allow含义是“允许”,而promise含义是“应承”。例如：

He has allowed me to come.

他允许我来。

He promised me to come.

他答应我他会来。

promise, consent

这两个词都有“答应”的意思。其区别是：

promise是“自己主动答应”这一概念,含有自觉主动的意味; 而consent则是“答应人家的要求”,含有被动的意味。试比较:

Our director has promised to make a speech.

我们的主任已答应作个报告。

(是他主动答应的)

We asked our director to make a speech and he consented.

我们要求主任作个报告,他答应了。

(是我们要求的)

I'll keep my word;I'll tell him everything.我将遵守诺言,把一切告诉他。

promise, permit

正 She gave me the promise to help me.

析 表示“答应某人做某事”可说give sb a promise to- v ,在promise后须用动词不定式,不能用“of+动名词”结构。
