Would (Do) you mind ...是一個非常重要的交際用語,用來表示委婉的請求,或用來表示希望得到對方的許可.運用好該句型,應(yīng)注意以下四點：
一、Would (Do) you mind后接doing sth.時,表示希望對方做某事.
其中would 比 do語氣更委婉,熟人之間說話時,可用do代替would.如：Would / Do you mind showing me the way to the airport?請你告訴我去機場的路好嗎?
二、Would (Do) you mind 后接one's doing sth.時,用來請求允許或詢問對方是否介意自己或別人做某事.
其中形容詞性物主代詞one's在口語中可用代詞賓格擔當動名詞的邏輯主語.如：Would you mind my / me asking you a few questions?我請教你幾個問題好嗎?
三、Would (Do) you mind 后接if從句時,也是用來表示請求對方是否介意某人做某事.
其中在“Would you mind if 從句”句型中,從句謂語常用一般過去時,而“Do you mind if從句”句型中,從句謂語常用一般現(xiàn)在時.如：1.Do you mind if he attends the meeting?他參加會議好嗎?(= Do you mind his attending the meeting?) 2.Would you mind if I took his place?我代替他好嗎?(=Would you mind my taking his place?)
四、關(guān)于如何回答該句型的問題.
1.若表示“不介意”或“同意”時,常用否定形式.如：
① No,of course not.
② No,certainly not.
③ No,not at all.
④ No,go ahead.
⑤ No,do as you like.
⑥ No,indeed.
⑦ No,please.
⑧ No,I don't mind.
⑨ No,do it please.
⑩ Not in the least.等.
2.若表示“介意”或“不同意”時,則常用較委婉的方式加以拒絕.如：
① I'm sorry but I do.
② Sorry,you'd better not.
③ I'm afraid you can't.
④ I wish you wouldn't ...
⑤ I'm sorry,but it's not allowed ...
⑥ Yes,I do mind.等.
其中,很少用Yes,I do mind來回答,因這種答語顯得較生硬.
