谢谢YY 及时的回复。我知道prohibit不可以用不定式，但是forbid可以用from doing。

我查longman，里面也有forbid sb. from doing sth.的用法 。复制如下。

forbid: to tell someone that they are not allowed to do something, or that something is not allowed
ￚopposite permit
forbid somebody to do something
He was forbidden to leave the house, as a punishment.
forbid somebody from doing something
Women are forbidden from going out without a veil.

这个怎么理解呢？

谢谢 ^_^

OG-100:

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

(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.

只能说OG有这样的偏好了
