Actually 我们不准说英语 can translate to both "we are not allowed to speak English" and "we do not allow (you) to speak English"
Both translation is correct, so you need some context to fully understand which is the one they mean.
Another example like this is 喜欢上一个人. This sentence can be translate to:
I fall in love. I like a man. I like my ex. I like to be alone. I like to fxxk.
Chinese is complicated (´・ω・`)
