学文网现在，有不少同学对交际英语“Would you mind ...? 介意与不介意”的用法及其应答用语模凌两可，似是而非。下面对这一语言点简要归纳如下：
1. mind作名词，意为“思想，想法”，如：change one’s mind (改变主意)，make up one’s mind (下定决心)等。mind作动词，意为“介意，反对”，常用于表达委婉、客气的请求。
1）mind用于疑问句或否定句中，可与条件状语从句连用，表示请求或许可。例如：
It’s very cold inside. Would you mind if I close the window?
2）“Do / Would you mind doing ...?与Do you mind + 人称代词宾格或形容词性物主代词 + doing”的意思不同。
“Do / Would you mind doing ...”意为“请你……好吗？”，而“Do you mind + 人称代词宾格或形容词性物主代词 + doing ...?”则表示征求对方的意见，意为让某人做某事。例如：
Would you mind our / us listening to the light music when you are reading English?
Do you mind turning off the radio?
3）在回答“Do / Would you mind doing ...?”或“Do / Would you mind if I do ...?”等疑问句时，要用客气、委婉的方式来回答。若表示同意，就用“No, not at all. / Of course not. / Certainly not. / No, do it please.”若表示不同意，则用：“Sorry, but I do. / I’m afraid.”例如：
—Do / Would you mind turning off the computer for me? —No, of course not.
—Do / Would you mind if I take your temperature? —Sorry, but I do.
4)“Never mind”常用于口语中，意为“没关系，不要紧”，常用于下列场合：
A)安慰对方。例如：
—Oh, there is something wrong with my electronic dic-
tionary.
—Never mind. Here is mine.
B)用作别人向你表示歉意时的答语。例如：
—I’m sorry. I can’t foll-
ow you.
—Never mind. Take it easy.
C)用作对别人帮助或求助的答语。例如：
—Let me help you solve the problem.
—Never mind. I can solve it by myself.
2. 用来征求意见、建议和邀请的表达方式
1）征求对方意见
Shall we + 动词原形。例如：
—Shall we go sightseeing in the rural area this week-
end?
—OK / Sure / Certainly / Of course.
Will / Could you please (not) + 动词原形。例如：
Will / Could you please help me solve the chemistry problems?
Would you mind helping me solve the chemistry problems?
You’d better (not) / 动词原形。例如：
You’d better not cough or sneeze in public.
2)邀请对方。例如：
Let’s go to the library together?
3)提出建议
Why not / Why don’t you + 动词原形；What / How about + v-ing。例如：
Why don’t you get her a scarf as her birthday gift?
Why not give her a scarf as her birthday present?
What / How about buying a nice scarf for her birthday?
D) You should / You are supposed to + 动词原形。例如：
You shouldn’t (aren’t supposed to) eat unhealthy food often.
