【英语问题】He would not mind being kept waiting outside.
在这句话里面,有5个不同形式的动词排列在一起:would, mind, being, kept, waiting,请问:
这句话对吗?是什么意思呢?
谢谢刘老师出题!我觉得句子是正确的。涉及的搭配有:
mind doing sth
keep sb doing sth (被动式:being kept doing sth)
句意:He would not mind being kept waiting outside.
他不介意要他在外面等着。
这句话应该是正确的。
He would not mind being kept waiting outside.
试译:他不介意某人在外边一直等着(他)。
would mind:情态动词+动词原形;
mind和keep后面用现在分词;
being kept:被动。
