表達 「don't mind」 和 「doesn’t matter」 在使用中常被混淆。
要想正確使用它們，先要理解動詞 「mind」 和 「matter」 各自的意思和區別。
小黃老師通過簡單易懂的例句教你如何使用這兩個常見表達。
Today we're going to talk about don't mind and doesn't matter.
The verb mind means 『dislike, be annoyed by』 or 『object to』
It's followed by verb-ING and often used in negatives and questions.
For example:
Do you mind opening the window?
No I don't mind!
If someone says 'I don’t mind', it means that they have no preference or that they’re happy for something to happen.
However, the verb matter in English can mean 『be important』. 『English matters.』 means English is important.
If we say 『it doesn't matter』, it means that the thing that we are talking about is not important or not significant.
Do you want tea or coffee?
It doesn't matter! OK.
Sometimes, they can both mean the same thing.
Do you want chicken for dinner?
I don't mind!
Do you want chicken for dinner?
It doesn't matter to me.
