【问】 I forbid you from using that word.(我不许你用那个词。)这个句子是否正确?

【答】 按照传统语法学派的观点，这个句子是错误的。他们认为这是把prevent sb.from doingsth.的用法与forbid sb.to do sth.的用法弄混了。例如：

1. Who can prevent us from getting married now that you are of age? (ALD)

既然你已成年，谁能来阻止我们结婚呢?

2. Their father forbade them to go. (Dreiser)

他们的父亲不准他们出去。

3. It was useless to forbid children to play in the park. (RCD)

禁止孩子们在公园里游戏，那是无用的。

请做下面的英语试题：

In many states the law forbids citizens carrying pistols or rifles without first having obtained a special permit. (TOEFL，74. 1)
