什麼時候用
mind 當動詞是「介意」,後面接動名詞。最容易答反的是它的回答:Would you mind…? 答應時要說 No/Not at all,因為那是在說「我不介意」。
常見錯誤
- 答應 Would you mind 的請求要用否定回答;說 Yes 等於拒絕。
- mind 後面接動名詞:Do you mind waiting?,不是 mind to wait。
- Never mind 是「沒關係、別在意」,不是「不要介意」的命令。
常見搭配
- Would you mind
- never mind
- keep in mind
例句
Use your mind.
動動腦。
Would you mind closing the window? — Not at all.
介意把窗戶關上嗎?——一點也不。
Keep in mind that the office closes at five.
記得辦公室五點就關了。
自己試試看
Would you mind ___ a few more minutes?
介意再等幾分鐘嗎?
