mind [maInd] v.&n.1.用作动词,表示“介意”“在乎”等,其后接动词时要用动名词.如：Would you mind opening the window?请打开窗户好吗?She did not mind working late in the least.她对工作到很晚一点也不在意.表示“注意”“当心”等,其后接动词时要用不定式.如：There will be a meeting tonight.Mind not to be late.今晚有会议,注意别迟到.2.用作名词,表示“脑子”“心思”等,通常用作可数名词.如：I’ve a good mind to go home.我很想回家.He has a mind for science.他有学科学的头脑.We are all of one mind on this subject.在这个问题上我们大家意见一致.在某些谚语或固定短语中,可能是不可数的.如：Out of sight,out of mind.眼不见,心不烦.You must keep this in mind.你必须记住这一点.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：As we can’t afford a bigger house we must make up our minds to staying here.既然我们住不起大房子,我们就得安心住在这儿.摘自《中学英语高频词详解词典》金盾出版社 .
