allow
1.allow（给）可以有双宾语，如He allows his son ¥10 a week和He allows himself no luxuries。

3.allow用作“说”或“声称”解，如She allowed [that] he was right。主要用在美国。
4.allow of和admit of意思相同，作“有…的余地”解，如The question allows of no dispute。allow for是“考虑到”或“体谅”，如We must allow for accidents（我们须要考虑到意外）和He has indeed made many mistakes, but you must allow for his inexperience。（他诚然犯了许多错误，但你必须因为他缺乏经验而原谅他。）
