6 mind后面可以接不定式吗

He could have complained if he had been minded to do so.

请问专家:这个句子是什么意思?

为什么 mind 后面接了不定式?不是应该说 mind doing sth 的吗?

这位网友理解错了,这里的 mind 不是动词,注意它的前面有 been,很显然这里的 minded 是形容词,be minded to do sth 是习语,意思是 to want or intend to do something,即表示“ 想要(有意)做某事”。又如:

She was minded to accept their offer. 她有意接受他们的提议。

He was minded to reject the application. 他有拒绝这一申请之意。

I am not minded to answer any of your questions. 我不想回答你提出的任何问题

你的句子意思是:

He could have complained if he had been minded to do so. 如果他想抱怨的话,他早就这样做了。

    这里的 minded 是形容词,意思是“有做 ...... 的意向的”,be minded to do sth的意思是“有意做某事;想做某事”。例如:I am minded to go on to university. 我有意升大学。(摘自外研社、建宏《英汉多功能词典》)

   He could have complained if he had been minded to do so. 如果他想这样做的话,本来可以抱怨的。(《牛津英语用法指南》第三版122.7节有一个与本句结构完全相同的句子:I could have won the race if I hadn't fallen . 我要是没有摔倒,本来可以赢得比赛的。)
