英語中怎么表達(dá)“不介意”、“某事無關(guān)緊要”呢?來看以下幾個表達(dá)方式。
1. I don't care. 我不介意。
例:
I don't care what others think about me. (我不介意別人怎么看我。)
I don't care what my parents say; I am
going to the party.(不管我爸媽說什么,我就是要去這個派對。)
''What do you think I should do?''? ''I don't care. Do what you want.''
(-你覺得我該怎么辦? -我無所謂啊,你愛怎么辦就怎么辦?。?/span>
She doesn't care about anything except
money.(她只看重錢。)
注意:I don't care.與I don't mind.其實是有區(qū)別的,看個例子。
情境:我想借朋友家的電話,打到自己家電話答錄機(jī)上查查留言。請注意,朋友怎么回答。
''Do you mind if check my messages?''
''No, go ahead.''(不介意,用吧。)
從上可以看出,I don't
care的語氣比較冷淡,有“我不在乎”或“關(guān)我什么事!”的感覺,而I don't mind態(tài)度比較客氣。
?
2. be okay
about something 不介意,能接受
例:美劇《老友記》S02E07:
情境:Rachel一直暗戀著Ross,結(jié)果Ross去中國出了一趟差,就交了個女朋友回來?,F(xiàn)在Ross和新女友在咖啡廳外接吻,Rachel和其他幾個朋友在咖啡廳里說這件事。
Rachel: Well, you know, as much fun as that
was, I've decided to opt for sanity.(我選擇理智放棄,不要糾纏了。)
Chandler: So you're really OK about all this? (你真的能放下嗎?)
Rachel: Oh yeah, come on, I'm moving on. (當(dāng)然,我放下了?。?/span>
?
3. for all I care: say this when
you do not care at all what someone does or what happens to them, especially
when you are annoyed with them 表示“說話人心里有氣,(不管別人做什么,不管別人發(fā)生什么事)都不關(guān)說話人的事”
例1:
《老友記》S02E07:
情境:緊接著2中的對話。
Rachel: Oh yeah, come on, I'm moving on. He
can press her up against that window as much as he wants. For all I care,
he can throw her through the damn thing.(我放下了。他愛怎么把她靠在窗戶上接吻就怎么靠吧。他把她從窗戶里扔出去都不關(guān)我的事?。?/span>
例2:
''David’s moving to Boston.''? ''He can move to Timbuktu, for all I care.''
(-戴維要搬到波士頓去了。? -他搬到非洲去,都不關(guān)我的事!)
備注:Timbuktu廷巴克圖,在非洲,是西非馬里共和國的一個城市。
例3:
I don't want to hear any more about her.
She can drop dead for all I care.(我再也不想聽她的事了,她去死我都不介意。)
總結(jié):從以上幾個例子中,可以看出for all I care一般用在有點夸張的語境下。

4. whatever: used as a reply to tell someone that something does not matter, or that
you do not care or are not interested when they ask or tell you something對別人的問話或提議無所謂、不關(guān)心、沒興趣
例:
''Do you want sausage or pepperoni on your
pizza?''? ''Whatever.''
(-您的披薩是要加臘腸還是意大利香腸? -隨便啦。)
''It was Monday, not Tuesday.''?? ''Whatever.''
(-那天是周一,不是周二!? -隨便啦。)
