从一个长难句的解析谈allow用法

摘要：She and a group friends are using their program skill to create a new app called Food of Thought , which will allow parents, stude

She and a group friends are using their program skill to create a new app called Food of Thought , which will allow parents, students and even kind-hearted strangers to donate money to lunch accounts for students who are in a nearby school.

长句分析：

（1）首先寻找连词，关系代词which引导了一个非限定性定语从句，修饰先行词Food of Thought . 因此which前面是主句，which后面是从句；

（2）在which引导的定语从句中,who 是关系代词，引导定语从句修饰先行词students，并且在定语从句中做主语；

（3）在which引导的定语从句, which 是主语，allow 是谓语，to donate 是宾语补足语；

（4）在主句中出现三个动词 using, create, called, 需要区分谓语动词和非谓语动词。Using是谓语动词，to create是动词不定式做宾语补足语，Called 是过去分词短语做后置定语，修饰app;

翻译：

她和一群朋友正在利用他们的程序技巧，开发一款名为“思想食物”的新应用程序，该应用程序将允许家长、学生甚至善良的陌生人向附近学校学生的午餐账户捐款。
