【詞語用法】
company作名詞指“客人”時前面不加冠詞a或the.

company 作名詞指“公司”時，可用作單數(shù)或復數(shù)，不過存在and時必須要用復數(shù)形式。
The cinema company is/are holding a meeting.
Smith and Company are holding a meeting.
company作名詞指“公司”時，前面有無and意義不同，如Smith和其他人合辦的公司叫Smith andCompany，這種情況下company前不加冠詞the，也可以叫The
Smith Company。
只要是沒有and 或&符號的，前面用The或不用The都可以。有時有多個姓，如Smith, Jones, andCompany, Smith and Jones Company, The Smith and Jones
Company(這里and后面并不直接跟Company，可以加冠詞the)。
【例句用法】
1.I hate going out alone: I take my daughter for company.
我不愿獨自一人出門，帶女兒作個伴。
2.His father asked him to avoid bad company.
他父親要他不要交壞朋友。

二.allow：vt. 允許，讓某人得到，留出，同意(法律) vi. (for)考慮到，允許
【詞語用法】
allow有“給”的意思，后可以加雙賓語。
He allows his son ￥10 a week.
permit和allow兩詞的用法和意思相近。
兩者可以通用，均指“允許”，且后面都可加賓語加不定式。
Allow/Permit me to congratulate you on your success.
當不存在賓語的時候，兩詞后加動名詞。
We do not allow/permit smoking in the kitchen.
allow和permit還常用于被動語態(tài)。
Smoking is not allowed/permitted in the kitchen.
但allow可與副詞搭配使用，而permit不行。
She wouldn't allow me in.
此外，allow有“容許，并不禁止”的意思，而permit指“準許”，比allow更正式化。
Nothing is permitted, everything is allowed.
一切都不準許，但也并不禁止。
allow of同admit of一樣，指“有…的余地”。
The question allows of no dispute.
allow for指“考慮，體諒”。
We must allow for accidents.
我們必須考慮到意外。
He has indeed made many mistakes, but you must allow for his inexperience.
他是犯了很多錯誤，但你必須因他缺乏經驗而原諒他。
