“Would you mind doing…?”是常见的句型之一,学习时,首先应了解mind的基本用法:
1. mind用于肯定句,意为“当心、照应”,如:
You must mind what I say.
你必须留意我说的话。
2. mind用于否定句、疑问句和条件句中,意为“介意、反对”等,如:
I‘m sure that he won’t mind.
我确信他不会介意。
3. mind用作名词时,意为“主意、意见”等,如:
Her mind was not entirety on her work.
她的心思没有完全放在工作上。
mind用作动词时,习惯后接动名词(短语)作宾语,而不接动词不定式,常用于Would you mind doing…?句型中,具体用法是:
1. “Would you mind doing…?”句型常用于表示请求,意思是“请你做……你是否介意?、请你做……好吗?”,是一种比较客气的表达方式。如:
Would you mind turning off the light in the room?
请你把房间里的灯关掉好吗?
如果要表示“请你不要做……你是否介意?、请你不要做……好吗?”,只需要在doing前面加上not.如:
Would you mind not standing in front of me?
请你不要站在我的前面好吗?
2. 如果同意,表示不介意时,可用如下用语来表达:
Certainly/Of course not./Not at all./No, not at all; 如果不同意,表示介意时,常用“Sorry/I‘m sorry.”(对不起)及陈述某种理由来表示拒绝或反对。如:
—Would you mind going to the movies this evening?
今晚去看电影好吗?
—I‘m sorry. But I haven’t finished my homework yet.
对不起,我的作业还没有完成。
学习时还要注意:
1.“Would you mind doing…?”句型中的would也可用do代替,但语气较生硬,不如用would客气。
2.“Would you mind doing…?”句型中的逻辑主语只能是谈话的对方you.如果想要对方允许自己做某事,可用“Would you mind my doing…?”句型,如:
Would you mind my smoking here?
你介意我在这里吸烟吗?
