Meaning and Usage

The word 不容 (bùróng) is a formal expression meaning 'not to allow' or 'not to tolerate.' It is often used in written or formal spoken Chinese to emphasize that something is unacceptable or must not be overlooked.

Common Contexts

不容 frequently appears in legal, official, or serious contexts where rules, laws, or moral standards are enforced strictly. For example, 不容侵犯 (not tolerate infringement) or 不容忽视 (cannot be ignored).

Collocations and Patterns

  • 不容侵犯: not to tolerate infringement; used in legal or rights contexts.
  • 不容辩解: not open to excuse; used when denying any justification.

Usage Notes

When using 不容, the tone is serious and formal. It is not used in casual conversation. It often precedes verbs like 忽视 (ignore), 侵犯 (infringe), 辩解 (excuse), indicating strict disallowance.

Avoid confusing 不容 with 允许 (bù yǔnxǔ), which also means 'not allow' but is more neutral and common in everyday speech. 不容 carries a stronger, more formal and sometimes moral or legal weight.

Example Sentences

This kind of behavior cannot be ignored and must be dealt with immediately.

The law does not tolerate violations; everyone must comply.

His mistake is not open to excuse; he must take responsibility.
