have a good mind to决定;考虑 -10个动词搞定英语口语catch篇第34讲

##lesson34

have a good mind to
决定;考虑

<no01,after tasting the bad food, ken had a good mind to complain to the cook.
肯尝到难吃的食物之后,他很想向厨师抱怨。

<no02,jenny had a good mind to tell her boss what she thought.
珍妮很想告诉她的老板她心里的想法。

英语广角镜

have a good mind to 意思是“决定要去做(某事)”,英文解释是 to be determined to do (something)、feel like doing (something) 或是 consider doing (something)。而 have a mind to 比较没有那么强烈的意思,与中文“有几分、有点想”意思接近。

这个短语通常用于(某件事)或是(某个人)让你不胜其扰到想要采取行动,改善状况。

下面另一个短语,用法和意思都和这个短语很像!

●have half a mind to考虑做

这个短语是指某人考虑做某件事,但是他还不确定会不会付诸实施。例如:

i have half a mind to slap david for his rudeness, but he'd probably cry.
大卫粗鲁的态度让我想甩他一巴掌,不过他大概会哭。(所以说话者大概不会揍他。)
