x forbids y to do

E.g. I forbid you to go.

x prohibits y

E.g. Modesty prohibits me from saying what happened.

forbid, ban, prohibit

都含有禁止的意思

forbid 系常用词，指“命令某人不作某事”例如

The doctor forbids him to smoke.

ban 语气较重，指权威机关“正式禁止”含“严厉谴责”之意，只能用事物作其宾语，如

Ban atomic and nuclear weapons!

Prohibit 指通过“政府法令和法律禁止”如

The soldiers were prohibited from leaving camp after dark.

郁闷之极！还是不明白为什么A不对！

本来试着这么理解：

prohibit x to do y: do y 的动作还没有开始做

prohibit x from doing y: doing y 的动作曾经做过

所以本题A逻辑上不对。可是仔细一看，og的解释是A violates idiom，而并不是逻辑上有问题。

请牛人指教！

顶顶顶

同问，A的结构就是prohibit x to do y的形式，为什么说不对呢？OG后面的解释明明说是OK的啊（Either of the following constructions would be idiomatic here: x forbids y to do z or x prohibits y from doing z. ）

(A) prohibiting landfills to accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings
