   He admits to being ignorant of it.

2. admit可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时后接名词、代词、动名词或that从句作宾语。admit还可接以“(as/)to be+ n./adj. ”充当补足语的复合宾语。
3. admit可用于被动结构,其过去式admitted可用作形容词,在句中作定语。
4. admit作“承认”解时可用于插入语,用以缓和语气,以不减损对别人的尊重。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

admit, allow, let, permit

• 1.admit指“允许某人进入”某场地,或加入某组织,含有勉强的意味。例如：
• She opened the door reluctantly to admit the unwelcome visitor.她很不情愿地把门打开,让不受欢迎的客人进去了。
• Jack was admitted to the hospital to have his tumour removed.医生收杰克住院切除肿瘤。
• allow指“允许某人做…”,给予客体执行某任务的权力,或同意某人的要求,和permit同义。它们在许多场合中可以通用。不过两者的意思也有细微差别, allow的意思是“允许”,表示主体有权不阻止、不妨碍或默许某事进行的意思。例如：
• Playing ball is not allowed in the park.公园内不许打球。
• Parking is not allowed here.此处不准停车。
• permit表示给予客体做某事的权力。例如：
• Time does not permit me to stay longer.时间不容许我在这里多留一会。
• let含有放任的意味。例如：
• Tom's parents will not let him swim in the lake.汤姆的父母不让他在湖里游泳。
• 2.permit 后可接不定式和动名词,但不可接名词从句; let不用动名词作宾语,其宾语后接动词原形。
• 3.allow还表示客气的请求,可和let通用。例如：
• Allow me to〔Let me〕 thank you on behalf of our factory.请允许我代表全厂职工向你致谢。
• permit是书面语,比allow带有更庄重、正式的语言色彩,含有正面的、积极的意义,指“同意某人的要求、给予某人做…的权力”。例如：
• The facts permit no other explanations.这些事实不容许作其他解释。
• let 是口头语。例如：
• We won't let such a thing happen again.我们绝不允许再发生这样的事。

admit of, allow of, permit of

• 这组短语都可以表示“容许,留有…的余地”,多用于否定句,有时也可用于肯定句,三者常可互换,但admit of和permit of的主语多为物质或抽象名词,而allow of的主语间或可以是人。例如：
• The matter admits of no delay.这事不容耽搁。
• Your fault doesn't permit of any excuse.你的过失不容争辩。
• You allow of no chance.你没有机会了。

admit, acknowledge, confess, own

• 这四个词都有“公开承认”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.acknowledge和admit所承认的是不对的或不光彩的事实; confess指承认“错误及罪行”; own承认的不一定是“错误及罪行”,只是一般地表明自己的感觉及处境。例如:
• He acknowledged that he was your inferior.他承认他不及你。
• Did he admit to stealing it?他承认是他偷的吗?
• He confessed where he had hidden the money.他供出了他藏钱的地方。
• 2.acknowledge强调在一定压力下承认, admit强调勉强承认。例如:
• Dan acknowledged himself as criminal.达恩承认自己是罪人。
• I admit to a natural fear.我承认生来胆小。
• 3.acknowledge所承认的一般是隐蔽的, admit, confess和own所承认的不一定是隐蔽的。例如:
• Jane acknowledged using her father's motor-car.珍妮承认用了她父亲的摩托车。
• They admitted my statement to be reasonable.他们承认我的陈述有道理。
• The police have confessed themselves completely puzzled by this strange crime.警方承认他们完全被这桩奇特的罪案搞糊涂了。
• 4.confess语气上较强,属正式语体; own则不如confess正式。
• 5.这四个词用作及物动词时,都可接简单宾语或复合宾语,除own外,其他词均可接动名词。admit, confess和own用作不及物动词都可与介词to搭配,其后均可接动名词。例如:
• They acknowledged having been defeated.他们认输了。
• He confessed taking part in a plot to free the prisoner.他供认自己参与了企图营救那个囚犯的密谋。
• She admitted having done wrong.她承认自己做错了。

admit, receive, take

• 这三个词都有“接受”的意思。其区别是：
• receive主要表示接到或收到,而不含采取主动或积极行动的意思; admit强调接纳,暗示接纳者采取允许、宽容的态度或作出让步; take是日常用词,指不带有主观意愿地收下。

下面三句意思相同：

• The boy admitted stealing the jewels.
• The boy admitted to stealing the jewels.
• The boy admitted that he had stolen the jewels.
• 男孩承认偷了珠宝。

下面两句话意思不同：

• But Susan doesn't admit that she has done anything wrong.
• 可苏珊不承认她做错过什么事。
• But Susan doesn't admit doing anything wrong.
• 可苏珊不承认有什么事做错过。

accept，receive，admit，take

• 这些动词均有“接受、接纳”之意。
• accept强调主动地或自愿地接受，或者说，经过考虑后同意接受。
• receive着重仅仅接到或收到这一结论或事实，而不含采取主动或积极行动的意思。
• admit作“接受”讲时，强调准许或批准。
• take与receive同意，是receive的日常用法，侧重不带主观意愿地收下或接受。

acknowledge，admit，confess，recognize，concede

• 这些动词均含“承认”之意。
• acknowledge通常指公开承认某事的真实情况或自己的过错。
• admit强调因外力或良心驱使或经判断而明确承认，多含不情愿或被迫意味。
• confess语气较强，着重承认自己意识到的错误或罪行，含坦白忏悔的意味。
• recognize作“承认”解时，系书面用词，主要指合法的或外交上的承认，也指公认。
• concede指在事实与证据面前勉强或不得不承认。

常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 他承认害怕打雷。

   误 He admits to be afraid of the thunder.

   正 He admits being afraid of the thunder.

   析 admit可用动名词作宾语,但不能用不定式作宾语。

2. 我不允许你做那件事。

   误 I cannot admit of your doing that.

   正 I cannot allow you to do that.

   析 admit of 一般只用事物而不用人作主语。

3. 他承认搞错了。

   误 He admitted to be wrong.

   正 He admitted to being wrong.

   析 admit后接介词to,但是不能接动词不定式。

4. 非公莫入。

   误 No one should be admitted to enter except on business.

   正 No one should be admitted except on business.

   析 admit本身已含有“入内”的意思, to enter为多余的。

5. 他对我承认犯了一个错误。

   误 He admitted me that he had made a mistake.

   正 He admitted to me that he had made a mistake.

   析 “对我承认…”不能说admit me that...,而必须说admit to me that...。
