 ♣ allow for, allow...for
　allow for　是“动+介”型短语动词，用作及物动词短语，不可分，意为“考虑到”“体谅”；而allow...for不是短语动词，这里的allow是及物动词，作“给予”解，其后接sb/sth，再接for引起的短语，表示“用途”。
 ♣ allow sb sth, allow sth to sb
　在表示“给予”时，这两种句型都可以用，其差别在于：
1. allow sb sth比allow sth to sb更常用。
2. allow sth to sb比allow sb sth更强调对象。
3. 表示“依照法律给予某人钱财”时，须用allow sth to sb.
 ♣ allow v-ing, allow to-v
　这两种用法的区别在于：动名词在allow之后是用作宾语；而不定式在allow之后是用作宾语补足语。例如：

 ♣ allow for, allow of
　这两个短语在意义上和用法上完全不同：
1. allow for的意思是“考虑到”“体谅到”；而allow of的意思是“容许有”“留余地”。
2. allow for的主语通常是人；而allow of的主语通常是事。
3. allow for可用于被动结构；而allow of则不能用于被动结构。
4. allow for多用于肯定式；而allow of多用于否定式。
5. allow for有时也可作“容许有”解，但这是美式用法。
 ♣ allow, promise
　这两个词都可译为“答应”，其区别是：allow含义是“允许”，而promise含义是“应承”。例如：

 ♣ allow, admit, let, permit
　参见admit条。
 ♣ allow of, admit of, permit of
　参见admit条。
 ♣ allow, concede, grant
　参见grant条。
