og 100 A错在哪

winnie

100. Wisconsin, Illinois, Florida, and Minnesota have begun to enforce statewide bans prohibiting landfills to accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings.

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

(B) prohibiting that landfills accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings

(C) prohibiting landfills from accepting leaves, brush, and grass clippings

(D) that leaves, brush, and grass clippings cannot be accepted in landfills（C）

(E) that landfills cannot accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings

Choice C is the best answer. Either of the following constructions would be idiomatic here: x forbids y to do z or x prohibits y from doing z. Choices A and B violate idiom; D and E introduce constructions that, in context, are faulty. First of all, both bans that x cannot be done and bans that y cannot do x are unidiomatic formulations. Secondly, the negative cannot after bans is illogical.  

Why A is wrong?

the construction is idiomatic here: x forbids（prohibit吧？） y to do z.

建议:把OG里写的固定用法背下来!

跟背不背下来没关系。

prohibit from doing, forbid to do本来就是固定用法, 没有什么理由.

winnie

就是因为prohibit from doing, forbid to do本来就是固定用法, 没有什么理由.

所以我才问：(A) prohibiting landfills to accept leaves, brush, and grass clippings

该选项符合forbid to do结构，那么到底错在那里？

盼望NN的解释！

这两个一样吗?

并不是词义相近，词的用法及搭配就要一样，英语中是没有这样的必然联系的，forbid 和prohibit尽管词义相近，但是却是两个完全不同的词，用法没有任何的关系。
