二、mind用作動詞時,意為“介意”、“反對”,常用來表示委婉、客氣的請求.

含動詞mind的常見句式有：
1) “Would/Do you mind doing ...?意為“……你介意嗎?”.例如：
Would you mind closing the door?關上門好嗎?
2) “Would/Do you mind + 人稱代詞賓格或形容詞性物主代詞 + doing ...?” 意為“某人做某事,你介意嗎?”.例如：
Do you mind my closing the window?(= Do you mind if I close the window?) 我把窗戶關上,你介意嗎?
構成“Would you mind doing ...?” 的否定式時,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 ...?” 後面接從句時,從句中的謂語動詞常為過去式,用來表示委婉的語氣.例如：
Would you mind if I closed the window?你介意我把窗戶關上嗎?
Would you mind if I turned up the radio?我把收音機聲音開大點,你反對嗎?
“Would you mind ...?” 的同義句式是“Do you mind ...?”. 二者表達相同的意思,只是“Would you mind ...?” 比“Do you mind ...?” 語氣顯得更客氣一些.兩者後接從句時,前者從句中的謂語動詞常為過去式,而後者從句中的謂語動詞則用一般現在時.試比較：
Would you mind if I sat here?(= Do you mind if I sit here?) 我坐在這兒你介意嗎?
Do you mind if I smoke here?(= Would you mind if I smoked here?) 我在這裡吸菸你介意嗎?

在回答這種問題時,必須注意英、漢兩種語言之間的差異：
1) 表示不反對或不介意時常用以下句式：No,please do. (好吧,請.)/Certainly not. (當然可以.)/Of course not. (當然可以.)/No,go ahead. (完全可以.)例如：
—Would you mind me smoking here?我在這兒抽菸你介意嗎?
—No,please do. 好的,請便.
—Would you mind if I turned on the TV?我開啟電視你介意嗎?
—Certainly not. 當然可以.
—Would you mind my standing here?你介意我站在這裡嗎?
—Not at all. 沒關係.
2) 如果不同意或不贊成某人做某事,就不要說“Yes,I mind”,應說“Sorry/I’m sorry”或“I wish you wouldn’t”,然後再陳述拒絕或反對的理由.例如：
—Would you mind my turning off the light?我把燈關掉,你介意嗎?
—I’m sorry. I haven’t finished my work. (= I wish you wouldn’t. I haven’t finished my work.) 對不起,我還沒有完成我的工作.
“I don’t mind.” 意為“我不介意”.例如：
—What do you think of sitcoms?你覺得情景喜劇怎麼樣?
—I don’t mind them. 我不關心那些節目.

Never mind意為“沒關係”、“不要緊”,常出現在下列場合：
1) 應答對方的致歉.例如：
—I’m sorry. I came in a hurry and forgot to bring food. 對不起,我來得匆忙,忘記帶吃的了.
—Never mind. You can have ours. 沒關係,你可以吃我們的.
2) 安慰對方.例如：
—Did you watch the baseball match yesterday?昨天你看棒球比賽了嗎?
—No,I missed it. By the time I got there,it had already finished. 沒有,我錯過了.當我到達那裡時,比賽已經結束了.
—Never mind. It was a boring match. 沒關係.那是一場枯燥乏味的比賽.
3) 回答對方的求助.例如：
—Sorry to trouble you. 抱歉,麻煩您一下.
—Never mind. What can I do for you?沒關係.我能為你做些什麼呢?
