二、mind用作动词时,意为“介意”、“反对”,常用来表示委婉、客气的请求.
含动词mind的常见句式有:
1) “Would/Do you mind doing ...?意为“……你介意吗?”.例如:
Would you mind closing the door?关上门好吗?
2) “Would/Do you mind + 人称代词宾格或形容词性物主代词 + doing ...?” 意为“某人做某事,你介意吗?”.例如:
Do you mind my closing the window?(= Do you mind if I close the window?) 我把窗户关上,你介意吗?
构成“Would you mind doing ...?” 的否定式时,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 ...?” 后面接从句时,从句中的谓语动词常为过去式,用来表示委婉的语气.例如:
Would you mind if I closed the window?你介意我把窗户关上吗?
Would you mind if I turned up the radio?我把收音机声音开大点,你反对吗?
“Would you mind ...?” 的同义句式是“Do you mind ...?”. 二者表达相同的意思,只是“Would you mind ...?” 比“Do you mind ...?” 语气显得更客气一些.两者后接从句时,前者从句中的谓语动词常为过去式,而后者从句中的谓语动词则用一般现在时.试比较:
Would you mind if I sat here?(= Do you mind if I sit here?) 我坐在这儿你介意吗?
Do you mind if I smoke here?(= Would you mind if I smoked here?) 我在这里吸烟你介意吗?

在回答这种问题时,必须注意英、汉两种语言之间的差异:
1) 表示不反对或不介意时常用以下句式:No,please do. (好吧,请.)/Certainly not. (当然可以.)/Of course not. (当然可以.)/No,go ahead. (完全可以.)例如:
—Would you mind me smoking here?我在这儿抽烟你介意吗?
—No,please do. 好的,请便.
—Would you mind if I turned on the TV?我打开电视你介意吗?
—Certainly not. 当然可以.
—Would you mind my standing here?你介意我站在这里吗?
—Not at all. 没关系.
2) 如果不同意或不赞成某人做某事,就不要说“Yes,I mind”,应说“Sorry/I’m sorry”或“I wish you wouldn’t”,然后再陈述拒绝或反对的理由.例如:
