用法說明

How is "Mind" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Mind"?

mind doing vs mind to do

  • mind doing 是唯一正確的結構,用於表達「介意做某事」。動詞 mind 後面必須接動名詞 (V-ing)。
  • mind to do 是常見的錯誤。動詞 mind 後面不能接不定詞 (to + V)。
  • 在疑問句或否定句中,常與 would 連用,形成 Would you mind doing...? 的客氣請求句型,意思仍是「你介意做...嗎?」。 EN: Would you mind closing the window? 翻譯: 你介意關上窗戶嗎?

EN:I don't mind waiting for a few more minutes.

翻譯:我不介意再多等幾分鐘。

總結建議

記住 mind 作動詞時,其後永遠接 動名詞 (doing),不可接不定詞 (to do)。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Mind"?Which "Mind" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×Do you mind to open the window?

Do you mind opening the window?

動詞 "mind" 後面必須接動名詞 (V-ing),不能接不定詞 (to V)。

×Do you mind if I open the window? - Yes, I mind.

Do you mind if I open the window? - No, not at all. / No, go ahead.

回答 "Do you mind...?" 時要小心邏輯。如果同意對方的請求(即不介意),應該用 "No" 來回答。回答 "Yes" 表示你介意,也就是不同意對方的請求。

×I mind the noise.

The noise bothers me. / I don't like the noise.

動詞 "mind" 通常不用在肯定式的陳述句中來表達一般的「不喜歡」或「感到困擾」。它更常用於疑問句、否定句(I don't mind)或條件句中。在肯定陳述中,通常使用 "bother", "annoy", "dislike" 等動詞。

×Never mind about the money.

Never mind the money.

片語 "never mind" 後面直接接名詞或子句,不需要加介系詞 "about"。雖然 "Don't mind about..." 有時可見,但 "Never mind" 的標準用法是直接接受詞。

×I will mind the baby while you are out.

I will look after the baby while you are out.

動詞 "mind" 在英式英語中可以表示「照看」,但在美式英語中此用法較不常見,可能造成誤解。在國際學習環境中,使用 "look after", "watch", 或 "take care of" 更為通用且明確。

×Mind your step! - I will mind it.

Mind your step! - Okay, thanks. / I will.

"Mind...!" 是一個指令或警告,通常不會用 "I will mind it" 來直接回應。自然的回應是表示聽到了警告(如 "Okay", "Thanks")或簡單確認("I will")。
