3. 用于 Would [Do] you mind…?

(1) 该句型意为“请你……好不好”“倘若……你见怪吗”,用would 比用 do 更客气委婉,但不用will;其后可接动名词(但不接不定式)或 if从句;接动名词时,根据情况可以带逻辑主语;接if 从句时,若句首用的是would, 从句谓语通常要用过去式。比较:

我在这儿抽烟你介意吗?

正:Would [Do] you mind my smoking here?

正:Do you mind if I smoke here?

正:Would you mind if I smoked here?

(2) 对该句型的回答与汉语的习惯不同,注意回答是针对 mind 而言的,即:

①表示不同意,可用:Yes, I do mind. / Please don't… / Better not, please. / I'd rather you didn't. / I'm sorry, but...等。

②表示同意,可用:Oh, no, please. / No, not at all. / Not at all. / Certainly not. / Of course not. / No, go ahead. 等。

以上回答大部分语气都比较客气,但有的语气较生硬(如 Yes, I do mind),要注意具体语境适当选用。

4. 用于 make up one's mind,其意为“决定”“决心”。如:

She refuses to make up her mind. 她拒绝做出决定。

I think it's high time that she made up her mind. 我想她该拿定主意了。

表示决定做某事,其后可接不定式。如:

I've made up my mind to be a doctor. 我决心当医生。

In the end he made up his mind to go by train. 最后他决定坐火车去。

若其中的one's表复数意义,则mind通常也用复数。如:

Once he made up his mind to do something, there was no stopping him
