（a）If you don't mind, you'll fall.
(b) If you don't mind, that is my seat.
上面两个句子里 if you don't mind 是什么意思？
在句(a)里,if从句是一个条件状语从句,意为“如果你不当心(的话)”。在句(b)里,if从句则是一个表示说话人说话方式和态度的状语(它表示说话人有些气愤的情绪)。if you don't mind 的意思相当于 if you don't mind my saying so(或 my pointing this out)。类例:
-
If you don't mind, your umbrella is in my way. 如果我这样说你不介意的话，你的伞挡住了我的路。
-
But we'll hurry up, if you don't mind. (Galsworthy) 但是,我们得赶快点,如果你不介意的话。
if you please 见please
If you see him/If you should see him 见 if you should do
If you were to... 见 were to
If you would 见 would
