Although the verb “prevent” takes the preposition “from”, it can also be used with no preposition. The rules are as follows:
儘管動詞“prevent”可以帶介詞“from”，它也可以不用介詞。規則如下：
“prevent” + something
“prevent”+某事
The soldiers prevented the evacuation.
例句：士兵們阻止撤離。
“prevent” somebody from + -ing
“prevent”某人做某事
The soldiers prevented the refugees from evacuating.
例句：士兵們阻止難民們撤離。
The word “prohibit” works in exactly the same way:
單詞“prohibit”的用法和“prevent”基本一致：
“prohibit” + something
“prohibit”+某事
The school rules prohibit smoking.
例句：學校規定禁止吸菸。
“prohibit” somebody from + -ing
“prohibit”某人做某事
There are no specific provisions in the law that would prohibit an employer from summarily dismissing an employee due to his/her misconduct.
例句：法律中沒有特定的條文禁止僱主在暑假期間因為員工的表現不佳而將其解僱。
The verb “ban” also works in the same way:
動詞“ban”也是類似的用法：
The government banned advertising of tobacco products in 2002.
例句：2002年，政府禁止菸草製品打廣告。
