014. Do you mind...?
你介意……嗎?
[句型解析]
我們經(jīng)常要問別人介不介意自己干什么, 或者要他人干什么, 那么最好用 “Do you mind...?”的句型,其后可接“if”引導(dǎo)的從句, 也可接動(dòng)名詞。如果將“Do”改為“Would”則語(yǔ)氣更顯婉轉(zhuǎn)。
[實(shí)例]
1. Would you mind if I smoke here?
介意我在這兒抽煙嗎?
2. Do you mind opening the window? It’s so stuffy in here.
打開窗戶,介意嗎?這里太悶了。
3. Do you mind if I ask you a question?
我問你個(gè)問題,介意嗎?
