. to do 常见,至于 forbid sb. doing 为什么错误有待讨论。作者: WesternCder 时间: 2011-1-2 20:49
在Manhattangmat中找到一个解释:
"forbid X to do Y" is the correct idiomatic construction. A lot of people think the correct construction should be "forbid X from (doing) Y" ,we all use this in everday conversation... but it's not grammatically correct.
It sounds terrible, I agree! But that's the idiomatic construction. If it's any consolation, this particular usage isn't tested very frequently.

如此看来,我们可以确定forbid sb from doing sth在书面英语中是不能用的。
