以下是引用yaoshuming在2007-2-8 15:09:00的发言：

哦，我似乎懂了

ban+that，that里面的内容是要ban的东西，也就是说是错的内容

ban+doing，doing是与ban同性质的，也就是说是对的内容

因此ban prohibiting。。。中prohibiting是与ban等同的

隔了好多天回头看，还是不明白，ban+that, that引导的是同位语从句啊，从句说明这个ban是什么东东，不是宾语从句呀，为什么是错的内容呢？

看了前面所有的帖子还是似懂非懂

ban prohibiting... 这里prohibiting是做后置定语修饰ban的吧 而不是和ban等同的内容

RON的解答：

To use the word 'ban' correctly, you have to say that the ban prevents (or prohibits, or proscribes, or criminalizes, or one of the many other words carrying the meaning of 'puts off limits') something. You can't say 'a ban that X does Y'. So that does it for the last two choices.

As an alternative construction - possibly the most common construction, actually - you can say a ban ON (NOUN). This construction could theoretically be used here, but (1) it isn't, and (2) it would be difficult to introduce it into this particular sentence without some seriously awkward phrasing.

A and B are done in by poor idiomatic usage. As far as A, you can't say 'X is prohibited TO (verb)', although you can say the related 'It is prohibited to (verb)'. You have to say that X is prohibited FROM (verb)ing'. And B should look really, really wrong to just about any native writer/speaker of English.

That leaves C.
