一.company:n. 公司，商号，陪伴，同伴，客人，[军]连，一群 v. 陪伴
【词义辨析】
company,corporation,firm
company: 多指生产或销售产品的公司、商号，也可指经办服务性项目的公司。
corporation: 多指一个人拥有或多人联办的大公司，也指在其它地区或国家拥有分公司的公司。
firm: 含义广泛，可指公司、商行或商号。规模可大可小，经营、管理的人员可多可少。
【词语用法】
company作名词指“客人”时前面不加冠词a或the.
We had company at dinner.
company 作名词指“公司”时，可用作单数或复数，不过存在and时必须要用复数形式。
The cinema company is/are holding a meeting.
Smith and Company are holding a meeting.
company作名词指“公司”时，前面有无and意义不同，如Smith和其他人合办的公司叫Smith andCompany，这种情况下company前不加冠词the，也可以叫The
Smith Company。
只要是没有and 或&符号的，前面用The或不用The都可以。有时有多个姓，如Smith, Jones, andCompany, Smith and Jones Company, The Smith and Jones
Company(这里and后面并不直接跟Company，可以加冠词the)。
【例句用法】
1.I hate going out alone: I take my daughter for company.
我不愿独自一人出门，带女儿作个伴。
2.His father asked him to avoid bad company.
他父亲要他不要交坏朋友。

二.allow：vt. 允许，让某人得到，留出，同意(法律) vi. (for)考虑到，允许
【词语用法】
allow有“给”的意思，后可以加双宾语。

permit和allow两词的用法和意思相近。
两者可以通用，均指“允许”，且后面都可加宾语加不定式。
Allow/Permit me to congratulate you on your success.
当不存在宾语的时候，两词后加动名词。
We do not allow/permit smoking in the kitchen.
allow和permit还常用于被动语态。
Smoking is not allowed/permitted in the kitchen.
但allow可与副词搭配使用，而permit不行。
She wouldn't allow me in.
此外，allow有“容许，并不禁止”的意思，而permit指“准许”，比allow更正式化。
Nothing is permitted, everything is allowed.
一切都不准许，但也并不禁止。
allow of同admit of一样，指“有…的余地”。
The question allows of no dispute.
allow for指“考虑，体谅”。
We must allow for accidents.
我们必须考虑到意外。
He has indeed made many mistakes, but you must allow for his inexperience.
