其实这个词也可以作名词,这里仅重点讨论其作为动词的用法,因为动词用法是考试的热门。
一、表示“介意”、“在乎”等,其后接动词时要用动名词;表示“注意”、“当心”等,其后接动词时要用不定式。如:
Would you mind leaving us alone for a few minutes?
你不介意让我们单独待一会吧?
I’m sure he wouldn’t mind your going with us. 我肯定他不会反对你同我们一起去。
Did she mind about not getting the job?
她没得到这份工作是不是很介意?
Did she mind not getting the job?
她没得到这份工作是不是很介意?
Do your parents mind you leaving home?
你父母舍得你离开家吗?
Do your parents mind your leaving home?
你父母舍得你离开家吗?
请注意以下句型:
Do(Would) you mind v-ing结构中,其实表达的含义是:请你做某事……好吗?
Do you mind helping us? 请你帮我们一下忙好吗?
Would you mind explaining that again, please?
请你再解释一遍行吗?
Do you mind driving? I'm feeling pretty tired.
你来开车好吗?我太累了。
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,但通常不用 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; 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. / No, I don’t mind. 等。
二、接if 从句时,若句首用的是 Would,从句谓语通常要用过去式(虚拟语气)。注意比较这两个句型:
Do you mind if I……?你介意我做某事吗?(后接陈述语气)
Would you mind if I……?你介意我做某事吗?(后接虚拟语气,常常用过去式)
Do you mind if I open the window?你介意我打开窗户吗?
Go ahead ,I don’t mind.开吧,我不介意。
Would you mind if I I opened the window? 你介意我打开窗户吗?
Go ahead ,I don’t mind.开吧,我不介意。
三、mind you, 句子
mind you中的you是mind的主语,常常可以省略;使用这个句型是为了唤起听话人的注意,有时则是为了要求听话人赞同。
You must be home for dinner, mind.
记住,你一定得回来吃饭。
Mind you ,don't burn those sausages.
注意别把那些香肠给烤焦了。
They pay full rates. Mind you, they can afford it.
他们付全价,请注意,他们是付得起的。
Mind you ,I’m not disputing what you say.
请注意,我对你说的话没有异议。
I've heard they're getting divorced. Mind you, I'm not surprised─they were always arguing.
听说他们要离婚了。告诉你吧,我并不感到意外,因为他们总是争吵。
四、I wouldn't mind 名词,这个句型表示:我很喜欢……;我很愿意……

五、mind that 从句

五、名词几个常考用法,用于 make up one’s mind(决定,决心):
