紫皮语法 OG11-48

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

答案是C

我的疑问在于OG对D,E的解释 "Bans that ... cannot be accept is not a correct idiom; cannot following bans is not logical"

Bans后面不能加cannot是什么意思? 难道应该说"Bans that ...can be accept"才对吗?

恳求牛人指点啊~~

哎呀呀怎么没有牛人路过....

不是NN,谈谈个人看法

can/cannot 表示可能性，ban是禁止某人做某事，而不是禁止某人做事的可能性，所以用can也不对，而且用can改变了原意！

本题：

第一步就该排除 DE，因为定从

第二步，固定搭配，排除 AB

请指正

纯粹是自己的感觉啊.我觉得是英语中同位语的一种习惯,即同位语要求把名次和同位语从句的意思结合起来才能表示完整的意思. ban that ... can not, 如果结合起来看ban和can not到底是ban还是不ban呢?

所以，推测native speaker根本就不会去想这类的问题，因为他们根本就不会这样用 ban that..., 而出口就是 ban on sth....;纯粹闭门瞎想，供参考。
