用法說明
How is "Permission" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Permission"?
permission doing vs permission to do
- permission doing 這種結構在標準英語中並不正確。動詞 "permission" 本身不直接接動名詞 (V-ing)。
- permission to do 是唯一正確的結構，表示「做某事的許可」。名詞 "permission" 後必須接不定詞 "to + 動詞原形" 來描述被允許的具體動作。
- 有時會看到 "permission for doing"，但這不如 "permission to do" 常見或自然，通常用於更正式的語境或指稱某個活動領域的許可。
- 請求許可時，常用句型是 ask for/grant permission to do something。
對比例句： EN: The teacher gave us permission to leave early. 翻譯: 老師允許我們提早離開。
EN:He needs to get permission for using the company logo.
翻譯:他需要獲得使用公司商標的許可。
總結建議
表達「做某事的許可」時，請統一使用 "permission to + 動詞原形" 這個標準結構。
易混淆對比
What is the difference between "Permission" and similar words?How to choose "Permission" vs alternatives?
permission vs authorization
「permission」通常指一般性的允許或同意，較為口語；「authorization」則更正式，常指官方或法律上的授權，帶有權力或資格賦予的意味。
permission vs consent
「permission」側重於上對下或規則下的允許；「consent」則強調雙方同意，尤其在法律、醫療或正式協議中，含有知情且自願同意的概念。
permission vs license
「permission」是廣泛的允許概念；「license」則特指官方頒發的許可證、執照或軟體的使用授權，是具體的、常為書面的文件或法律權利。

引述
在轉述他人給予或拒絕許可時，常用「permission」來客觀陳述事實。 EN: So I asked my boss, and he finally gave me permission to work from home. 翻譯: 所以我問了老闆，他終於准許我居家辦公了。
EN:She checked if she had permission to share those files before sending them.
翻譯:她在傳送那些檔案前，先確認了自己是否有分享的許可。
語氣強調
在口語中，常與「explicit」、「formal」、「written」等詞連用，以強調許可的正式性或明確性，避免誤解。 EN: You need explicit permission from the copyright holder to use that image. 翻譯: 你需要版權持有者的明確許可才能使用那張圖片。
EN:Don't just assume it's okay—get formal permission first.
翻譯:別只是覺得沒關係，要先取得正式許可。
停頓填充
在思考或組織語言時，有時會用「with your permission」或「without permission」作為緩衝或轉折的片語。 EN: With your permission, I'd like to move forward with the plan we discussed. 翻譯: 如果您允許的話，我想按照我們討論的計畫繼續進行。
EN:He just used my laptop without permission, which was really annoying.
翻譯:他未經許可就用了我的筆電，真的很讓人惱火。
正式寫作注意：在非常正式的書面文件（如法律合約、政策文件）中，傾向使用更精確的術語，如「authorization」、「consent」或「approval」。在這些情境中，僅使用「permission」可能顯得不夠嚴謹。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Permission"?Which "Permission" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I asked for a permission to leave early.
✓I asked for permission to leave early.
當 "permission" 表示「允許、許可」這個抽象概念時，是不可數名詞，前面不加冠詞 "a"。
×I have the permission of my boss.
✓I have my boss's permission. / I have permission from my boss.
表達「得到某人的許可」時，使用所有格 (boss's) 或 "permission from someone" 比 "the permission of someone" 更自然、更常用。
×Can I take a day off? — Yes, you have my permissions.
✓Can I take a day off? — Yes, you have my permission.
"Permission" 在一般情境下是不可數名詞，沒有複數形式 "permissions"。複數形式 "permissions" 通常用於科技或法律領域，指多個具體的授權項目（如軟體權限、法律許可證）。
×She didn't permission me to go.
✓She didn't give me permission to go. / She didn't allow me to go.
"Permission" 是名詞，不能當動詞使用。表達「允許」的動詞是 "permit" 或更常用的 "allow" 及 "let"。
×I got a permission slip from the teacher.
✓I got a permission slip from the teacher.
此句文法正確，但需注意："a permission slip" 是一個固定短語，指需要家長或監護人簽名的「許可單」。這裡 "permission" 作為複合名詞的一部分，前面可以加 "a"。學習者常誤以為所有包含 "permission" 的片語都不可數。
×You must ask for permission before to enter.
✓You must ask for permission before entering.
介系詞 "before" 後面應接名詞或動名詞 (V-ing)，不能接不定詞 "to enter"。
