  • mind 用法

    一、mind用作名词时,意为“思想”、“想法”、“头脑”、“智力”.常见的含名词mind的短语有:change one’s mind(改变主意),make up one’s mind(下定决心),set one’s mind to (do) (专注于……),keep in mind(记在心里),come into one’s mind(计上心来)等. 

    二、mind用作动词时,意为“介意”、“反对”,常用来表示委婉、客气的请求.

    含动词mind的常见句式有: 
      1) “Would/Do you mind doing ...?意为“……你介意吗?”.例如: 
      Would you mind closing the door?关上门好吗? 
      2) “Would/Do you mind + 人称代词宾格或形容词性物主代词 + doing ...?” 意为“某人做某事,你介意吗?”.例如: 
      Do you mind my closing the window?(= Do you mind if I close the window?) 我把窗户关上,你介意吗? 
      构成“Would you mind doing ...?” 的否定式时,通常在doing的前面加not. 例如: 
      Would you mind not swimming in the river? 
      Would you mind not being late again? 
      “Would you mind ...?” 后面接从句时,从句中的谓语动词常为过去式,用来表示委婉的语气.例如: 
      Would you mind if I closed the window?你介意我把窗户关上吗? 
      Would you mind if I turned up the radio?我把收音机声音开大点,你反对吗? 
      “Would you mind ...?” 的同义句式是“Do you mind ...?”. 二者表达相同的意思,只是“Would you mind ...?” 比“Do you mind ...?” 语气显得更客气一些.两者后接从句时,前者从句中的谓语动词常为过去式,而后者从句中的谓语动词则用一般现在时.试比较: 
      Would you mind if I sat here?(= Do you mind if I sit here?) 我坐在这儿你介意吗? 
      Do you mind if I smoke here?(= Would you mind if I smoked here?) 我在这里吸烟你介意吗? 
      

    在回答这种问题时,必须注意英、汉两种语言之间的差异: 
      1) 表示不反对或不介意时常用以下句式:No,please do. (好吧,请.)/Certainly not. (当然可以.)/Of course not. (当然可以.)/No,go ahead. (完全可以.)例如: 
      —Would you mind me smoking here?我在这儿抽烟你介意吗? 
      —No,please do. 好的,请便. 
      —Would you mind if I turned on the TV?我打开电视你介意吗? 
      —Certainly not. 当然可以. 
      —Would you mind my standing here?你介意我站在这里吗? 
      —Not at all. 没关系. 
      2) 如果不同意或不赞成某人做某事,就不要说“Yes,I mind”,应说“Sorry/I’m sorry”或“I wish you wouldn’t”,然后再陈述拒绝或反对的理由.例如: 
      —Would you mind my turning off the light?我把灯关掉,你介意吗? 
      —I’m sorry. I haven’t finished my work. (= I wish you wouldn’t. I haven’t finished my work.) 对不起,我还没有完成我的工作. 
      “I don’t mind.” 意为“我不介意”.例如: 
      —What do you think of sitcoms?你觉得情景喜剧怎么样? 
      —I don’t mind them. 我不关心那些节目. 
      

    Never mind意为“没关系”、“不要紧”,常出现在下列场合: 
      1) 应答对方的致歉.例如: 
      —I’m sorry. I came in a hurry and forgot to bring food. 对不起,我来得匆忙,忘记带吃的了. 
      —Never mind. You can have ours. 没关系,你可以吃我们的. 
      2) 安慰对方.例如: 
      —Did you watch the baseball match yesterday?昨天你看棒球比赛了吗? 
      —No,I missed it. By the time I got there,it had already finished. 没有,我错过了.当我到达那里时,比赛已经结束了. 
      —Never mind. It was a boring match. 没关系.那是一场枯燥乏味的比赛. 
      3) 回答对方的求助.例如: 
      —Sorry to trouble you. 抱歉,麻烦您一下. 
      —Never mind. What can I do for you?没关系.我能为你做些什么呢?
