admit,admit of
一般说来,admit表示“许入”、“进入”(allow somebody or something to enter)或“承认”(acknowledge)的意义;admit of则表示“容许”(allow of)或“容有”(leave room for)之意。例如:
this ticket admits one person only.
此券只准一人入场。
i admitted him to the lecture.
我准许他入内听讲。
he has admitted the fact.
他已承认此事。
this matter admits of no delay.
此事刻不容缓。
this word admits of several interpretations.
这个词可作几种解释。
admit的主语既可以是物,也可以是人,而admit of 的主语只可以是没有生命的事物。例如,我们不能说: i can't admit of your doing it,而只能说:i can't allow you to do it。又如,不可以说:he can admit of no question,而应该说:his veracity admits of no question(他的诚信是勿容置疑的)。
