32. Would you mind ______ quiet for a little while? I am doing my course work.
A. keep
B. to keep
C. kept
D. keeping
解析:
该题考查的是mind的固定用法。
mind doing something:介意做某事。
该题选D。
参考译文:
请你安静一会儿,我正在做作业。
拓展:
“Would you mind (not) doing...”句型常表示请求,意思是“请你做/不做……你是否介意?”“请你做/不做……好吗?”
是一种比较客气委婉的表达方式。
注:
“Would you mind (not) doing...”中do的逻辑主语只能是you;
如果想要对方允许自己做某事,可用“Would you mind my doing...”句型。
如:
Would you mind my smoking here? 你介意我在这里吸烟吗?
关于这种请求的回答如下:
1)如果同意,表示不介意时:
Certainly / Of course not.
Not at all.
No, not at all.
2)如果不同意,表示介意时,常用“Sorry / I'm sorry.”(对不起)并陈述某种理由来表示拒绝或反对:
Would you mind going to the movies this evening? 今晚去看电影好吗?
I'm sorry.But I haven't finished my homework yet. 对不起,我的作业还没有完成。
