“Do you mind if I smoke here？” “_______. Go to the smoking room, please.” A．Of course not

“Do you mind if I smoke here？” “_______. Go to the smoking room, please.” A．Of course not B．Sure, why not C．No, I don’t D．Yes, I do

Answer 1

D

句意：“你介意我在这儿吸烟吗？”“是的，我介意。请去吸烟室好吗。”注意西方人与东方人的思维方式，西方人不喜欢绕圈子，所以“Yes”就是介意，“No”就是不介意，即A、C两项都表达不介意的意思，与后文的“Go to the smoking room, please”矛盾。至于B项，意为“为是么不呢”，用于此处不合理，真确用法见例句—“Would you like to hear my specials for this evening? -Sure, why not?”故选D。
